So shitty.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thrive to spite them
I'm posting this here because it's more Bitches than Natter and it's indirectly related to ita so not really for her thread.
I have this urge to just-- get rid of a bunch of stuff. And making sweeping changes in my life. I'm not sure if this is part of the grieveing process. Or part of the new year but I just want to -- sign up for martial arts or a drawing class or do something. I've wanted to do that but my schedule and money haven't allowed it. The feeling I've wasted my life has intensified and I want to change that, those feelings have been bubblign around but this has just brought it all forth really strongly.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
With you askye. Not sure what I want to change, but I need to change.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, me too. I was already in the middle of something -- a mid-life crisis? A slightly-earlier-than-midlife crisis? But this has definitely kicked it in the pants.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm with all three of you. I've been feeling it a lot lately. Something needs to change. A lot does, really.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

looks at massive reorganizing & tossing of clothes (mainly stripey socks) and reconfiguration of various household tech systems that has occurred in the past 2 days
I have no idea what you're talking about. (IOW, I feel you.)

YOu guys are not alone in the wanting to change something in reaction.

Thrive to spite them
I have a tub of stuff that has been sitting there for me to go to Goodwill for weeks.
I tossed my last skirt on there. I've realized I wear skirts or comfy dresses around the house in the summer but when I go outside it's in pants.
But it's more than that. I got a notification about community classes - art, cooking (although nothing I could actually eat), languages, what not. But the times were bad for me or so I keep telling myself. I think I just need to find one and see if I can still register and do it.
Plus I know with therapy there is going to be some major emotional upheaval. I think part of me wants to get the physical upheaval done.
