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.
Thank you. It hurt to write.
Well, that's a pretty good indicator of why it's a damned good line. Not that one has to write in blood to be resonant or truthful, but it helps.
I'm sorry that things were so resolutely platonic with Dessert!Girl, though. If I had any useful advice, I'd certainly share it - however, the hypocricy of me giving people advice on how to pull is just too vast. My pulling technique consists of flirting madly over the phone or the internet, or after a number of beverages, when my brain hasn't had time to jump in the way, but mostly of running away when people flirt back. And quite often of running away as a pre-emptive strike when I find people attractive, before they have had the opportunity to flirt or not flirt or indeed register my existence. Alcohol has been known to lull me into forgetting to run away, but sobriety generally sharpens the RunAway!!! reflex to a razor-sharp point.
This, I have established, is A Bad Pulling Technique. Unfortunately, being quite self-conscious and shy*, I'm kind of stuck with it.
*although not about everything, obviously. I'm fairly confident about having nice hats and being quite clever, and moderately talented at acting/drawing/painting/writing, and being interested in lots of things, and doing the banter. Most of the time. But I'm profoundly not confident about a number of other things, particularly singing in public, and teh sexy.
In conclusion: Damned Good Line.
I concur, Damned Good Line.
Fay, life sounds like it's made of awesome for you! And I love the word "squeeful" and the concept of DEAR. Which is basically what I did at work Tuesday, so I could finish Bryson's book on Australia.
I've decided I want to live in Walpole. It's south of Perth, so about as far from anything as you can get, and in a part of Australia that has forests (for the moment). And it's named for a gothic author!
Raq, Is the shelf-stable stuff like the boxed milk or different?
Same stuff. UHT. Parmalat is of course the biggest brand.
And let me just state for the record that I am EXCEEDINGLY DISAPPOINTED that Parmalat apparently no longer makes their all-fat soft butter cookies with jam filling. Bastards.
I'm working on my Life List. I can cross off the Parthenon and Delphi, but I've now added the Great Barrier Reef. At the end of this year I should have checked off six of the seven Ancient Wonders of the World (ain't no one getting to Babylon). I still have never seen northen lights. What else are good Life List entries?
Antarctica. Tough, I know, but a challenge is good. Have you done Macchu Picchu? Sailing across a really big body of water, and sying 'Arr!' a lot. And this is just descending into my life list. Um, learning yoga in India?
I am simultaneously relieved and bummed. Because while it does seem I don't have to worry about her wanting to date me...I would not have been averse to more smoochies. Fie on you women and your crazy mixed-up ways.
You know, it's been a bit of a while since the last smoochie episode. Time can make a girl shy. There's every possibility she's talking to her invisible friends, fying all over you, because you didn't kiss her and make her feel worth kissing.
Oooh! Life Lists! Cool notion. Hmm. (And I'm terribly impressed that Raq's done 6 of them. What are the 7 wonders of the Ancient World again?
...er..
Collosus of Rhodes, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at somewhere or other, Statue of Nike (?Or possibly some other goddess...) at somewhere or other, the Mausoleum, the Lighthouse of Pharos (possibly) and...er...I want to say the Pyramids of Giza, but I don't know if it's so. Hmm.
...No, I'm going to have to go and check out the interpipe for this, aren't I? And there's no time right now. Grr.
I touched a bit of the original Mausoleum once, when I was in the cellars at The British Museum. Even though you're not supposed to. Because I am nawty. But I've still not made it outside the airport in Athens, so the rest of the Greek wonders, not so much with the visiting.
Hmm.
Still want to:
- figure out this Pulling Thing
- visit newly-discovered Pyramid in (iirc) Croatia
- See dolphins & whales in the wild
...and a bunch of other stuff. But now Grade One needs to go to recess.
Life List...

ION, Toto has decided that it's playtime--with his noisiest toy, I might add. I'm sure Not!Emily an his girlfriend, who are sleeping, just LOVE that.
I have come to the part of the day where I must get in the shower and out the door. And, once again, I don't wanna! So predictable.
Did you sleep last night, vw?
I have no life list. Well, I'm sure I do, but I can't think of it, right now.
I DID! Two glorious nights in a row. I almost feel human today.
Must celebrate by getting my ass in the shower and out the door.
Yes! Woo hoo! And you know, getting out every day ought to help with the sleepage, a little.
Yeah...it will. I need to try to keep as normal of a routine as possible. Yesterday, I gave in and took some naps, but that's ok, as long as I don't do it every day.
And off I go!
