You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's not quite the same thing, though. I don't think I'll ever run the risk of a guy cutting his hands off.

But you could date a lean guy who became buff, or a guy whose love handles you loved who lost them -- as women we have a lot more "optional" bits, but still. I think as humans we can get attached to stuff.

It's off to get attached to things before you even meet someone, and then miss it when they lose it (or suggest that they gain it, to make you happy) -- that definitely bugs me. But plain enjoying what's there, and missing it when it's gone -- well, I have insisted a guy grow back a beard, and I don't feel slightly bad about it. He wasn't that attached to the barefaced look, so it wasn't a struggle.

And I do so like a guy in a goofy half-ponytail, even when I know it isn't the most flattering cut. It makes me smile. I like smiling. I like when hot guys make me smile.

I just don't ask them to keep doing so on my behalf.

Always Anti-fascist!

God, still can't get over the chick on Dr. Phil that won't give blow jobs and calls it disgusting. Admittedly, she probably didn't grow up thinking she was a sexual cypher and then find out that her mouth, yes, that one, could do *that*. I have a powerful connection to that practice.(My mom would hate it if I told Dr. Phil, though.) But if you love him, don't you love his dick?

Art Crawl!!!

I am so pissed off right now.

I was supposed to go to a lovely lunch but one of our professional staff members sent our student worker off to an event without giving any notice so I had to cancel my reservation with less than 10 minutes to go and I'm just so angry.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I have to work really hard to not point out that my hair isn't All About Her.

Maybe that's one of the places where you don't need to work so hard. I mean really, what would it hurt to say that?

True, but it's not even worth it.

I dated a guy who absolutely did not want a blow job. (He had issues. Oh boy, did he EVER have issues.)

I feel like devil's advocate girl today -- I'm sure it's the migraine and the lack of cocoa talking -- but there may be guys using similar lines to justify a dirty sanchez or something else I consider outside my own personal portfolio. Most of us have boundaries. Most of us don't love every cell of our partner's body or excreta thereof to do everything with it. It's her and her boyfriends problems where her line falls.

Punishingly Intricate

I have no problem with people having physical attribute preferences (umm...except when somebody I like doesn't prefer ME) but I wonder if some of the guys who say they don't want their wife/girlfriend's hair to be short don't really want it to be long because they dig long hair but because they worry about what being with a short-haired womans says about them .

Like they don't want other people to think that their woman is real butch or something. (Not that I think AT ALL that short hair = butch. Just that some of these dudes might.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I know plenty of women who have mustache/beard issues and much prefer men with/without. It's the guy's face, but they are the one's looking at it. I don't want someone telling me how to look, but I understand that certain style choices may be real hot buttons. If the BF grew one of those goofy Amish beards with no mustaches, I would find him less sexy. If he asked, I would say so.
