Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Sorry you didn't get the job, Lilty. As I recall, yuo k ind of applied on a whim, right? Nice to get a response, at least.

I have no mountains, and it's a gray and dreary day. I am so not going to any parades tonight. Not that I was really planning to, but in the rain there's no way.

(eta: work~ma for Matt, I forgot to send that out. And way to go with the competitive weight loss, Susan. That first week jumpstart is such a good feeling)

aw, Lilty. this was the... grantwriting(????) job? I'm sorry. You'll get 'em next time.

I remember why I took my job now.

None of that defeatist talk young lady!

Tom and I are going to Lush tomorrow even though you ignored/resisted my attempts to tempt you to Boston to shop at Lush and hang out during your FIVE DAY weekend. So there!

Lilty, I'm sorry about the job. Keep trying, though. I hate to sound all Pollyanna, but the right job is out there.

So, I compared a word picture in a poem that we read in class today to a vampire. The professor was not impressed. I bet I'm on his shit list now.

~ma askye wards.

You have an anti-vampire prof, vw? Or he thought it wasn't an appropriate comparison? I am not understanding something.

Keep plugging away, Lilty. Better to be looking when you don't need a job by a long mile.

I think it's a little of both. We were reading Eating Poetry by Mark Strand. I thought the beginning was kind of creepy and reminded me of a vampire right after a kill. He disagreed.

Much ~ma headed towards askye.

He disagreed.

Yes. Because poems and other literature can only be interpreted one way and should invoke the same thoughts/feelings in everyone that reads them.

I am so not here.

Hm. Seems like a reasonable interpretation to me. But I'm not big on "correct" interpretations of poetry, so my opinion probably isn't worth much.
