Thanks for being a hug proxy, sarameg!
Erin, I think you need this print for your office. [link]
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Because books.
I'm so sorry you had to do that today, Maria. Thinking of you often with a lot of love.

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
Thanks. I couldn't have done it without his two friends and all of you. It may be tough to sleep tonight. I don't know. Mark stayed with me until 10, but now I'm in my head again.

We'll be here. Glad you made it through. One thing at a time.

Because books.
Do you have a favorite book from childhood you could read? Something familiar and comforting?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
busy life here, but thinking of you lots Maria
favorite books or movies from childhood are some of the best distractions that I can think of

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just had possibly the most awkward OK Cupid chat ever. Like, we could clearly think of absolutely nothing to say to each other, other than him telling me, three times, that he has a Ph. D. in physics. And when I tried to get out of the conversation, he asked if I wanted to meet in person tomorrow.

Much, much love to you, Maria. I second or third the suggestion for a favorite childhood book.
Operation Clean The Bookcase is done. I culled a big box of books while reorganizing, which means I have two huge tubs of books to take to Half Price to sell AND I have room for more vampire books if I find ones I need!
I just gave Ruthven 1/8 of a Xanax (as per the vet), and when I am gainfully employed again (which is soon, I hope), he's going to the vet. I want to make sure that there isn't a medical issue for him not using the litter boxes.
I have also said to hell with being a grown-up tonight, and have ordered dinner from the local place that does GF pizza. Pete is shooting things with XBox friends. I may avoid my responsibilities even more and just spend the evening working on a sewing project instead of writing.
Have I mentioned lately that I love you people? Because I do, and you are very helpful for me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Right back atcha, Jilli.
And that's odd, Hil. Maybe he's sitting at home right now going, "That was the best OKCupid chat I've ever had!"

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.
Thanks for being a hug proxy, sarameg!
Ditto.
Thanks, Calli - she's on painkillers for the weekend and seems to be doing a little better. If she doesn't keep improving, she may need an xray on Wednesday.
Best purr-vibes for her.
And Ruthven.
