brenda I'm so sorry.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

[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.

Thrive to spite them
I went to work, people were happy to see me. I was on the verge of a mild anxiety attack all day. I survived. I took some klonopin when I get home. I have Wed and Thursday off. I'll talk to my therapist about this.
I accepted and tolerated and hopefully it will get easier.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Holy shit, brenda, that is just unimaginably awful. My heart goes out to your friends, and to you, too. The universe just should not work that way.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh brenda, that's awful, Such deep sympathy for those parents, and wishes for any peace and comfort for them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
brenda, that's terrible. Those poor parents, how devastating.
askye, cheering you on from the peanut gallery over here!
Suzi, all moved in sounds real good. Now it's home!
It is officially summer here in Virginia, never mind that it's still May. It's over 80 degrees F every day and humid as all hell. I hate it. I'll be mostly staying inside during the day for the next few months. Having just come back from the PNW makes it worse, because I know how good the weather is somewhere else!

I will never understand how, as *wet* as the weather is here in PNW, there's no killing humidity. Despite missing friends, family, and my homeplace, there's no way I could survive a southeastern summer now. I may moss over, but underneath, I'll still be breathing!

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
Oh brenda, that's horrible. Much peace and strength to them. I can't even imagine.

Thanks, you guys. I'm just heartbroken for them. This is Luke: [link]
And this is a book his mom wrote about his brother's death. It's lovely, but gutting just now. [link]

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh brenda , how awful. I can't imagine.
askye, well done. I hate that edge of panic feeling; it's quite an accomplishment to tolerate it for that long. I hope it gets easier from here.
