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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, here are some pictures of the Chicago F2F (Friday only): [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think my first Buffista meeting involved ND's sidekick being passed around the table, so there are posts documenting the event. Aimee and Joe were both charming and gracious and funny. I think the three of them were able to prevent my not-so-outgoing personality from making the whole thing awkward. I think Aimee was taller than I expected.

At last to guess, instead of always knowing.
Dear 'Ffistas, I know you all know this, but as a long time lurker I'd just like to take this slightly-tipsy opportunity to be all creepy-stalker-like and reiterate how wonderful and beautiful and snarky and genre-specific and all-inclusive and generally fab you all are, with your on-board chattings and sharings and lives -- and, more particularly right now, your RL celebrations of person and group and each other and shit.
All this first impressions talk makes me wish I had delurked so much earlier. I wasted years (yes, years) being shy.
SuziQ says it for me -- I did delurk briefly once before, and you were all briefly very nice to me -- but I do hope it's not too late and one day you can all tell me what a giant spazz you thought I was upon first impressions...

Welcome, Shambles! I love your name, by the way. I hope you stay delurked so we can get to know you a bit better.
Timelies, all! I slept 15 hours last night. It felt like heaven. I guess I really needed it. Hopefully, this means I'll have more energy and motivation today.

How did I miss that? Guess either I haven't had enough coffee, or I was just caught skimming!
Gris, thessaly and EllenS were also at that event, I think.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
one day you can all tell me what a giant spazz you thought I was upon first impressions...Hi, Shambles. If you are a spazz, I bet you are a cute spazz.

Hey. New board.
it was Emily, not Erin...
Ah! Of course it was! My original post that never got posted totally has that right (I just discovered it in a defunct tab, actually). This is what happens when I post after drinking a bottle of wine.
Sorry!

tommy, those are great pictures. Did you guys have a competition for who could eat the most candy off someone else's neck? I think I would have died of sugar shock by the end of the night! Also, now I have got to get a corset. So many foamy people in corsets! And they make everyone look so skinny and have a waist and shit.
