I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You end up with a best friend at work who you usually lunch with, etc? We call them "work wives" even when they are guys.

Hee. I don't think it's just your work. Although I don't usually go out to lunch because I'm cheap.

ION, Nilly and ice cream tomorrow.

Lucky!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Sometimes "cute voice" just means, this is our own world that we created and only we are in.

I distinguish between "cute!voice" and "excitedtobewithyou!voice". It's the difference between sharing and taking something.

Lucky!

Tru that.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I really, really didn't mind being single, except on the occasions when it was something that marked me as Clearly Different (like being somewhere with all couples, and me as odd man out). I was good at it. I've always been my own best company.

But being in the right relationship? Nothing and no one else has ever made my soul feel calm. Ever, in 37 years.

None of my (very few) previous relationships were like this.

It was an accident, it was sheer luck, and it was all timing.

All of which sucks rocks to hear when you're the one who's single. Because how the hell are you supposed to know when your timing is right?

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

Is this a thing elsewhere, or just at my work? You end up with a best friend at work who you usually lunch with, etc? We call them "work wives" even when they are guys.

Def not just your work -- I dislike the work-spouse term, but the relationship is totally familiar.

LOATHE. Because, wow, that has horrible connotations.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It is definitely much more fun to clean the toilet when there is someone to listen to you swear at the toilet brush for splashing you.

I KNOW. And in so many totally different directions!

Hubby sometimes reverts to wolf and woofs at me. I will woof back, and we can have conversations based on tone of voice. Then we realize we have witnesses who are looking at us funny. Then there's when he's tired or coming out of sedation, and I have to bounce between multiple languages. And then people say we're cute, and we both get bristly.

I have a friend, and we can have full conversations with nothing but meowing each other.
