JZ, I've been giving my poor fried hair a break with the L'Oreal color mousses. The cherry red is pretty and bright; they have a cherry coke color, too.
Not sure if it will cover grey, but it's also cheaper than Feria, etc.; only $4.99 in MO.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Nora, your original version sounds fine to me, but if (as is likely) I'm overshare-y and Tom is right about the need to CYA, the revised version is excellent.

Nora, I think both versions work, too.
This is me, doing a drive by post to make you all jealous until this afternoon when I'll have some more time to post for real:
I have an smonster at my apartment!

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

Yeah, I think my preference for the second isn't so much that I'm convinced that you really need to CYA in this kind of situation, as the fact that I tend to be the opposite of overshare-y and even kind of "why the fuck do you need to know this, anyway?" So the "I'm coming in to talk long-term plans" emphasis of the second feels like it would be comfortable to me than the "here's what I don't like about my current job" of the first.
This is, of course, not everyone's read on these things.

We don't have a smonster, but Leif is convinced there are monsters living in the storage room.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So he WANTS to go in there, right?
It could be like a seminar for him, or a master class.
They could be recruiters, "that chocolate chip cookie recipe shows some reeeeeeel promise, kid"
You'll have agents sniffing around making all sorts of promises within the week, all the best teams trying to sign him...

Well, he wants to go into the storage room to explore, but he's afraid of the monsters so he doesn't. He's terrified of monsters and clowns.

What is even happening?
I'd take a monster over a clown, any day.

Wow, I didn't think that little fella was afraid of anything.
Oh, and my edit isn't calling him a monster but he's certainly mischeif-gifted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, he wants to go into the storage room to explore, but he's afraid of the monsters so he doesn't. He's terrified of monsters and clowns.
Tell him that the only thing that both monsters and clowns are afraid of is pirates, so if he dresses like a pirate when he goes ito the storage room he'll be safe.
