Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Pre-LJ, I was on another diary site and made many of my first online friends. One of my closest friends at the time went by the pseudonym Savannah. She met Jeremy on that site, I believe, and they began dating. A year or two ago, they finally got married. I never really got to know Jeremy, and pretty much everything I remember about our interactions on the site is negative. I didn't really like him.
He had cystic fibrosis, though. Really bad. In the last few years, we'd get updates from Savannah about lengthy hospital visits. He lost an eye last year.
And he died last week.
I think he ended up lasting a lot longer than the doctors predicted (if I recall, they hadn't even expected him to make it to adulthood). The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation says average life expectancy is 36.8 years; I think he was a few years younger than that.
I don't know how to react because while I didn't know HIM well and didn't really like him, I know and like Savannah. I'm more sad for her than I am about him, if that makes sense.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't know how to react because while I didn't know HIM well and didn't really like him, I know and like Savannah. I'm more sad for her than I am about him, if that makes sense.
Then that's what you should express (without noting you didn't like him).
That's why we have phrases like, "I'm so sorry for your loss."
Which is exactly what you're trying to say anyway.

There's a phrase for everything!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks for fixing that link, ita. I have no idea what happened and then DH brought Chinese food home for dinner.
I ate too much crab rangoon.

“Not dead yet!”

Okay, I wrote what's possibly the worst Romancing the Blog column ever, but at least it's done. Not like more than six people will read it anyhow.
Feh.

I'll read it!
And Barb, my little sister and a friend are going to a romance mini-convention in Sept. in WVirginia. Could you...maybe look at the list o' authors and see if you know anyone, and make rec on who I should steer my sister towards? Suzy's a bookseller/librarian who reads books! She fights crime!
I went back to work today! The day was cake, the kids non-psycho, the co-workers happy to see me...and I am whipped. I took a long, hot bubble bath that left me feeling practically post-orgasmic, with added bonus freshness!
