Gronk. Off to therapy. I don't want to go, but I am going anyway.
When I get back I need some Goth advice, since I just found out that Dave's band is playing in a club next week on their Goth night.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Really? Staple removers that aren't fangs of paper death? Huh.
I echo Fay in the huh-ness.

~ma to your family, askye. We went through the same thing with my grandmother, except the asshat was my cousin. Still an asshat. It's tough, but you guys are tougher.

Thrive to spite them
Days like this I really want to change my name to somethign simple and easy to spell like Smith or Jones or Doe. I called a store to see if an order was ready, they couldn't find and couldn't find it. Then they finally found it under Reese.
They were originally looking under some butchered version of my name but -- REESE? That's no where near my last name.
Also, the Canadians have the right idea by say Zed for Z. Because then I wouldn't have to do the whole "z as in zebra/zipper" because that doesn't always work and there are weirdly placed "v"s or "c"s in my name.
you think people wouldn't get so tripped up by 5 letters.

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

Totally. Even when I do the whole "z as in zebra" "No, the last letter of the alphabet" thing, I still get P or C or V or G there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There's a 'G' in my last name, but even when I try spell it out carefully, people often think I'm saying 'Z'. So usually pause a bit before and after I say 'G', and try to put emphasis on the G.
It doesn't help that my last name has a weird (by english standards) German spelling.

Wish I could stay at home to watch the shuttle launch. Stoopid work.

I'm gonna try to watch a webcast, but I figure that most servers are gonna be too busy.
The NASA web server sucks severed goat hooves whenever something exciting in space is going in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I get "f" turned into "s" a lot. DH compulsively spells his last name "S as in Sam" intervening letter "F as in Freddy, F as in Freddy", I don't think he could skip the clarifications if he tried.
I also get "k" turned into "h", but that's more of a handwriting issue.
So excited about the shuttle launch.

Compassionately intolerant
While I was managing my friends' wedding in May, I heard the absolute worst bridezilla story every to infect my ears.
Too many details of horrible behavior to go into here, but the bottom line was that each maid was forced to buy a designer dress (over $1,000) plus craxy costing accessories so that they would look "perfect".
At some point, someone didn't look as perfect as required. So. The bride told the maids that she was a little overwrought from the excitement of the wedding on some island where the ceremony was held, so she needed to go back to land on the launch without them.
She left and never sent the boat back for them. They sat, in their designer duds, for 3 hours before someone said hey, where are those overworked, broke, slaves to convention?
The worst bit is, they didn't even hire a hitman to rub the bitca out! They actually went to the reception!!
It was So. Very. Heathers.
