A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.  

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's weird and cool, isn't it, Aimée?

It's like those optical illusion pictures. I can't stop staring at it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Emily doesn't want our bookcase - do you?

Yes! I have no bookcases. It is sad. Also, Matt said maybe you had a microwave you might want to get rid of?

Also, those camel-shaped shadows are AWESOME.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

They used to be delicious, Cindy. But they started breeding for looks alone.

When I was child, walking to school through 5 miles of foot deep snow, Red Delicious were delicious. Crisp and sweet. A sinecure for what ailed you. An apple a day kept the doctor away for years! But then, as Cash said, they bred for beauty, for the apple that the witch gave Snow White, a seduction of surface with poison and bitterness at its heart.

I'm waiting for them to rename it the Par-is Delicious.

My current favorite is the Gala. I used to like Cortlands (when they came from my grandfather's orchard), but the ones I get in the grocery stores are all mush, today.

My grandmother had a crabapple tree in her back yard. By the end of fall, the little apples would start to get a bit...fermenty.

Not that we ever ate them - you could tell by the way the squirrels and birds would be lurching around the yard.

Thrive to spite them

All this apple talk makes me wish Christmas would come faster. Every year Dad gives people gift pack of a selection of apples. I don't know the name of the company but he gets a variety pack of unusual apples that you dont' find in the grocery store.

My fave apple is the Pink Lady!
