So, today during a break, a classmate approached me and asked me out. He said I seemed cool and was cute and he was adorably nervous. We got lunch after class. I think I'm in some sort of bizarro world. I was asked out once in middle school, never in high school, and never in 2 years of college. Last month a different guy asked me out. (Didn't work out). I could get used to this bizarro world.

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.

Card is good. Who would we send the money to in order to contribute to it? Perkins, as point, would you be willing to collect the dough?
We wouldn't put up the money now. She and H could register for the things they want and then we'd buy them and send them to the new place.
And, as much as a big outing sounds great it could really be too much. It could be awesome to plan and everything, but the day of might be one where she just needs to lie around and cry. It's real easy to get overwhelmed, even by happy things.
I'm going to strongly suggest little, easily cancelled, lunches and visits for now for that reason. I don't want to claim 'complete expert,' and of course everyone has their own psyche... but odds are solid that I'm right.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Go Mel! Sounds like the good kind of bizarro.

Morning, All.

Yes, this. Would that this bizarro should rub off on me. Wait, my class this semester is online, could make things problematic...
So, how was lunch?

Probably best to ask -t what she feels up for, eh? Yeah, it is easy to get overwhelmed in this kind of situation. Still, I'm just thinking it would be nice to collect money now and present the card to her at some time. That way, we don't have to pick and choose what she might like out of the things she registers for, she can just get them outright and shop when she's ready. That way, nothing is sitting around taking up space or needing to be shipped, etc.

Noted. We will treat her gently.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Lunch was good. Went to Subway and talked. He wants to get together again. He's a geek too so there's that in common. I guess my new gothier look is working for me. I haven't had a close friend since the 7th grade so I'm not too god with conversations. (I'm way too shy). He told me it added to my charm.

Whatever we do is cool, of course. I just originally proposed the idea as a shower is all. Heavens knows we talk about them enough and it just seemed like a nice way to warm her new home. She and H could pick things at their leisure and then, at their say so, we could send them along to their new place.

What is even happening?

This. And they might just need money to get by--eat, pay student loans, etc.. We've got to figure -t's out of work for the foreseeable future. If her place of employment was destroyed, she might not have any income coming in, even if Henry will/might. We don't know where or when they'll land. They'll be starting completely over, not just with housing and home goods, but everything--clothes, you name it. Shipping is an added expense. It might be a good idea to make this a cash type of gift.
