There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I mean, I'm pretty sure Hec and I baffle each other over our reading tastes and how we express them, and maybe even think the other's taste is inferior to our own, but I don't feel like that means we have to stop talking about what books we like and dislike and why.
You think my taste is inferior!?!
Just kidding.
For the record, I'm fine with Dylan decrying the trend of male names being gobbled up as female names, leaving a smaller and smaller pool of boy names (at least by cultural association). And I'm also fine with Jessica naming her future sprog Dylan no matter what the gender.
And I have achieved this zenlike equanimity through meditation vodka.

lost to women? What's next, sapping your manly humors? Giving you cooties?
Don't even get me started about cooties. Now that I have two women in the house I'm getting daily cootie shots.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
Heh. I have nephew Ryan and a female cousin Ryanne. There's a slight emphasis on the "anne" part of the name, so it is possible to tell just who the family is talking about. It drove me nuts when I was married to a man named Mike and having a brother Mike, because I always had to specify which Mike I was speaking about. In the long run, duplicate names are duplicate names, whether it's directed at a male or a female. I still remember having a Health class with 5 Debbies in it. Oy.

anyone who wants to change my mind can feel free to bite me.
Hmm... can we go ahead and schedule this? I'm pretty well busy through the end of February, but things start to open up in March.

I should note that my brothers are Ryan and Evan, so my poor mother is watching her ahead-of-her-time boys names switch genders.

Well, to me it's a separate issue, but if I feel the need to go through the Susan Theory of Names, I'll take it LiveJournal. The simplistic version is that I wanted to give my child a non-androgynous name because my dad was named Kelly and my husband is named Dylan, and I wanted to give her an uncommon name because there were four Susans in my high school class of ~120, four Susans in my college Christian fellowship group of about the same size, two Susan-Jennifer roommate pairs on one short hallway in my dorm junior year, and I'm one of two Susans in my five-member critique group. (The other writer-Susan is the only one I know who's younger than me--all the others I've met are my age or older.)
