Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'


Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I've still not successfully herded the words onto a card. It's not a thing I can do right now, or indeed, maybe ever. I apologize.

Same. I just can't.

In completely other news, I was in Target earlier today and overheard 2 girls who looked about 19-20 discussing groceries, and one of them said: “I have Cheetos and rum.” And I thought, oh yeah, college is back in session!

Always Anti-fascist!

Somebody else I know told me they weren't "good at" mourning this week. I'll tell you what I told him: Don't think there's a wrong way(I should add, absent lashing out a lot, or self-injury)

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

I literally started my card with "I have no words". And then followed with a few short, far from eloquent sentences.

I have lots of words. Too bad none of them are, I don't know, MAGIC.

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

I knew I wasn't going to have any adequate words so I sent scratches and light. Literally. Hopefully in a form that was recognizable enough to mean something.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I loved that dress, and was so happy to see Matilda wear it. I don't think I have that photo anywhere I can find it, so if you do, please post it again somewhere and tell me. Not that you need another task right now.

I definitely have lots of baptism pictures, so I'll round some up for you.

As an answer to the perennial "How are you doing?" queries I'll note that David had an instance of "emotional dysregulation" last night.

Fortunately none of the people I was yelling "Fuck!" at were the people in the room, but relatives-in-law at a distance who were trampling boundaries in a stress inducing way.

It's plugged in and lit up in the living room!

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

Hec, you have earned the right to say fuck as many times as you feel the need to.

That's the safety valve doing it's job.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I cannot honestly imagine being as graceful, eloquent, and loving in such a painful situation as you have been, David.
