I'll keep it in mind in the future that's it's easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm with most of you...Discussion good, manipulation bad.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I doubt that was the rationale in this case. I'm guessing it was a lapse in judgment rather than a deliberate attempt to manipulate.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh Anne, since you're here.....
Damn you, you crack supplier. I managed to avoid the lure of manga and anime until you, my dear, recommended Bleach. Now I'm sucked in. Thoroughly and completely. To the point of contemplating the purchase of volumes.
What color toaster do you want?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Trudy, can you correct my spelling in your tag? Because, swear to donkey, I can spell Tijuana correctly (even if I never do) sometimes. KThxByeBBQ!
I WILL talk about the boy more, see if I won't! Ask Debet and Cassie, this can go on and on and on...::settles in for the long winter::
You were saying?

I think I have to stop being so annoyed by the whole Danicamania thing. I mean, she's a chick in a car and decently good. And people got interested. So the coverage was all Danica, all the fucking time. It bugged me.
Now Juan Pablo Montoya is going from winning the Indy 500 and open wheel championships in the U.S. to Formula One and winning the World Championship there to NASCAR. So he ran his first race today in a lower series (ARCA) and I am watching it. Pretty much only because he is there. And I am appreciating the coverage. He led the first several laps and is second now, so the coverage is warranted to a degree but I feel the need to say a few Hail Marios and figure out what a racing act of contrition would entail because I am all over this Juanmania even though I should think it is wrong.
Oh, and they interviewed him yesterday and he is learning NASCARspeak. So freaking cute in his Columbian accent with naming all the sponsors and all.
I have felt awful for several days. So tired of this. Headache should really go away cause it is the worst of it and I can't tell if I am sick, depressed or both. Well, I know I am not *just* depressed but I can't really figure out how to carve up the blame and, in theory, try to get better. Stupid body. Migraines, PMS, IBS and general aching are just kicking my ass entirely.
Do I feel isolated and turn to the internet for like-minded friends or is the 'net sort of perpetuating my sense of isolation. If I find what I need here, why should I reach out more in meat space to find people to talk to? I honestly could not answer those questions.I couldn't answer them either.
vw, I'm glad you said what was going on AND apologized.This. The opportunity was there to just not say anything.
I wasn't around for the conversation so I can't really say how / if I would have responded. I can pretend to guess but I can't know.

I'm thinking of doing up my kitchen in red and chrome. Did I happen to mention that?
I'd love to know what sucked you in, btw. I remember getting pulled in very quickly myself. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this series (eventually) filled the fandom void left by the passing of the Mutant Enemy shows.

I'm thinking of doing up my kitchen in red and chrome. Did I happen to mention that?So I suppose an old school chrome toaster (with all the modern buttons, of course) would not look out of place. Will this do? [link]
I wanna know what happens, damnit. CN is only up to Episode 5.
Edit: What sucked me in? The Hollows being former restless souls. And the snark.

Oh, that's lovely. Very lovely.
The print version and the animated version follow each other quite closely, and they're pretty far along in the print translation if you want to get a jump on the story. I do recommend going out of your way to avoid spoilers, because there are some marvelous HSQ moments ahead.

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

Hee. I have no idea what Bleach is, but it looks like we're both hooked on anime lately! Mine's an American anime, though: Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's very fun. And Nickelodeon isn't giving me enough episodes a week, dammit!
