nevermind on the Dr. Who questions, I had inadvertently skipped a rather key episode, Journey's End.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That gift is one of the best gifts from any person to any person ever. The pointy sticks seal it. If you know someone well enough to know they like pointy sticks, and are ballsy enough to say "fuck your diamonds, she likes STICKS THAT POINT" you are heading in the right direction in life. Hell, even if your parent walked you all the way through that and you accepted the input...most people would not go out on that (NO PUN) limb.
That's just amazing.

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.
After looking at the photos of the gift box, all I can say is, "Can that be any more awesome? No. There is no more awesome that that could be."

I'm a bit in love with Isaiah myself now...in a totally appropriate, I wish that came in my size, sort of way.
What a lovely memory for Matilda.
Sigh.
eta: I'm in total agreement with ita!, too.
In high school, a male friend asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I said, "A magic rock."
He gave me a perfectly turned bit of stone shaped like a triangle. 3 is a magic number.
I have that stone in a place of pride to this day.

Where are we talking about Hannibal? I'm slowly catching up, and I LOVE this show. I want to draw lurid red drippy hearts around it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We just finished the last episode too. I'm pretty sure I need to wallpaper my dining room in black.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Dang, Matilda, she just hooked quite the catch! Isaiah rocks!

So now Matilda is going to see a special preview showing of Monsters University at the Pixar Campus tomorrow.
Bravo, Isaiah! Sure you don't want to swing by and pick me up? (My folks live right around the corner from Pixar.)
ION, I am now unemployed. And kind of exhausted. But one of the advantages of unemployment is midafternoon naps, so I took one today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hope this hiatus from working won't be too stressful for you, and you can enjoy the naps and other bonuses.

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