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.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

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.

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

"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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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...)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
hardly superficial Maria.
like -t, I was thinking the same thing about your birthday. forgetting about February 14th. I had forgotten what day it was until around noon.

Oh honey. I knew that. I just hadn't put it together. That really fucking sucks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shit Maria, I was just working that out. I'm so sorry. I hope this can subside to a dull roar for you as soon as possible, and V Day at least can be a day of reminiscence rather than full blown sorrow.
I don't like being single
And being disappointed or upset because you haven't achieved something you value is perfectly...expectable? Reasonable? Everything like that. Thinking you're a bad person because you haven't achieved something you value is...well, knowing it's a logical flaw isn't going to make the pain go away. But there's no correlation between "good person" and "in a relationship". Hitler was a vegetariansignificant other.
And I know there's no way to talk you out of what you *feel*, but that doesn't mean I won't try and alter that you *know*.

I know, and I appreciate that.
Although now I'm wondering if annexing the Sudetenland would help me get a date.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maria, that's neither superficial nor whining. It's dreadful timing for something dreadful. I'm so sorry.
