Happy new year everyone!

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.
Happy new year everyone!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Happy New Year, bt and family!
My absolute favorite teacher from high school joined facebook and just sent me a friend request (I'm friends with a couple other high school teachers), and it just made my day!

Happy New Year to anyone who got there already. Don't really care this year, and will probably go to bed. There are *still* people here for the shiva. Thankfully it ends tonight (I think).

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
BWAH! But go team you!
To be clear, I win fighting the battle of insecurity, not "I win and he loses."
Well, sure. I mean, the invitations have already gone out.
I nearly choked.
I have a KJV with my name embossed on the leather cover in gold that my (Southern Baptist) grandfather gave to me in high school.
When I flew home last week with a cold, I impulse-bought a phenylephrine nose spray for the sinus congestion. It worked quite nicely. Doesn't do shit for me taken internally, but squirting it directly into my nose definitely helped. Short term fix, though.

Happy New Year to the timely advanced among us!
Seska, wishing you a good rest and lots of ~ma.
Still having fun with the sister. Time going too quickly, don't want her to leave. We watched more Justified last night after a drink (her) or two (me) at a neighborhood bar. I took the opportunity to do my nails. I started going nuts with the glitter on my fingernails, ended up with NINE COATS of polish. Base coat, two of dark purple, purple glitter, red glitter, turquoise glitter, green glitter, multi-glitter, top coat. Went to bed shortly after and my nails are fine!!! That top coat is the BOMB.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sadly, magnesium is supposed to help against migraines, and is in most of the herbal migraine prevention stuff, so now I just take Vitamin B and Vitamin D
I'm on all those, and I can really tell when I let the magnesium lapse. It makes the most obvious difference. Of everything I take prophylactically. God knows why I still have such a hard time maintaining a pill-taking routine, though. Probably because it seems to change so often? I dunno. For someone who's been on multiple prophylactics for years I'm pretty crap at it.

In re: Bibles - I am a serious Bible geek. My PhD title will be Biblical Studies, (only slightly) oddly. Although, now that I've transferred to a university that claims to have one of the best Biblical Studies departments in the world, I am hugely intimidated by the people researching things like the dating of the Gospel of Mark, and medieval German translations. I own five Bibles. Including a KJV that belonged to my great-grandfather. I've recently started giving them to charity shops. I did not need eight of the things.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
dating of the Gospel of Mark
I thought there was a pretty good consensus that it was written shortly after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. Is that not the case?
