Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[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.

Mostly lurking...

{{{Nora}}} I'm so sorry, babe.

ION, I now have a pretty jar of "Hillbilly Bubble Bath." I damn well better get an A since this project has now cost me more than $20.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Because certainly there are people out there who get suspicious-looking bruises for totally innocuous reasons.

Yeah, I am that person.

Last spring when I saw my OB/GYN (she's very good about asking about domestic violence even if I have no bruises), I had a series of small round bruises on my arms and torso. She said "That's a lot of bruises....but unless you have a partner who is poking you really hard with their finger, over and over, it doesn't look like an abuse pattern."

I said, "Worse -- they're from a weapon."

I had taken up fencing 3 months earlier, and let me tell you, round bruises galore. Especially when you're as slow as I am.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Gronklies. The house is packed (except for the few things that I will need over the next few days).

My brain is very, very, very fried.

{{{Nora}}} I'm sorry to hear about the stressy family stuff.

People who have flown: Is there an end on the plane where you'd choose to sit over another? Back? Middle? (I'm a dork and booked all window seats because I want to see everything.)

Oh, I'm all over the window too, Lilty. Other than that, I couldn't really tell you.

I like to sit towards the front, since you don't get the claustro sardine-can effect when you're trying to get off the plane. Also, I like the window seat, since I can lean into the wall and get some space between me and the other passengers in my row.
