{{Daisy}} So much sympathy and strength~ma to you and your friends. What an awful thing to happen.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's fucking awful, DJ. I'm sorry.
well... i might have gone to wikipedia for that definition. still, it's not contradicted by the other things I'm finding.
I didn't realize the word was one researcher's coinage, so didn't get the negative aspects emphasized in wikipedia.
Then again, I'm not a prescriptionist and I think the word has taken on a shade closer to what I emphasized which is the giddy, "falling in love" feeling.
In any event, I didn't mean to ascribe any of that negative hoo haw to you, mein smonster.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Daisy, I'm so sorry. That poor boy and his family, and you, and everyone who loves them and him and remembers the sweet-faced twelve-year-old.
All possible peace and strength to his family.
All this, yes.

Ann, that's a ferret.
((((Daisy and Daisy's people))))
Maybe you could call tomorrow (after the first flurry of activity subsides) to offer babysitting, or doing something with parents while someone else babysits?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, DJ. How horrible.
