Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah. I don't know if Verizon uses SIM cards. I was going to get a Jamaican SIM card so I could just have a Jamaican number, period, but you have to use it every three months or so. And I'm only back one a year under good conditions. And I'd never remember to send that four-times-a-year text message in order to keep it alive.

My cat Oz is a nose-licker. It's not as bad as when I first got him and he would stalk me while I slept. As soon as I stirred he would launch at my face and start licking my nose. Now, he mostly respects my boundaries, and I let him have a little lick now and then. He will groom my whole face sometimes.

Sue,

I would find that completely untenable. I do not want my nose licked. at all.

Compassionately intolerant

This Halloween was the first year in twenty that I did not even reach for my nun's habit. With everything going on, I could not muster it. I'm kind of glad I didn't try.

Happiest of Birthdays, Ginger! May this be your best year yet!

Bartleby is a big time licker. He is indiscriminant as to body part, but shows a marked preference for feet and hands. Much nudging of shoes in a 'take these off!' sort of way, occurs.

So you're out of the habit?

I won't lie, after three years, I still find it a little offputting. It used to be almost compulsive, but now he's a lot better.

ETA: He's a strange little cat, but he's 98% a great little cat. Though at 20 lbs., he's not so little.

Oh god, Gracie has just started with the licking thing and it is so freaky. She's more about ears. But she'll get all up in my face when I'm lying in bed and be really pushy and ew.

Part of me thinks she's checking to see if I'm dead yet and testing for doneness so she can eat me.

Part of me thinks that's less creepifying than other alternatives.

Testing for doneness is the exact phrase I often use.

Muppet likes to lick my roommate's hair. I've told her (the roommate) to stop using fish-oil shampoo....

All righty, I have arranged for International voice, data, and text plan to be added to my phone for the duration of my trip. The monthly cost will be prorated to that time (according to the CSR I spoke to.) Very helpful!

People are super helpful when you tell them you're travelling for a funeral.
