Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Magazines are good for this. I am also in the so many books and I don't want to read any of them category, but I think I am going to try to find one anyway.
Night, Bitches!

Absomalutely. They can try a stint as Captain Responsible, if they're the ones who introduced you to Major Stuff-Up.One of the many reasons I don't trust dating services.
Or dating. But that is another post entirely.
I've got a spy book. It's about the Navy so I think it can handle potential submersion.

What book is it, Cass? I'm always up for a good military spy story.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Maria, if it helps, that just makes me think "OMG, I have no idea what my credit score is..."
I did the hand-wavey thing for over 10 years. If I didn't know, then it couldn't be that bad. I couldn't even get a car loan at one point, but once I could qualify for a card from a company that wasn't under investigation for predatory lending practices AND had a rate less than 29.99%, I started keeping track. There's no way I'm going to let myself fall into the same trap again.
Edit: In addition to dropping points, I also seem to be dropping vowels.

Because I was in that dating pool?

Plan of Attack but please note that I *never* claimed it was actually good, just spy-ish and naval (not navel, it is really not at all introspective).
However, some of the bad bad bad terrible no good guys do seem intent on wanting to make DG go boom. So there is the meta in that at least.

Heh. See, I know it can't be nearly that bad--I got a perfectly decent car loan and all that jazz. But tracking point by point? I fear I'll miss some mythical mortgage cutoff by random bizarre minutia and wish I'd known....and yet, the energy to care still escapes me.

Heh. Reading through some Amazon reviews of stuff, I came across this:
Collections like this one are a great way to introduce people to some of the great music that's been out there, but the title 'one hit wonder' is so often fragrantly misused.
Mmmm. Smells like one-hit wonders.

Because I was in that dating pool?No. Because I don't need to be introduced to Major Stuff-Up. Bastard already is stalking me.
