Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen  

[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.

What is even happening?

Or at least, I don't, because in my own idiom this is a tank top.

I think that's a pull-over.

I'd call that a sweater vest.

Plei, Fay's waistcoat is also called a waistcoat here, if it's formalwear, isn't it, or have I just read too many British novels?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Cindy's nouns are my nouns.

Still want bed and chocolate. And good Xander fic. Any recommendations? (I loved Victor's Converstation with a Monster.) eta: Also, I prefer non-slashy stuff.

I've had a headache all day. Do you think eating chocolate and being in Fay and ChiKat's bunk would help make it go away?

Sail - I'll give it a try and report back.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Way to take one for the team, Suzi.

coughgreedycough.

Damn straight. I've had this @()*#&@# headache for 4 days now.

I have actually made a doctor's appt for tomorrow about it. Hopefully just making the appt will scare it away.

So, I just told my dad that I joined Match.com, since his "solution" to my current potential living situation is that I should get married. He got a little too excited. I knew there was a reason I wasn't going to tell them about that.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yes, Jen, I am a "Wire" *fiend* who's been counting down to the new season for months. Fair warning though: The Wire is even more love-it-or-hate-it than Homicide and the arcs are long. You will either think it's brilliant or like watching paint dry. There is no middle ground. Except for the ep named "Middle Ground" which got an emmy nomination.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Um. Don't you need to find a solution in, like, 90 days? Unless you are going to marry Emily (and listen to me, honey -- smart, pretty, mathy, helps with the dishes and fusses lovingly over you when you're feeling low: you could do a lot worse), I don't think Match.com is quite the solution you need.

Of course, dads get slightly craxy about all that grown-up daughter stuff. Last weekend my dad's girlfriend pulled me aside and told me sotto voce that for the past three years running she'd had to talk my dad out of giving us kids baby clothes as Christmas presents. His idea of a gentle yet witty hint. @@

Yup. I explained, gently, that we would have to go with the "expidited" relationship, which I'm just not willing to settle for :).

Parents. Can't live with 'em. Can't live without 'em.
