Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

[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

Poor noodle. Kids can be such little shits.

Thanks guys-- I mean, I try telling him that today's freaks are tomorrow's successes and did he really think that people were kind to Steve Wozniak when he was a chubby twelve year old? Not to mention that some of the best people I know, his father included, not only were considered freaks as kids, but still proudly fly their freak flags because it makes them some of the nicest, most interesting people as adults.

Cold comfort, I'm afraid when you're twelve and the universe feels as if it's ganging up on you.

Well, I did the easy bathroom-cleaning stuff -- my mirrors are now spotless. Next step, sink. Then toilet, then floor.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, poor kid. I hope he has a wonderful summer and doesn't think about those other jerks at all.

Super sugar shoes. And a great price, wow.

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

Sadly true. I mean, you know one day he'll grow up and not care that some random assholes called him a freak back in middle school. But right now, it's devastating.

Maybe get him the soundtrack from Shrek the Musical, which includes the song "Let Your Freak Flag Fly" :)

Middle school sucks. Mostly because of middleschoolers.
