Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

Be warned, though, if you ever find yourself working in a sewing factory, management gets cranky if they have to throw out a bundle of shirts because one of the sewing machine operators bled all over it. Oh, and they hate dealing with workman's comp stuff.

(I was coughing up lint for a couple of years after my summer stints in the shirt factory. The women who wore dust masks were considered freaks. I saw neither Vulcans or skinks.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Skinks and tree frogs don't sew. I'm sure some Vulcans must sew, but they do it dispassionately and without blood loss.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

nobody knows what that is.

omnis, billytea. billytea, omnis.

billytea knows what everything is. Or at least many, many, many, many things. Animal things.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

One of my favorite billytea memories was paddling around Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park with him, while Emmett asked him about the most poisonous creature in every phylum.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

AND knows why it's cool to be that thing.

And that's why billytea is cool.

I can't find my ATM card. Blecch. Last time I used it was Wednesday to buy gas. I hope it's just in my car somewhere - I've checked all the pockets of what I was wearing, and my backpack, and my wallet. And the drawer where I put it at home. Not gonna freak about it, it'll turn up.

I'm definitely having anxiety about work tomorrow, but I'm trying to just be with it and not fight it. Still taking half a Xanax before bed, though.

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.

I'm not sure who is more awesome in this scene - Emmett or billytea.

smonster, good luck and a bit of ~ma in finding that bank card.

Heh. Well, Emmett wasn't that precise. He'd just ask, "So what's the most poisonous snake," and billytea would go through all the options and expand out to reptiles and beyond.

Also, included in that conversation: all the many senses that animals have beyond our five.

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

That was a good day. I'm looking forward to having such conversations with Ryan.
