beth, that sounds like he is starting to settle in nicely, if he has claimed some furniture for himself, that he graciously allows you to put water on.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, hey, guess what LJ & DW told me?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SESKA!!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
happy birthday Seska.
AndyCat is very comfortable. But I need to get him chipped. He is an escape artist. I'd prefer him to be an indoor cat, but reality is different.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Aww, thankies for the hippo birdies, amych and beth!
I am having the existential crisis that I expect accompanies most 31st birthdays. I am soothing with Torchwood (fuck, that's good TV), wine and sushi. Also, got taken to a theme park today (The Girl and I are addicted to these). The adrenaline tires me out and means I can only usually stay about half a day, but I did attempt this, and was very proud of myself. (4.8G, 0-80mph now in 1.8 secs - because they had to speed it up...!)
Back to Torchwood. It's about to be Day 5, and even The Girl's "that's not London, it's Cardiff" and "not very subtle" and similar comments can't distract me from being quite taken with this one.

Happy Birthday, Seska!
Torchwood, wine and sushi sounds wonderful. Except for my bitter disappointment with the most recent Torchwood, as discussed in spoiler font in Boxed Set. Also, the 30s are a most wonderful decade. Enjoy!
The roller coaster, never gonna happen.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
happy birthday Seska!!!
Am awake. 6ish hours until Set© date with GeekyGamerGirl.
Seska, kudos to you, there is no way I'd be able to do that roller coaster. The little Miners Roller coaster at Disney Land (forget the name, but so not fast) does me in. Too much wind in the face means I can't breath, which means Mild!Panic, which is bad.
Fay, no worries. It happens. There are plenty of times when people look at things and go "that could be bad, but, how to avoid it? No way. Lets hope for the best!". I suppose you could put the wine in an empty water bottle, but then you are drinking wine from a water bottle, and that just seems all kinds of wrong. So, next time, when you put the glass of wine down, turn on the light, so you don't have to do the blind outstretch hands thing.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I am really tired of people saying shitty things and then when I call them on it, saying "I didn't mean it that way". for example, we were talking about how some flight attendants are suing because the new flight attendant uniforms aren't being made in above a size 18. M says "isn't that rather large?" and then he posts a picture of someone in a cow costume with the caption "Here's the new outfit from the designers for the 18-plus group." so I said "I wear a size 14-16, thanks for telling me that you think I'm a cow".
He responds "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way"
Well then, how the fuck did you mean it, asshole?

Ugh. "I didn't mean it that way" is one of the most pathetic excuses ever.

"I didn't mean it that way" is one of the most pathetic excuses ever.
Yeah. "I didn't mean it that way" is actually "Fuck, I'm busted for saying a really shitty thing."
And it would actually be better to SAY, "I said a really shitty thing." And follow it up with, "That was wrong, and I apologize."
