You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

[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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, Shir. This is all just so hard, isn't it? There's no way around it.

But you will get through this. We're all thinking about you, and about your family.

((Shir)) I am so sorry.

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

I think I don't have a much choice on this. Sleep it is. And I think it's somewhat comforting, too.

They say to take it day by day. And since I don't wanna take into account tomorrow, I'll just take it hour by hour, or something like it. Sleep is good. Tomorrow can be a lifetime away. I think I can tell myself that.

And thanks, all. I'm just coming here to process things, I guess.

“Not dead yet!”

Process away. We will be your cheese product.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Take care of yourself, Shir. Get some sleep.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Shir, I'm so sorry for your loss.

And the cliche is that funerals are for those living, which might help you get through one that you know your grandfather would hate - it won't do him any harm and it might provide comfort for some of the family.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh Shir. I'm sorry this happened, and that it's so hard. Hugs.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Shir, I hope sleep is treating you good right now. I wish I was at my computer earlier to Skype with you, or something. {{{ Shir }}}

Guess what? Gothic Charm School is now on YouTube! [link]
Awesome! While I don't consider myself Goth, based on that video, I could easily be an honorary Goth. I look forward to future episodes. Looked great!!

The kitchen is almost clean enough to bake. Hmmmmm.

Nah, dear. It wasn't a request. But thanks. And good night.
I know. But the kitchen might be clean enough, time might be available, and supplies might be purchased for a weekend baking spree.

I love that Kristin responded on the board before waking Drew up. Appropriate, right?
Seems only fair. Actually, he should feel lucky that she woke him up at all. The online response seems perfectly appropriate. So? Will the wedding be online then?

Pix, I loved getting to hear your side of things!
Me too! Honored that I played a part in it. Who knew she'd check Facebook before b.org! (sorry drew, didn't mean to steal your thunder).

Gris, Much interview~ma for you!!!

OK, gotta cook/eat. Then I need to find the manual for old DVR. Grrr. (Megan Walker, still not shipped, sorry).

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

Will the wedding be online then?

All they have to do is change their relationship status on Facebook, and their union will be recognized in the state of California.

Our wings are not tired.

I dearly love that Pix and ND are engaged, and I think it was a neat way to propose.

But I am going to take the risk of admitting that I really hope this doesn't turn into "letsplantheirweddingtoo.com".

Planning a wedding can be stressful enough without 300 extremely well-meaning friends opining on every detail.
