She's nuts. Nuts and manipulative in a really unpleasant way.

[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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.
On a different note, today is Cleveland's 217th birthday. And it has made the top of a list of best cities to be in when the world ends. [link] Usual caveat on comments applies, but there is one of note: "In Cleveland, Armageddon is business as usual."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Me:
Am I a heretic for not really caring about the birth of the Royal Baby Boy? Granted, I also can't understand why everyone fusses over celebrity babies period.
Also me:
They could get my attention by naming him Aethelred.
I also note that I have friends both here and elsewhere who are into it, and I'm genuinely happy to see their squee, just for the fact that they are a-squee-ing -- but the object of squee, or rather his family business, just ain't my beautiful cake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I were monarchy, I wander around all the time saying "I know monarchy is problematic, but...NOT GIVING IT BACK."
Or I'd be like that secretary who discovered she was a Ghanaian king and be all good deedsy about it.
Or both. I'd try both.

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

King Peggy! What a wonderful woman.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
but the object of squee, or rather his family business, just ain't my beautiful cake.
I'm neutral -- but, baby, yay! -- and in observing social media today, I'm a little appalled at people who are being dicks about other people's squee. (That does NOT apply to anyone here.) And people who suddenly act willfully ignorant that public figures exist and that non-public individuals might evince interest in something other than their own 2-inch personal bubble.
Which is why I love my Buffistas. If the royal baby isn't your beautiful royal cake, you aren't a dick about people who are totally digging it. Because we are awesome.
Now I want cake.

YES. EXACTLY THIS.
I do suspect that Royal Cake involves Royal Icing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've had a couple of people be dicks. One was family, so I gave her crap right back. The other has dubious taste in college football teams so I can her a ton of shit about that.

I'm happy for anything that makes my friends happy. I'm just not personally feeling it.

Thrive to spite them
sj sorry your MIL can't see what a wonderful person you are. I'm glad you aren't playing her game.
I had my first day at Best Buy, which was interesting and kind of tiring (out of practice for standing on my feet for so long). I only did a couple of transactions, but I'll get more in tomorrow. And I don't get a headset but there was lots of chatter about the Royal Baby. One of the cashiers was keeping me informed.
