I'm terrible at explaining things because I try to be very accurate and end up just confusing people more than actually helping them understand.
Well, *I* went "Huh, that's cool" at your explanation.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I really love the spiral metaphor -- never thought of it that way, and it's comforting. Also puts a better spin on "spiral" for me, which is usually downward, panic spiralling.
Epic, that's rough. Wishing you strength, and health for your mom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hi Amy! ::sticks out tongue::
Love to you, Epic.
Well, we all just got an extension for our business plans until Friday, but I'm still going to try and finish mine tonight. Too much other stuff to do.
Relatedly, what's a better gender-neutral term than craftsmanship?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Skill? Artistry?

Artistry? Artisanalty?

Artisan craft? Artisan would work, but I can't find the right form.

Oh, Epic, that's a lot. The fact that you ARE plugging along is a testament to your strength.
This. It's so hard. I'm sorry, Epic.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Thanks, guys. That means a lot. I would say more, but I'm also a hair-trigger weeper, especially when I'm stressed, and I'd rather not cry at my desk right now. But thanks.

Currently enjoying a slurpee (lemonade flavor, yum!), because I decided part of my self-care today would involve hauling ass to the nearest 7-11 on my lunch break for Free Slurpee Day. I did also pick up a sandwich (and Cheetos), for my Grownup Lunch.

Self-care is super important, Epic, and a free Slurpee is an excellent choice.
