I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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

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

The only exception I can think of is Gone With the Wind, because really nothing could compare to the all out druggery of reading that book.

The Twilight series is my only example of the movie being better than the book (don't judge! I felt like I couldn't be a critic if I wasn't familiar with the source material - from the library and on TV, she got $0 from me). The books spend so much time in Bella's head, the movies can't help but be better for the reduction in whininess.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I was really hoping Divergent would be better than the book. It would've been so easy.

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.

Fucking grief. I don't want it any more than I want the ten inches of snow (which might end up as freezing rain, don't want that either) that is coming. Yesterday I was trying to be all wise and shit and present in the pain. Today I wwant to eat my feelings and not have them. fucking bodies that are mortal and then also survive others' mortality.

Our wings are not tired.

{{{WindSparrow}}} I'm sorry that it is so hard.

Hugs back, Laura. A cry and a nap helped.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

So sorry Windsparrow. Old friends are hard to lose.

ION, I'm being frivolous. I have forgotten how to girl, but am thinking of dipping my toes back in the water. Unfortunately, I haven't worn makeup in years and years, and now my skin is that over-50-extra snowflake special skin. I don't even know!

Atropa, thanks again for the Wet N Wild rec. The price difference between now and 10 or more years ago is kind of horrendous. Also, they have a website that explains their stuff to me, since everything seems different, and that was really helpful.

Advice online in general says for over 50 skin go all cream based, eyes lips, everything. I'm okay with that, I guess. I was just hoping ya'll would be willing to burble on a bit about colors and whether or not you use cream based makeup over powder based, and what you like about it or not, and what you do with it that's different.

Also, if anyone wants to talk about eyebrows, I'm all ears (and only half an eyebrow over each eye).

Herding cats for fun

It's okay to grieve for your Sammy cat. It's a measure of respect for the love you had for her and her sweet habit of putting Andi to bed.

You are going to be all right.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Periods in your mid to late 40s suck.

I am over it. I don't use it. I am not going to use it. I am done. can't I somehow shut this thing down?

There really does need to be some sort of opt-out system available.
