Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

And do you occasionally just start talking in Massively Overdramatic Voice for no reason?

Oh honey. You have NO IDEA.

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

I'm a non-wealthy eccentric already.

Yeah, all those years of cultivating the eccentricity, and it turned out to be the wealthy part that was hard. Le sigh.

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

Oh my God, I love my brother so much. He just left for a trip to Ireland. I e-mailed him yesterday to tell him to have fun and "bring me back a redhead with an adorable accent."

He responded from an Internet cafe:

i promise to get you a redhead who wont be written out of your life randomly when they decide to leave her in an alternate future for no reason

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

David is such a Venture Brothers fan (and such a Monarch/Doctor Girlfriend shipper), it's going to kill him to catch up later and not participate in this in real time.

My own, lame observations: The Monarch marriage is indeed one of the best in all of television history; Ben Edlund frightens me (and, hell, I say that without having yet seen a single one of his Supernatural episodes); I wish my own dad was like Doctor Orpheus, all Massively Overdramatic and protective and in touch with the mysteries of the universe and leaving me booming voicemail messages that call me Pumpkin and remind me that there's frittata in the fridge if I get hungry; and those boys are much too good for Doctor Venture, especially Dean.

Oh honey. You have NO IDEA.

JILLI! BRING ME THAT CUTE BOY!

(see? It happens all the time. She just slaps my hand and says, "He's straight, boss." Which is true more than 98% of the time.)

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

I've never had vitamins prescribed for me, I've always just researched them myself.

I'd say that Steph's list looks fairly standard to me. I take an iron-free multi, a calcium-D-magnesium supplement, fish oil, and a super green supplement. And melatonin to sleep. And that's just the non-Rx stuff. So not so different from Steph except I take thyroid meds.

My own, lame observations:

Totally not lame. Totally spot on. And added to the Monarch and Mrs. Monarch thing - they're also the best *parents* in the show. Cookies!

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

I had prenatals prescribed to me, but I think with the copay it ended up being a wash. I keep thinking I should take Calcium or Niacin or various things, but I can never keep it up for long. And I don't see massive improvement when I am taking them, so maybe I don't need to. I could use my HSA for them if I remembered to, which is at least pre-tax and gets some employer contributions.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

wait, what? In Seattle more than 98% of the cute boys are straight?!

Is the calcium/magnesium best done at night? I take mine in the morning because the pills won't fit in my nighttime pill caddy. And I'm on an adult multi and the calcium/magnesium. Also Osteo-Biflex (glucosamine/chondroitin) because Hubby's joint surgeon recommended it when Hubby mentioned my knees are unhappy.
