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.
Oh, and my prego sis is in the hospital. I don't know whether to wish for ~ma that she's okay for the soon-to-be-twins or some calming so the doctors and nurses don't stab her with a spoon. She seems fine now but has to stay over at least one more night for random testing.
Wishing for both is probably the best course. When is her due date, Cass?
Also, and apropos of nothing, you are "Cass" to me. I know your real name, and I try to use it in e-mail (although I think I switched back to Cass, by accident, the other day), but you're Cass. It's sort of a funny thing. Similarly, Trudy is "Trudy" to me, even though I know her real name.
I kill myself to not call Cashmere by her first name here, or vw bug (whose first name I typed and then deleted WHEN I was meaning to use her board name, right there) by their first names. I have to remind myself to use Plei's lj name in LJ, ditto for Deena, because I have some recollection of them not wanting their first names associated with their LJs.
Craziest of all, if Lee is using Perkins, I always start to call her Lee. If she's using Lee, I always start to call her Perkins. I have also had the hardest time sticking to thessaly (and/or her LJ name) since I met her in person.
That is all.

The same goes with me. The name really fits her.
Cindy, you are Cindy.
Aw, man! I was all set to visit Portland, too! pout
That'll teach you to mock... And it was an *accident*, I tell you.
The doctors and nurses don't get to spork her regardless of 'tude.
Do they get hazard pay though? Cause she can be ten different kinds of evil...
When is her due date, Cass?
mid-November. She's at 32 weeks now. And they are each just over 4 pounds. Frankly, she needs to keep baking them.
Also, and apropos of nothing,
Happens to me all of the time. Even with people I know really well.
I have trouble with people for whom a board name is just a board name, because I sometimes use it. If it works as a nick as well? Then I can play it off more easily.
As for the "Cass," I actually answer to it now. In the real world, on the phone, in e or IM... It's a nick that I have grown to embrace.
Just got sprayed for
spiders
(the place, not me) and vaguely met the new neighbor. I was just at the beginning of a nap though so I am going back to that soon.
Raining, fire dying, Cass snooze-y...
The same goes with me. The name really fits her.
Aw, thanks PC.
There are, frankly, just too many peope with my IRL first name (including the prego step-sis) so having a name of *my* own, I like it.
Problem with my real name is that it's so common and already taken by another poster with a lot more time than I have. Hence my deference. Plus, I got used to using this one as a bronzer so it was just easier for me to use this everywhere.
I'm completely embarrassed to admit that despite having met and hung out with Cass several times, and harboring an un-secret desire to set her up with my Portland brother because both he and she are made of awesome, I cannot for the life of me remember her RL name. Cass is just such a damn perfect name, and Cass herself is so full of Cassitude.
Bleah. I feel like a big ungrateful cow... while I was out on bedrest, someone from another division transcribed a month's worth of letters for a doctor I usually work for, who has joint appointments in two divisions. It was very helpful of her to do the transcription, and obviously it saved me a lot of work, but I couldn't manage to choke out more than a very small "Thank you" because she has completely ballsed up the processing of all the letters.
She transcribed them a while ago but didn't actually print them up until this afternoon, at which point I'd been back at work almost a week, then dropped the "finished" letters in my lap almost an hour ago. I'm not quite done actually finishing them. Grrr. If she'd just printed them and handed them to me for processing -- or, better yet, emailed me the files and let me do all the printing -- or, at the very least, ASKED ME WHAT THE DISTRIBUTION PROCESS IS BEFORE HARING OFF ON HER OWN -- I could've done it myself, properly, in about half the time.
As it is, I've wasted almost an hour undoing a bunch of shit she did and redoing a bunch of other shit that she completely ignored (most of it stuff she wouldn't have known about without asking, but some of which she could have figured out on her own if she'd, say, actually
looked
at the files she was working from). And now I feel like a fat snarly cunt dripping with ingratitude.
I was so not cut out to work with other humans.
eta: Forgot to add, Cass, vibing for your sister and the twins.

Heh. Cindy's bit--I seriously had to pause and go "Wait, Cashmere's not her real name? Do I know her real name? Shit...oh, right, that's it". I never ever think of her as anything but Cashmere. Or maybe Cash. Likewise Cass...
It's very disconcerting to me the people I know like, say, Vortex--she's Vortex here, something completely different on LJ, and then I've known her in person for years by a whole other name. Madness!
That said, I answer to meara, Indy (my drag name) or my real name.
Do they get hazard pay though? Cause she can be ten different kinds of evil...
Ooooh! List 'em! List 'em!
I go by my real name here, but an entirely different name on LJ (I want to keep at least a thin layer of anonymity over there, since that's where I post fic and do other fannish things). What's funny is that most of my anime fandom friends will call me by that name, and I'm all "who the hell are you talking about?... oh."
