We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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 wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Congrats, Kate!

Bonny, I agree it's doctor time.

Zenkitty, I hope it goes as easily as that sort of thing can.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Great article on introverts and how they interact with the world.

I am SUCH an introvert. That article doesn't make me feel avenged, though. Very misleading title.

Now tagless for your comfort.

This is for Drew and his cranky pancreas.

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

I haven't finished the article, but I am confused by the several references to happiness as an external reward or stimulus. I think they must mean something other than what I think they mean.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Kate, congratulations to you and your DH!!!

Oh wow, I have a DH now!! Wow. OK, that put a huge grin on my face.

Thanks, everyone! We're both back at work today, but unsurprisingly, I am not being terribly productive at the moment. Mostly looking at pictures on FB and trying to catch up here, and wishing we'd been able to take a honeymoon right away instead of having to wait until my vacation time renews in January.

In the meantime, ~ma to them who needs it (and tons of continued ~ma for Drew!). And sj, congrats on having a plan for a dress you'll love! It sounds gorgeous.

Yeah wasn't crazy about the title at all.

I took it to mean that "if you do X, you will be happy"

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

Congrats, Kate!

Well, here's some positive news. An acquaintance of mine who is a VO pro (award-winning and such) is willing to give me a consultation while I'm up in the Bay Area. I hope that getting a realistic assessment of where I'm rusty and where I'm okay and where to go from there will help me get over my fear. I really need to because I don't have too many ways to get out of the poverty my disability has plunged me into.

That makes sense, Vortex. I couldn't decode that, somehow.

Congratulations, Kate! May your honeymoon-at-home be every bit as blissful as an immediate vacation.
