I went to Costco and spent $100. And then I indulged myself in terrible, but awesome, food.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This is probably the first Valentine's Day in many years that I haven't been sad because I'm single. I ate chocolate truffles I bought for myself and otherwise pretty much didn't even think about it.
Entirely coincidentally, I messaged a guy on Geek2Geek.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
Enough people I don't like get in relationships that I can't see being single as a reflection of my worth by any scale I value.
It's just a thing.
I don't like being single. Even a spectacularly bad relationship was not enough to disabuse me of that desire. I wish I could be uncaring about it, since I've got plenty of other ways to beat myself up over my own perceived lack of worth.
It's just a thing.

Probably due to modern technology, I saw a lot fewer sappy Valentine's Day commercials and am therefore less pissed off than usual.
I wish you didn't have to face Valentine's Day so soon, Maria, but then I wish none of this had happened.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I didn't put together how precisely cruel the timing was right away, Maria. I'm extra sorry for that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Allow me some superficial whining for a moment... Not only is today tainted but my birthday will never be the same. I'll always know the next day is when my husband died.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, Maria, I was just talking about that to the SO. That's just so hard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's what I put together earlier today. And it sucks.

Yeah, that occurred to me this afternoon, how awful the timing is for you Maria (not that there's ever a good time, but...)
