Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[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.
Reading all of these first impressions, I was trying to think back to some of my own. For me, the one thing that stands out for all of my first meetings, is that I go into them scared and full of doubt, with all of my self-image demons in full force, and as soon as I meet real, live Buffistas, any trepidation goes away. I have never before felt so immediately accepted. The funny thing is, I get just as nervous whenever I'm going to meet another Buffista, but every time I actually do, it works out wonderfully.
ION, we're getting another winter storm warning. We hadn't finished with the last winter storm. I have a sneaking suspicion we're in for a lot of snow this year. The skiers should be very happy, especially after the last few years, when we got big snow dumps, which were almost immediately ruined with rain. I'm not ready for winter this year, but at least it's better than ice.
Oh my: Experiment 214, the Diet Coke-Mentos exploration continues.
Very Geeky.
Chris is old enough to play basketball?!? How is that possible?
I hear you, meara. Well, he's only 6 (and a half) and "playing" basketball might be putting it a bit too generously, but he is on a team. Some of the other kids on his team (the team is made up of 1st and 2nd graders) are really something. I feel kind of badly for Chris, because he's playing like you might expect a first time bb player to play. At six.
An undomesticated Amy. A hungry, horny, risk attracted Amy.
Not to tell tales out of school, but I'm not sure that Amy's too buried. She definitely lurks.
"How do you know about inclined planes, mommy?"
"Um. I learned about them in geometry. In tenth grade."
Ha!
For real. Seriously though, how does he know about inclined planes at age 6?

::blushing::
Oh my. I should totally fish for attention more often.
You've got some innate cool, and physical confidence.
Wow. Thos are two things I would never say about myself. Whee!
You will probably be disappointed to know that I am letting my hair grow. But only to chin length, so I can do an angled bob. I miss having hair that moves.
We were talking about you today-- I went shopping with Sparky and Suzi
::is jealous::
Did you read the first two books, Lee? You don't really have to, but the payoff of Cian and Moira is even better when you have. I am such a sucker for a brooding, tormented vampire, it's a bit sad.

This. There's a definite feeling of finding your tribe. And wherever more than one Buffista is gathered, there's a lot of love in the room. And I don't even mean porn!

I did! I seem to be all about the serial books these days.
Seriously though, how does he know about inclined planes at age 6?
We learned the phrase in fifth grade, in the list of simple machines -- inclined plane, pulley, screw ... I think there were five? Can't remember the rest. It's totally possible that he learned that list in a science lesson, or on a TV show.
t edit: lever, wheel, and wedge are the others
Lee, I just friended you on LJ, by the way. Why had I not done that before? Silly.
More recollections, since you just reminded me!
Lee = so sharp, and with that wry, knowing smile. You always look like thoughts are just clicking through your brain at warp speed.
Sparky = also wee! And so pretty, and so very, very friendly, like we'd known each other forever. And despite the weeness, as if she could totally take anyone in the room.
I'm not sure that Amy's too buried. She definitely lurks.
::winks at Cindy::
Cindy, as soon as The Fussa is not in my arms, I'll check the bob files. You should recruit Ple to the cause since her research for her cut went further afield. (Amy feel free to take notes.)

Cool! I will do the same, and thanks for telling me, because I tend not to notice such things.
