[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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I just went through 1 entire Mr. Clean Majik Eraser (abracadabra!) in my bathroom alone. This ought to be some indication of how low my standards of cleanliness are.

We ought to have a Hep Ooff. Whose house are you more likely to contract a disease at. Except while my house is filthy - and I trust that Steph has some cleaning of her own to do - I doubt there is anything actually infecting about either, just unseemly.

I think there are spots on my walls that seem lighter now that I Magicked them. This paint is all very very old. And apparently very dirty. I really am not cleaning them *all* so I will just have to be wary of my spot cleaning and not clean too deep.

Instead of cleaning, I cooked. Well, I cleaned and then I cooked and now I am eating my dessert first. Blackberries in cream. Mmmmmm. I like being a grown-up.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm am still leery of the boyfriend word. My friend tried to use it on my this weekend, and I shied like a spooked horse. 5 dates do not a a BoyF make.

We could apply the Chris Rock test. Has he met any of your friends?

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

That, of course, is the answer to my concerns about Daniel's suggestion that when the time comes to renovate the bathroom here, we replace nasty pathetic plastic surround with classy tile. Aesthetically speaking I rather like tile. Cleaning-wise? I'm a bit wary. So my question is, just how scrubbable is clear laquer?

There is a Chris Rock test? Is is that he can't be your boyfriend if he watches Chris Rock?

Nope. "If you've been going out for three months, and you haven't met any of his friends, you are not his girlfriend."

It's a good test to prove that you aren't "the girlfriend," but I think you can have been going out that long, have met friends and still not be. Perhaps I'm projecting.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

"If you've been going out for three months, and you haven't met any of his friends, you are not his girlfriend."

Huh. That explains why things ended with Sh.

It is almost midnight and I cannot sleep. This was an opportunity! for me to sleep at like 9.30! and it's just not working! no fair!
