Oh, no, Tep. I'm glad you told us. That sucks. I'm sorry for your brother.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm sorry, Tep. I really wish I could have gone, and I don't even drink.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
That's a bummer, Steph. You made the place sound really great - and I don't even like beer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Steph, I'm sorry.
What does "moral claim" mean?
Sorry to come back to this so late. I feel like the conversation ended up clarifying things a bit. But all I meant was that it doesn't make sense to say that it's ONLY a relationship if it changes you, because not all relationships do.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Tep, that BITES. I know your bro put a lot into that place.
This reminds me of how my greatest fear, when I was about to graduate high school and go off to college, was that I would turn into someone else -- that I'd change so much that I'd no longer recognize myself, or that I'd become someone that HS me wouldn't like.
See, I was the complete opposite -- I was half-afraid college would suck as much as HS, and half-wild with hope that it would be different, and I would be different.
It was more like I got to be me, fully me, find out who me really was without all of the pre-judged baggage of years of being an outcast and embrace my flaming intellectual snarky geekhood.
I mean, I didn't roll out at 22 a fully realized self (who DOES?!) but my college experience was an amazing step in letting my self loose and finding out that people actually embraced it, instead of excoriating it, was...a life-changer.
