I apologize for what I said - it was an old thing that's stuck in my mind. I need to be more aware of what I'm saying.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

The "How DARE you!" quotient has seemed to have risen on the board in the last year or so.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think people are getting less likely to sit back and feel spoken badly about. If that's getting in the way of other people's freedom to not be considerate before they post, I guess that's a real problem.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Things I am thankful for:
- Having a purring Harvey stretched across my lap.
- Being able to swap out the PCV valve and valve hose on my car with less effort than anticipated, and then being able to get hold of Daniel's cousin to verify that I had done the job correctly.
- That my nose is no longer numb. Novocaine is weird. The cavity I had filled today wasn't too bad, either.
- The sun and relatively mild temperature today.
- That Daniel appears to be doing pretty well with his return to work.
- And just to indulge in cliche, B.org and all its denizens.

I love being able to pop the hood and adjust something on my own. And it's quite fun to say to the young man jogging over, eager to do prove his manliness, "No, thanks, I've already fixed it" as I drop the hood.

believe it or not, I'm not arguing for the right to be a dick.

You do seem to be arguing that people should be less offended at what you say, though. But not really why.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

WS, I agree on the Novocaine. (Core temperature drop being one of the side effects - you can't tell me that's right.) But YAY filled cavities!

Our wings are not tired.
Remember the year I went camping in Key West for Thanksgiving so as not to deal with family. I have decided to do this again next year. Seriously. Tired of trying to be peacemaker. Just show up and eat the sweet potatoes people.
