I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Guys, I don't even know what to do. The deep bone infection in my dad's knee that put him in the hospital/rehab back in August has had so many setbacks along with other health problems. He doesn't even have a knee anymore- the orthopedic surgeon fused his two leg bones together. He's had UTIs, skin problems, and was going in for tests today for some stomach issues and AFTER they pumped him full of laxatives in preparation for a colonoscopy they discovered another external infestation of the infection and put him in the hospital.

He's sitting in his own shit that he can't control, alone in a hospital room because my mother has gone home to get some rest so she can get there early tomorrow morning and stave off a nervous breakdown, and scared out of his mind that they are going to tell him tomorrow they are going to amputate his leg.

My mom is fully on the edge of a breakdown and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I don't have the money or vacation time to go up there now. Thinking about taking advantage of the time off I get at Mardi Gras to fly out. But, ugh, travelling in winter and ugh, it is going to suck so hard. But it's my turn. Embrace the suck.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Dream!Tim's reaction to the human baby changing to a cat/dog hybrid was, "Well, NOW we're not going to name it 'Clint.' "

True. A cat/dog hybrid baby is more of a Hawkeye.

Oh, I am so sorry, Nora.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, Nora. I'm so sorry. That is absolutely awful, and y'all don't need any more of that crap right now. Let me know if I can do anything.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I've come to whine. I've been temping at a job that is in a field I'm familiar with, and pays well. I got the chance to apply for it, but was told yesterday that I won't even get an interview. Because at the time that I applied, I was under qualified. However, I was also told that if the job were open for applications today, I would be more qualified because I've been doing it for 6 months!

My only hope, and this is directly from the guy doing the hiring, is that they don't like anyone they interview and have to open it up again. But, they'd have to go through the whole process again.

Meanwhile, I don't know how long the temp job will last. Until they hire someone, I guess but they weren't sure how long it would take.

I desperately wanted this job! I'm beside myself with frustration, but don't think there is anything I can do.

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

Oh, fuck, Nora. I'm so very sorry.
