It drives me BATSHIT in a way that I can hardly articulate.
I'm with you on this. Drives me crazy. In a completely, incoherent, can't-explain-why, sort of way.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

But he'll be called Finn (or Phinn) which is rakish and cute.
I waffle about this sort of situation. When I was 19 or so and was talking baby names with my DH, I had this brilliant idea I'd name a daughter Evalyn Niniane and call her Nina. As I've gotten older, it came to me that naming her Nina and not saddling her with that mouthful would cut out the middleman nicely.
"Female" used as a noun. [edit: Specifically when referring to human beings, not any other species.] As in, "It looks like a group of all men, but when you look closer you see that one of them is a female."
Objectifies the woman, using her gender. At least, that's why it bugs me. Interestingly, swapping the genders grates a little less, but that's probably due to historical awareness loading the verbiage.

The status is NOT quo.
Not always. Since I've lost weight, I've gone down in band size, but my boobs have stayed the same resulting in a larger cup size. I went from a C to D/DD.

Please love me.

Woo hoo! DH's travel reimbursement came in! And before all the bills I had set up processed. This is a lifesaver.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Love the stuff, P-C. Thanks for sharing more!

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Oh, and I should have written in really big letters in my reply to Aimee about stomach sleeping:
Aimee, you are NOT a bad mother! In fact, I'd be willing to bet my entire life savings that you're an amazing mother.
