[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.

I recently read a romance novel that called it "his candied length." I was all, "Is that caramel sauce? Or a chocolate shell of some kind?" (And no, they weren't actually playing with foodstuffs or anything.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Crap. My father just called me to let me know that he's been working on my taxes, and it looks like, if I actually report all my income, I owe $1400. (If I only report the income that I've got a W2 for, I get $180 refund.) I'm trying to look up more info on my university website about how to report this stuff, because that really doesn't look right. (If I don't get this figured out tonight, I'm going to file for an extension and talk to an accountant.)

Trust my rage

his candied length.

WTF? I wouldn't want something called *that* anywhere near me. Ewwww.

One of my critique partners is trying to talk me out of using "cock" in my wip. She thinks it's too coarse for the tone of the story. I'm pretty sure it's what a guy like my hero would call it, so I'm sticking to my guns so far.

so I'm sticking to my guns so far.

Stick to your guns in regards to his gun. I prefer "cock", too. Lots of hard consonants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

OWEN SIGNED HIS FIRST WORD TO ME TONIGHT!

I guess signing can't have hard consonants, so my first worry is somewhat alleviated.

However, whatever the word was -- way cool.

It was "milk", ita.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Cash, that is so exciting.

It's very exciting considering I've been signing to him for two months with nothing. But I was warned it takes a loooooong time for some babies to pick up.
