Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm never talking about names again.
Wait ... what's in a muffaletta again?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I was just going to say the same thing. In fact, I've never known a Susan who wasn't pretty, now that I think of it. I don't think it sounds 20 years older than you, either. I'm probably a half dozen years older than you though, and it was pretty popular when I was a kid. I know a lot of Susans.

Well, there were four in my class at school, so it's not like I'm the only Susan born in the 70's. But it did reach its peak of popularity in the 50's, and is now extremely rare. I've heard it referred to in naming board discussions as an "old lady name."

What is even happening?

Well, someone told me Julia was an old lady name. I just said, "You say 'old lady' like that's a bad thing.

Thrive to spite them

Mom was going to be Susan, except the woman across the street had a baby just a few months before Mom was born and named the girl Susan. My grandmother didn't want to have two Susans so close together. Then Susan and her family moved.

Several people tried to talk Mom out of my brother's first name. One uncle was dating a girl with the same name and Mom's sister had a dog with the same name. Mom told them the relationship might not last and the dog would die and when my brother was an adult no one would care about the dog or the girlfriend.

She's right.

I came close to being Michelle Leanne. I don't feel like a Michelle.

For a long time I resisted being called Ali, it rihymes with my last name and god I had enoug problems in school. However, I'm moving more toward Ali , especially with my invisible internet friends. I would do it more in my meatspace life, but then I forget.

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

Well, someone told me Julia was an old lady name.

Huh? I know a million Julias around my age, and not a single old lady one. (Though, this is also true of Emilys and Hannahs and Rachels and Lauras, all of which I've heard are supposedly old lady names.)

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

Huh.

My baby likes Paul Anka.

I'm not sure what to do with that information. Aside from make a note on her Christmas list that Rock Swings would not go unappreciated.

Ooh, I could send her this.
