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 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Also, last week I was at dancing and they were both there and I was trying to kind of avoid (by which I mean not stand directly next to them while they cuddle and make out) and my friend was like "why are you ignoring me? What's wrong? Did I do something?" Ugh.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ugh, that's hard, meara.

I think you can bail if you need to.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with bailing in that situation.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

meara, bail. You don't need to put yourself through that. There's no reason to voluntarily put yourself in a situation that will hurt you.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm waiting for a bus. On my way to the bus stop a random person saw me with my loaded backpack and shopping case and asked if I needed a ride.i didn't but sometimes strangers can be the nicest people.

Thrive to spite them

If you can bail then do that. Take care of yourself.

Our wings are not tired.

I agree completely on bailing. Last moment, can't do it, migraine. Or friend emergency, I'll be an alibi. I was distraught, you got caught up on the phone with me. Don't like those, we can give you dozens more outs.

Yeah, I may go with migraine--all our good friends will be there. And it sucks extra because it sounds like lots of fun--a cabin, a lake, a hot tub...but...

It is only fun if it is fun for you. I'm sorry this is so hard.

Also, as an aside, when I first read the post my eyes saw msbelle instead of meara, and I wondered how I missed that msbelle was into women, then re-read. Well, I was amused.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm sorry, meara. I vote for self care by bailing in this case.
