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.

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.

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

Great. Now I'm earwormed with Tiptoe Through the Tulips.
