Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[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.

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

Every straight woman should have at least one gay boyfriend: Who else can we go to Barbara Streisand movies with?

Huh. I seem to use mine mostly for sports.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...so I'm watching Supernatural and I'm enjoying it really quite a lot (although there's a lot of jumping and startled squeaking going on, because I am Very Jumpy Indeed), but one thing that just boggles my mind is how often the stories seem to hinge on thrill-seeking teenagers going to check out the big ol' spooky haunted building to see if there are ghosts there. Or whatever. This isn't every episode by a long chalk, and I don't mean to criticise the trope - it's just that I cannot understand people doing that. It's up there with Ouiji boards in the 'But why the hell would you DO that?' stakes for me.

I realise that YMMV, but from my POV, either (a) there are no monsters/ghosts/whatevers, in which case you are wasting your time, or (b) there are monsters/ghosts/whatevers, in which case WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WAVING A SIGN AROUND SAYING 'COME GET ME'????

::is utterly baffled::

Mind you, I'm equally baffled by people who go on Day Time Television to air their dirty laundry and call their relatives freak hos and the like. Clearly many people in this world are Not Me.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

no fair talking about vids and not providing links. I'm stuck at practice again and need to avoid homework.

BTW it is 107 here. Last practice of the summer season. The girls are supposed to wear team colors to practice. Any non-perscribed colors earn running laps. Half the team is wearing green and pink - most decidedly NOT team colors. The head coach is not here yet...

I need a gay boyfriend.

That said, let's make out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's only 105 here.

Swelter. I should go down by the water where it is always cooler, but that would mean getting dressed. It's sad when Lazy trumps Hot.

I think the possibility you are missing, Fay, is that there aren't monsters/ghosts/whatever, but if we pretend that maybe they are it's sort of thrilling to put ourselves in mock danger and show how brave we are. Maybe. I have found Supernatural to be a little too scary for me to watch at night, so, not something I personally subscribe to.

See, I grok this with, oh, watching Aliens, for example. Scary jumpy scary jumpy rollercoaster of pretending. But this stuff - I don't know, I guess I'm just astonished that so many people are apparently confident that they know everything, and that there are definitely no terrible or wonderful secrets in the universe. No Good or Evil, heaven or hell, angels or demons.

I mean, I remain sceptical about most everything, but for me the whole thing about being sceptical is the "Hey, I don't actually know everything about how the universe works, so why should I sign up to your paradigm" POV, rather than "Nah, that's all definitely total bullshit/clearly the one true reality" POV. This is my take on organised religion as well as ghosts and what have you.

Of course, into this we need to factor in the sheer terrible strength of my imagination.

(Yes, I am still scared of sharks in any body of water larger than a bath. Logic has nothing to do with this.)

I think that the whole let'sgotothespookyhauntedhouse thing is something you can only do if you really don't have a lot of imagination.

But YMMV. I think this is just something I Do Not Get. Like people voting for the Tories.

Well, you also have to factor in the stereotypical teenager attitude of Nothing Bad Can Possibly Happen to Me. Even if there are monsters they will eat someone else.

OMG. This is the truest thing in the history of true. That is why.

Okay. I get it now. Cheers.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh me too. But I also have no intention of going to the "haunted" places because why would I freaking ever want to do that??????

Ay...I have to leave for the airport in a little less than 8 hours. I am not packed, and at some point I"ll need to like, shower and stuff. But I wanna stay up and do stuff and procrastinate! Stupid 8AM flight out of an airport an hour away. Boo.

The only Russian restaurant I've been to was in Korea. Apparently it was where all the strippers (who were imported from Russia for the American soldiers) and their Russian boyfriends/bodyguards would go. Very bizarre, but probably not any MORE bizarre than the other places we ate...
