I got her out of the habit of calling me when she would call and I would be total bitchcakes to her, this past spring/summer.
I tried that at one point. It just makes my mother call back to apologize for call.
Elliot: I thought I said discreet. Gwen: What, do you see nipple?

[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.

Punishingly Intricate
My mother calls me constantly. When I was at Borders I told her she had to stop calling me or I was going to get fired. It was the only thing that made her stop.
Yikes! Have you preemptively told her you can't get personal calls at your new job?
My mom calls me at work on rare occasions but she is not the parent I have issues with. (And I'm very lucky, I know, because my issues with my dad have not been that big. He just gets on my nerves sometimes.)

Well, now I have a cellphone. I shut it off at work and get the messages from my mother when my shift ends.

Jilli, I mailed your package with the goth video collection.
Should be there in a couple days.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I just randomly checked an email address I haven't used since August.
Good thing that e from my mother was only a week old.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just got spammed by Princess Moreen Kabba of Sierra Leone! She wrote to inform me of her desire to go into business relationship with me! Isn't that sweet? She's had a hard life, apparently "While my mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special." I'm hoping there's just some unfamiliarity with English going into that one.
Sigh. It's almost a shame to delete it. I don't get much email from princesses these days.

Because books.
Are you crying at her ultra!perky blond hair, or the poncho?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Wow. I mean, shouldn't you at the very least be able to say that ponchos are functional?
