Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[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.
However, being the renengeful person I am, I would do this:
Get the local paper.
Find the "Pets For Sale" section.
Read aloud, to the door, VERY LOUDLY all of the ads for cats, but substitute the word "cat" or "kitten" with "pussy".
Jen, which personals? I wanna browse too. Co-browsing! It'll be fun!
Ooh, Personal-and-post! We could have impenetrable conversations!
Oh, Jen. Put on something with a laugh track and turn up the TV.
Or, start yelling to them, "To the left! She likes it to the left!"
t beat, beat
"THE OTHER LEFT!!"
Nah, I can't do that. I like my roommates, and they deserve to have some sex every once in a while. And it's not their fault that our house is old and the very antithesis of soundproof.
I'm just cranky. I slept really badly last night (like, four hours with a post-nightmare waking every hour or so), had a tough day at clinical, and came home wanting nothing more than the apartment to myself for a while. Roommate came home shortly thereafter, of course. I think I might just cut my losses and go to bed now.
Edit: Aimee, you are cracking me up. Emily, I spent some time at craigslist before the despair became unmanageable and I moved instead to disinformation.com. Those are better--at least people there seem marginally literate--but still there are no sarcastic vegan pacifist goths to be found.
We could have impenetrable conversations
It sounds like impenetrableness is part of the problem.
Is there anything more demoralizing than browsing personal ads while overhearing one's roommate having sex?
Hey there, you can come over here - we are doing nothing at all, but we're not having sex. We are too tired for sex tonight. You can even use our computer while we nap in front of the TV or go to sleep. Or we can all snuggle on the couch.
Susan, all the best for your dad, and some calm to you.
Susan, much ma to your dad and your family (and peace for you).
