Do you have to bring a gift, sj? I basically never bring gifts to kids' birthday parties, and nobody has ever said anything to me about it. I think a lot of parents would be just as happy without another gift, and a 3-year-old isn't going to care about who did or didn't bring something.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I do. I don't actually mind bringing a gift. I just have no idea what is appropriate these days.

When in doubt, I always buy book(s).

There are reasons she's not allowed a flamethrower.
My friends eagerly forbid me from having one, too. Something about my akwardination and the lack of ability to control where the fire will spread to.
The patriarchy, I tell you. They lack the vision.

In the interests of fairness and chaos, I'd like to mention that a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and a lighter make a pleasant way to hunt mosquitos, plus you can get cheap, interesting movie quality effects on the ceiling. Please confirm the low-flammability of your ceiling before attempting.

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.
I did not wake up coughing last night. My cough is improving.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yay for a coughing decrease!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Less coughing is a good thing. Yay!
