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.

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.

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

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.

I think wallowing gets a bad rap. Sometimes you gotta lay low so you can get to where you don't need to anymore.

Yes. Good lord, yes.

Wallow is a funny word. The more I say it, the funnier it gets. Wallow wallow wallow wallow.

"take the night off and have some cookie dough and booze"

Oh by all means, YES to cookie dough and booze! And yes to going to bed early and just giving up on the day. My wallowing tends to be of a significantly more morose variety. And even then, as I said, I think sometimes you do what you got to do.
