Ow, Kristin. That sounds like no fun. Perhaps drugs will help you last until the chiro? Do you have a muscle relaxer?
I got stupid. The money was too good.

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Fuck the muscle relaxer; go for the Vicodin. Or two-fist it. Yeoch!
Tep, LOVE the tat! It's beautiful!
Also, I am ridiculously pleased with myself, cause I just came up with a great final project for the self-selected books my Appreciation of Lit class are reading:
Pimp My Book!
You know how it goes – your ride may get you where you want to go, but it doesn’t catch any eyes, make anyone say “Hey!” when you drive past. So what do you do? You call PIMP MY RIDE and they trick your car out, and make it an eyecatcher.
Books can be like that old, reliable, but boring car; you know it’s a good book, but maybe it’s catching no one’s attention.
Your job:
Pimp Your Book!
The final project for your first book in Appreciation of Literature makes you have to sell the book to a group of teachers – they need a new book to teach next year in their high school English class at AV, and you are going to have to sell your book to them – you know, pimp out your book! You are going to be collecting information you will use in your final sales pitch throughout the reading of your book, in your responses and other assignments.
• Book cover
• Plot summary
• Setting Description
• Character Biographies and Photos/Illustrations
• Themes
• Selling points to make kids want to read it, and teachers want to teach it
• Cautions for teachers (sex, violence, language, racism)
• Memorable Quotes (4)
• A review from a reputable critic
• Short persuasive paragraph
Then, you’re gonna have to get creative. Down and dirty – you’re playing to win. How are you going to present all this information to your prospective buyers – how are you gonna trick out your book, out of all the books everyone’s reading in this class, and make sure your sales pitch SHINES?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Love the pimp idea, Erin.
I can't see Aimee's picture either.

Sorry about that. I hate Yahoos new photos thing. If I'm putting a picture in a public folder, then the damn picture is public.
It's fixed now.
