Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dad's part of some kind of trial now and has this stent that's been coated with medication. He'll go in every 3 months for the next 15 months to get updates.

It's probably a heparin- or Plavix-coated stent, which is cool, because it helps prevent the formation of blood clots.

Ali, if you have any questions about the parental cardiac roller-coaster, or just want to vent/freak out, feel free to e-mail me, okay?

As for me, I'm not sure if I so much look bad in gothy stuff, but -- like punk stuff -- it makes me feel like I'm trying too hard. So I stick with boring clothes.

That's it! I couldn't express it right, but that's exactly it -- I feel like I'm trying too hard to be something I'm not and that it must be glaringly obvious that I'm a big faker.

It's all about posing, darling. Everybody's in some kind of drag (as the drag queens like to point out.)

Hrm. You know how I feel about posing. I keep flogging the dead horse of Authenticity.

I need to break you of that. And I will. I will break you.

Yeah, but there's knowing that intellectually, and then there's knowing that in a way that lets you go to the mall in full Victorian mourning dress. I'm good with the former, the latter NSM.

It's about self-confidence, I think, and that's never been one of my defining qualities. (And actually, I think Stephanie's a little braver than I am -- I've seen her link to stuff on Torrid that I couldn't wear.)

Should I have heard that in a Boris Badenov accent? Because I did.

Also -- nevah gonna happen, my friend.

(And actually, I think Stephanie's a little braver than I am -- I've seen her link to stuff on Torrid that I couldn't wear.)

But I don't actually buy/wear everything I link to. Most of what I link to is stuff that I like, but it doesn't always (or doesn't *often*) end up in my closet.

See, that completely makes sense. I'm not sure why I thought clothes people linked to were clothes they bought (or would buy, was money infinite) but I did.

And now I'm playing on the Torrid site. Most of the Spring stuff is boring, ugly or both, but I do like this blouse and this skirt.

Oooh, Lyra Jane -- I like both of those! (And I agree -- the theme for Spring clothing seems to be Bright and Ugly. Or possibly Ugly and Bright.)

What is even happening?

Susan, many prayers for your dad, your family, and you.

askye, I'm glad your dad had the composure to call 9-1-1. Thank goodness. Many prayers for him, and all y'all, too.

That's pretty funny to me Aimee, not that's she's not. I agree she is. But when you first started posting at WXing, and had a user picture up, I think you put me in mind of her. She puts me very much in mind of my college roommate.

being That Age, all of one's elders are That Age, too. :-/
Yep. And it pretty much sucks.

Always Anti-fascist!

Is it wrong if I think Boris!Hec is hot? (Yeah...like oosting is ever wrong in Bitches.) Don't worry, not looking for a "thing"...I'm not Ms. Jones. Duh.
