Hi, PC!
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.
Spike ,'Potential'
Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
P-C, if this were a sit-com, we would be contractually obligated to tell you to lie to your mother, to create an imaginary girl-friend. Not sure which would be funnier: a fictional girl-friend who fits within your mother's specifications for your apropriate mate (other than that she didn't pick the girl out herself); or, a fictional girlfriend diametrically opposed to your mother's dreams - say, an albino slut-bomb from New Jersey. Also, there is the challenge of finding someone to pretend to be your girlfriend when your parents visit. Hopefully this will be someone you actually like, because you would then be contractually obligated to fall for this girl, forcing you to give an impassioned speach about being allowed to love whomever you choose.
P.S. You so do not suck. You are a bright, witty, compassionate, hard-working man. I'd be proud as a herd of peacocks to have a son who turned out as great as you. (I'd bet a week's pay that your mother is, but chooses not to show it for fear it would harm your character)
P.S. I miss you here too, but as I see you in other threads, don't worry too much.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey, connie!
WS, the next time she pulls that shit, I'm tempted to tell her, "You know, I might as well go and get myself a girlfriend, since it doesn't make any difference to you. I might as well get the pleasure I'm supposed to be having."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PC's mother is very specific if she's got non-albino requirements. And a bit arbitrary.

I honestly have found myself thinking at random times of the day, "I wonder how Polter is." Now I know! You've not broken anything irreplaceable, you haven't come down with a world-threatening infectious disease, and you haven't been shanghaied into a strange cult of science-writer worshipers. Because, really, you get adopted as someone's god, and then they expect you to produce rain and crops and pie on Friday.

Well, if you're going to screen for geographical origins, religion, and caste, you might as well screen for genetic flaws, too. I know I would.

"Mom, I know she's not your ideal, and she does have a few issues, but if you would just give her a chance.... You'd see that she just wants to eat your forehead too."
