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.

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.

Because books.

I remember four as lovely, if that helps.

::distributes chocolate and booze for the meantime::

What is even happening?

Me too.

(Well, I have no chocolate and no booze, but I thought four was generally fantastic. I hope it's so for you too, sj.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I like 4 year olds. They can be reasoned with a bit more. Things aren't going ltc's way it's just automatic meltdown. It's exhausting. I'm not sleeping right now because I'm having terrible sciatica pain, which has been going on for a least a week now.

Always Anti-fascist!

Better than expected dental cleaning. Guess the Sonicare(AKA Like The El Train, but It Makes You Spit) is worth the money and effort. Good to know.ETA: I would have kid in a second if one could start from four on, somehow. Though I'm not sure how one would deliver that.

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

I'm on a work conference call, listening to a presentation on essential oils. We're in electrical engineering.

What. Why, Zen?!? Is it one of those MLm things?

It's probably something under the guise of employee development and improving quality of life. I bet it's sponsored by the oil pushers.

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

Ugh, zen. That is absolutely not cool. What a waste of time.

Punishingly Intricate

That is absolutely not cool. What a waste of time.

Yeah, that's definitely worth a strongly worded complaint to HR. I did when my old company brought a freaking chiropractor in to give a presentation.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Ugh, zen. That is absolutely not cool. What a waste of time.

Whenever a meeting goes off on a long tangent or something and I start to get frustrated at the waste of time, I have a little mantra, "It's not a waste of my time, I'm being paid for my time. It's a waste of their money." Of course, I'm not salaried. Might not work as well if you're salaried. Anyway, sounds frustrating, Zen.
