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 ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There's also the possibility that he did this, or something like it, often enough that he doesn't remember her and this specific occasion (sorry, the cynicism tag doesn't close).

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

It's never just once.

Or he may remember her as "the one that got away."

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.

You can have a little more time with Harvey then. May those days be full of comfort for you and your wise old cat.

I have been trying to simply enjoy the moment with him, but the last few weeks, I have had a hard time with it, feeling that perhaps this good run was drawing to a close. I am so relieved and grateful.

Zenkitty, I hope you got some pain relief.

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

I'm off to take my MTTC (Michigan state test to qualify for a teaching certificate). I am slightly terrified. It's done electronically, so I will get a preliminary score when I finish. I'll let you know how it goes.

Good luck!
