Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That's great. Good for you. That's a lot to get done on a good day, and today was not a good day.

But yeah, send in your timesheet. We'll wait here. And then getting some rest probably would be a good idea.

Our wings are not tired.

You can hate the world! We'll hate the world with you! Seriously, I know we're not there in person, but we are totally here for you, so get your ass in here and vent all you need. The floor is yours for the next however long you need. No need to apologize, just be here, and we'll be here with you.

I can't say it better than that.

Punishingly Intricate

Wishing the best for your grandma, smonster. Also

I can't imagine not having animals in my life, so I need a partner that does more than tolerate them.

YES! So important. Bob really dove into the deepend of pet ownership when he hooked up with me, my super elderly dog, and two elderly cats one of which was diabetic. And he was kind of allergic to the cats. One of the main reasons that I knew that he was really the one for me was that he not only helped me with their care but he did it with enthusiasm and, eventually, affection. I think he was more heartbroken than me when first Frank, then Swifty died because he didn't have the years of decline, and getting used to the idea of them dying sooner rather than later, that I did. I never really made a list of qualities I was looking for in a partner when I was single (lo' those many years) but, if I had, enthusiasm for pets would have had to have been high on the list.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thanks, y'all. Made me cry again, in a goodish way.

It's been a rough day here too.

What's up, Pix?

Timesheet done. Another Lucero song posted to fb. And looky there, it's pretty much my bedtime.

Good job. Hit the sack.

Always Anti-fascist!

When I'm really bummed, I'm never sure if wallowing or distraction is the right call.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wallowing is rarely the right call, but sometimes it's the only thing I can manage.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I don't know, I think on Day 1, you can wallow.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think there should be a socially recognized wallowing window. It's not exactly "wear solid black and a full veil for a year", but "take the night off and have some cookie dough and booze" has its place.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Wallowing is rarely the right call, but sometimes it's the only thing I can manage.

It's definitely not the healthy long-term strategy, but some cathartic wallowing is sometimes what you need. And sometimes it's all you can manage, so it's what you do.
