Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So I ended up walking up with the book and 2 cds.

That's a pretty awesome sale on his part -- but if it works for you, all the better!

I've read through some of the book and a lot of it is "omigod! That's me!"

It's so very, very true. Even on re-read, I still have the "that's me" response, balanced between "I'm not just an idiot!1!" and "but why did I have to lose so much time before figuring this out?" (Yeah, I still need to work on the beating myself up thing.)

Whatever you end up doing as far as treatment goes, I hope the whole path to finding answers is a good one for you. I'm so happy to see it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

~ma to your great-aunt, askye. And I hope the book (and the cds!) are helpful.

Vortex, I had no idea you were still waiting to close. How in the world are you still sane? I'd have bitten a chunk out of the nearest ne'er do well long before now.

Heh. I had to share the Kenny Rogers riff wit' da guys. They're shaking their heads. But they're grinning.

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm really ready to get this thing done.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

{{askye and family}}

Beverly, I hope all your medical procedure woes turn out well and conclude easily. Closure is good.

Anne, how's your stepdad doing today? Hopefully better.

I got my picture taken today for my passport application, but it looks like a mugshot and me no likey. I have to try again tomorrow. Really want to get it in the mail tomorrow.

Great pictures, great filks, and fun wit. Thanks you guys for being you.

Bev, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Anne, how's your stepdad doing today? Hopefully better.

Unfortunately, not really. Turns out it's the drug-resistant kind of staph. Plus, they've also found streptococcus bacteria in there as well. He's currently in isolation. Continued ~ma is very much appreciated.

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?

Oh, my. Anne, all kinds of ~ma to your stepdad and mom.
