Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[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.
Pwnd is internet slang. It is based on another popular word "ownd". Power + ownd = pwnd. And that's how you derive pwnd.
Huh. Definitely not up on what the cool kids are saying, over here.
Right. "He owns your ass" or "I own your ass, lamazoid, I win!"
See, I get that. And I've heard (and used) it. But the pwnd spelling is...confusing.
But the pwnd spelling is...confusing.
I've only seen it a few times myself, as I'm not much of a gamer. Maybe it's context sensitive, and means other things, as mentioned above. I'm willing to be enlightened.

Sounds like you'd go home with Portland.
Portland's the kind you wind up marrying, and the sex is good, too.
Totally
went home with Portland the night we met. And it's gonna be a wonderful long-term thing with good, hot sex and plenty of laughs. Also lots of time just happily curling up in front of the fire.
I just don't know what I am going to tell San Diego. Breaking up so hard... Even when you know it's the right thing.
Have you found a neighborhood/apartment you like, Cass?
Fuck.
Just checked email:
RacerGirl...needed to write and let you know that [my cousin] Brooke was taken to the ER at Scripps Chula Vista [San Diego area] and then admitted to ICU last Wednesday evening...as you know she has been suffering from cancer for the past five years or so and she can no longer stand anymore treatments...according to her oncologist she has only a few more days left and wants to go home...I will keep you aware of anything new as it comes to light...so sorry for the sad news...Racer Dad
She's battled for a long, long time.
Breast cancer about six years ago that went everywhere and, most recently, her brain. We've known that she wasn't going to win this for maybe a few months, since it got to her brain. But we thought she had more time than she obviously does.
I hope she goes as easily and painlessly as possible. Even if that means before I can get home to see her Tuesday night.
What is tearing me apart is that for the last three years or so, my step-mom has been the one who has taken her to all of her appointments and treatments. They have been very very close. This is just too much.
I hope that Brooke's sister and parents step up and take care of her last days and that Denise isn't left with that burden so soon after watching her mother die.
Sigh...
Oh, cassie. I'm so sorry. Heading out now butmy phone is on.
I actually (and yes, I am just going to put the things happening in San Diego out of my mind for a minute here) found two areas that I fell totally in thrall with.
The Hawthorne District is edgier and full of great places to eat and drink and shop and hang out. So that is Bachelor #1. It's the place to have a six month fling while I explore the city and then we can move on (or stay, it could happen) to whatever is next with no regrets.
Bachelor #2 is the Pearl District / Nob Hill / Alphabet City area. A little more highbrow and decidedly pricier but still much less than I am used to. Pearl is the old warehouse-y area that is full of great shops now and the restaurant scene. Very San Francisco-feeling but not overwhelming size-wise.
I've seen most of the city now so I might end up doing some actual place shopping over the next few days.
Actually I toured a gorgeous place today that I am feeling butterflies over. We were walking around and started talking to a construction crew. Ended up touring the place and there is a 1-bed that is smallish but wonderfully laid out. And a two-bedroom that is ginormous, and perfect and pricey. I don't know if I coud ever leave it.
And since the idea is to find someone that I can maybe move on from in six months to a year due to potential ownership... It's like picking the one thing you will order off of a menu that is full of temptation. And you can't go back every day to try something else even.
I also want to live in Powell's...
I vote that too many good choices is a good thing. As is Powell's
much -ma to you and your family
Cass, so sorry for your friend. May she find peace and happiness at the end of the road.
Portland sounds fabulous. And some of the job listings I looked at looked like they paid better there than what they would here. It's becoming a huge temptation.
sending out th ma~~ Cass.
Today - I finally seem to be feeling the no sleepness. last night I woke up 5 times in my 6 hours of sleep. I think that is asthma. I am cranky. and I had to ask DH if he was trying to drive me crazy. ( he sent an email asking me to help him with something that I no way had enough info to help him with) He didn't do it on purpose - it was ment to be more of a rant/ scream. He is just fustrated because his life is very up in the air. The good news - he'll be staying on the east coast for the beginning of next week, doing work - and possibly not going back to CT before he flys home. Also good. he has seen some of his very good friends( and mine). Bad: his family is at the driving him nuts stage. at about 4 days. which is normal, but he doesn't have me- the buffer - so I am reminding him of how to escape , from here.
Good news - they are giving his mom the good stuff to manage the pain - I am hopeing this will help her get her strenght back
Bad news:( okay more annoying) I got a letter from the unemployment office - say I was over paid. In 2002. I have zero records from that time. and it is enough money that it will make a dent.
I could have gone out tonight with the bayareaist. so glad I didn't . someone else called suggesting dinner - no phone # so I didn't call back.
I am seriously considering hermitude tomorrow.
