Happy belated birthday, Vortex! Enjoy your "birthday week."
Congrats to Aims the grad! Woot!

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I guess I just feel like I've gotten to a point in my life where most things I do feel a little hollow without somebody there to share it with.
I hear you, Seanie. At this point its just getting fucking old. They've been telling me since I was fifteen that I don't need a boyfriend to be happy and I should just be me... and I guess I believe that. But I'm tired of it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I'm 44 and have never had a serious relationship. Lately I've been sorta' flipping back and forth between feeling like it'd be OK if I stay single the rest of my life, and feeling like I'm really missing out by not being in a relationship.

move out and draw fire
feeling like I'm really missing out by not being in a relationship
Yeah, you're really missing out on the other person's random mood swings, bizarre demands, strange sleeping habits, strange eating habits, fights about money...and that's just in a healthy relationship.
Of course, you're also missing out on the potential for daily sex, but that might just be Vortex's parents.

Our wings are not tired
I don't want to have daily sex with Vortex's parents. IJS.

It occurs to me that maybe part of the reason Vortex's Mom is being so difficult because she's NGA for the first time in however long.

I get a lot of that from the roommates and don't get to have sex with either one of them.

Hubby thanks all of you lonely Buffistas for the hugs he's been getting, and he wishes you all congenial companionship. It's not been the smoothest or most rewarding relationship, but I can't imagine my life without my Grateful Dead/Viking death metal-loving guy.

strange sleeping habits
My cat insists on sleeping on my arm and hand when I sleep on my side. When I sleep on my stomach she insists on sleeping on my back.
Good thing she's not a big cat.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My cat insists on sleeping on my arm and hand when I sleep on my side. When I sleep on my stomach she insists on sleeping on my back.
My cat does the former. He doesn't do the latter because I start giggling when he tries, and then he has to go off and fish the used kleenex out of the trash in revenge.

I honestly thought it was all a lie, a deception, something people are telling themselves to feel less alone in this world.
I know love exists, in the form of caring about other people.
But whether romantic love exists? Maybe. Maybe not. Whether people are lying to themselves or not, I'm not going to fault anyone for wanting to feel less alone in the world.
Which is all to say, thanks Shir.
And everybody else.
