Spike: Taking up smoking, are you? Harmony: I am a villain, Spike. Hello!

Spike/Harm ,'Help'


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.

Because books.

Is that strange, to be happy that one has no meatspace friends?

I have meatspace friends I've known since high school (actually, junior high in some cases) but a lot of what keeps us together is history. But none of them watched BtVS, for instance, or even know what slash is. They would raise their eyebrows at the idea of wearing a tiara, and they don't, for the most part (sob) read. I think cyberspace makes finding like-minded people easier, because you're casting such a wide net, but you can also be so specific -- one post about Spike, or fanfic, or a particular brand of shoes, or whatever, and you're automatically on a wavelength.

The Internet, she is a good thing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

My ex-the-doctor and I decided all of these type recipes fell into the category of Cooking With Soup, which by our reckoning was one of the few universal constants defining the American working class (from which we both sprang).

DH and I have talked about throwing an Iron Chef White Trash party, theme ingredient cream of mushroom soup or maybe velveeta.

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

I love my invisible friends, but without meatspace I'd go insane. Krav is marvellous, because it's like a rotating buffet of people. Some familiar, some becoming more familiar, some fading away -- the amount of interaction over a three year period has been amazing.

Of course, I also like going to places where I don't know people, so there's that.

All that, and yet still a misanthrope. It's a balancing act.

How do you get to Charles River Plaza?

Regular route: walk out of North Station, take a right, walk up to Cambridge Street and take another right. Walk two blocks and it's right there set back from the street (there's a brand new shiny building where the parking garagette for the Plaza used to be). It's kitty corner from a CVS.

Sneaky way. Same directions, but take a right on the street just before Cambridge Street (you'll pass a bunch of mailboxes on one side). Walk down to the elbow of that street, and there's an alley way/walkway that comes out between the Whole Foods and the CVS.

I'm not 100% that sneaky route still works after all the construction, but when I passed by there on the other side of Cambridge street yesterday, it looked like the Whole Foods was open and that that walkway was still accessible.

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

Popping in to say thank you to Deena for making the Bitchlist a reality.

Calli, I'm so happy for you. I'll still keep fingers and toes crossed for your mother.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

What's the best way to clean makeup brushes? Specifially, a foundation brush?

Yep. Sorry, just thought that was assumed.

one more question: you take a right, and keep going straight? I usually take a right and then jig left to go where the parking lot entrance is to catch the EZRide shuttle.

(sorry to bore the thread, I'm just trying to picture it in my head!)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What's the best way to clean makeup brushes? Specifially, a foundation brush?

I run sooper hot water through it and then cleanse it with either my face wash or hand soap.
