Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.  

[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.

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

even at their geekiest music fiends have an interest in something with a bit of cachet

$2,916,544,743 is a little bit of mojo, and that's just the box office.

We were just ahead of our time.

By SCA-style, I actually meant just that he had the bright idea to wrap piping with foam and duct tape and then whap at each other in back of his apartment. I'm sorry, that was an insult to SCA.

Mostly lurking...

Ah...so nice to come home to a good round of FCM and talk of who's the geekiest. It's just another day in Buffistaville.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My geeky interests are broad but shallow. I'm a little geeky about many things. (Though, possibly, uber-geeky about Buffy and Angel, now that I think about it.)

I subscribe to 4 magazines -- BUST, Health, Macworld, and Self. The only one I pounce on and read cover to cover the day it arrives? Macworld. In fact, the May issue just came today and is lying next to me on a pile of comics. (And that last sentence pretty much sums up why I can't get laid.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

And that last sentence pretty much sums up why I can't get laid.

Nah. It's more that you're in a city that fails to appreciate you.

Seattle, OTOH, would totally get you the nookie.

Seattle appreciates comics-semicolon-kink-Mac geeks?

Which is actually a lot of fun if you can take the bruising.

Yes, you're right, but he was one of those mean-spirited types of guys who got off on the fact that he was a foot taller than me and therefore had a huge reach advantage.

He loved being able to win all the time. Big jerk. I wish I'd taken krav back then.

I can't even.

Many SCA people have done stuff that dumb in their backyards, it's just that in the actual context of the SCA, safety is a real priority. The people who formed the early SCA groups in this part of the world 35 years ago, didn't have access to proper equipment, so they would pad the inside of plastic buckets with towels and whack each other with wooden rods. The equipment is off the scale better now.
