I've heard that the getting to sleep drugs are not nearly as much of a problem as the getting (and staying) awake drugs- as far as addiction.
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.

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My mom never threatened; she promised. If we acted up, she delivered us to the car, and home.
Mine, too, Daniel. I remember fully loaded carts standing lonely and deserted in the grocery store while my mom dragged the offending child off with the other children quietly following.

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

I'm appreciated! And they said I'd never make my mark in the performance arts. You should see when I set the citrus on fire first.
Hiya, aurelia! How are you tonight?

You are always appreciated, Kristin. Oooh, I'll bet the flaming citrus is pretty... and fragrant too.
I'm good. My current gig, which should be at least a little stressful, has turned out to be pretty easy. I'm hoping it doesn't become too boring before it ends.

Excellent. I'm having a little late night insomnia as a side with my main course of sleep. I thought I'd wander in here a bit and see who else was up and about.

Next time, try the salad instead.
I'm trying to decide between bed and making some LJ replies. Bed might win.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Bed is looking like a good option for me as well, though I don't know if I will be able to sleep again just yet. In any case, sleep well, sweetie!
ETA: Perkins! Did you have a great trip? How's the packing going?
