A long overdue update

My current anti-social behavior is not a reflection of this weekend. Hubby's visit with his daughter and son-in-law went very well. Granted, it started out a day early with the pair arriving at our house before we left for work, but the opted for breakfast and a hotel room at the beach. They slept while we worked. We took them out to dinner at ( Read more... )

What gets ME is that it was in the show, however
subtle. Buffy was given lines that alluded to it in
an episode (which meno won't let me recall) where
she said something about the two of them together
fighting it out, and "there could be oil of some kind".

But yeah, I heard some saying that it stuck it to all
fans, because then neither Angel or Spike 'got the
girl'.

I don't worry about it, I just want to be entertained. I
still watch the show, and love most of the characters
and if anything, Joss screwed Buffy's character by
making her so dark and depressed that it dragged you
down to watch the show.

I'm getting through Angel (last of 4th season) after
several months of watching it on weekends. I've had
such fun, because I forget a lot these days, and I'm
loving the OH YEAH moments. :D After Season 5,
I'll likely start back on Buffy. I have a hard time not
skipping the ones I've seen the most, or the depressing
ones, but right now I really need the distraction, and
I always smile as soon as either of those shows begins.

Gotta take what works, I guess. Right now my days are
more depressing than the Buffsters, so getting away
from that is key.

I did take care of some of the calls I'm getting on the
phone. I turned off the beeper on the ans. machine. It
was driving me nuts!! And if I'm close to the phone I
just pick it up, say hello, wait 2 seconds, hang up. If it
is someone I know they will speak, if not, it's one of
Dustin's bill collectors. If I hang up on someone I know
they will call back.

I got DEFERRED from giving plasma. Over a false positive
test from fucking 1992. They won't even accept a clean
blood test. Don't they know I'd be dead by now if I'd
had anything dangerous since '92? My doctor confirmed
at that time that I was fine, and was angry that I even
came to get tested...wasted his time....whatever.

Good thing I'm not a sparrow, I'd get me a machine gun, LOL!

I did get food stamps, finally. I could have been getting them
for the last 2 years, but just didn't want to. You get hungry
enough, eat the same thing every day long enough, you get
over the reluctance. ;)

It's just so shitty that so little money will keep me going and
I can't even get hired to get that! Fucking Oxford healthcare
didn't hire me. I'm putting them on my work search form,
because they need to be worth something. *sigh*

Right now it's 85 in the house and I'm one inch from turning
on the AIR. I will by tomorrow, likely, we're due for 97.

*haz hotflash*

Great, that helped. I took allergy meds and that makes those
work better, but I had such a snot factory from doing yard
work a day ago, that I had no choice. I still need to pick up
my piles out there.....(branches and leaves, not body parts) :D

Actually, I believe it was in "Fool for Love" that basically said it all between William and Angelus:

Angelus: [Grab's William's hand and holds it out in the sunlight] Do
you have any idea what it's like having nothing but women as travel
companions, night in and night out?
William: [Yanks his smoking hand away] Touch me again-
Angelus: Don't mistake me. I do love the ladies. It's just
lately I've been wondering... [puts his own hand into the sunlight] what it'd be like to share the slaughter of innocents with another man. [Turns his hand over and watches it smoke] Don't... don't think that makes me
some kind of a deviant, hmm? [pulls his hand out of the sunlight] Do you?
William: [Stares at Angelus, puts his own hand out into the sunlight again]
Angelus: [slaps William on the shoulder and laughs] Ah ha! I like this one! You and me, we're gonna be the best of friends.
~ Angel 5.8 "Destiny"

Yeah. We know what that means.

Sweetie, I wish there was something I could do to help with the job thing. I don't know what to say other than keep trying. Something has got to give.

And GOOD. You've paid into that food stamps and Medicaid for years. You're over due to collect.
