See? I'm so pissed off I'm stuttering.

I think I want to go as an Amy Brown fairy to the next Con.

Pete will disown you. If you want to go as a fairy, pick an artist who isn't quite so obviously ripping off inspired by other artists.

Or, to put it another way, find a fairy artist with an ounce of talent, and they'll still have an ounce more than Amy Brown.

Really.

I frikkin' hate her 8th grade fucking images. Absolutely talentless, pandering, creatively-bankrupt, gag-inducing, technically-flawed SHITE.

Yes, you may have spotted, I'm not a fan.

Her name is Amy!!

And that's the only thing she's got going for her.

YMMV. Grr.

Well I wouldn't call it sexual but yes it's true that it's harassment if I ask him to stop and he doesn't. I don't know why I'm hesitant to take it to the next level. I suppose I could be up front with him and let him know that it's my next step.

yay! I'm not the only procrastinator in the room. Hmmm, maybe I should try the invite people over to motivate cleaning. I typically avoid inviting folks over cuz the place is so bad.

Laga, dude! Write him up. File a complaint. At least let it be known what he is doing is wrong. If he keeps going "is this offensive" reply with "if you have to ask, the answer is yes"

t stands with KristinT to defend Laga!

oh wanna know the best part? He's a scout leader.

That settles it. He's definitely a pervert.

Noooo! I like perverts.

Aimee, that sucks a lot. I'm sorry.

JZ and juliana, if you are inclined to cross the bridge, I'm having a Chocolate Party on Saturday night. Lots of Ghirardelli chocolate to eat, here.

I'm hearing Glinda the Good Witch say, "Well, Laga, there are Good Perverts and there are Bad Perverts."

Now today he was telling a terrible personal anecdote about something that happened to him in Taiwan

Is this a sexually inappropriate terrible something? Or - can I ask what it was that you found distressing about the anecdote, the better to understand the situation? (You needn't say if it makes you uncomfortable to recount - I'm not clear on whether it's the details of the story per se or the context in which you were hearing it and from whom that constituted the discomfort.)

I'm hearing Glinda the Good Witch say,

YES!

Oh, dear. I had a wee reminder of the fact that Most People Aren't Bitches in the staffroom today, when I was trying to adequately describe the sheer sinful exquisite wicked gloriousness of the chocolate fountain (a) as a concept, (b) in practice and (c) AS A PRESENT SANTA BROUGHT TO MY HOUSE!!!! (Go Team Santa!) and I said, flailing in glassy-eyed rapture at the recollection of strawberries dipped in molten chocolate "It was like porn!"

....

....

tumbleweeds. Then wry/embarrassed/amused "gosh, well, that's not really something I'd know about, but, you know, whatever [affable eyeroll]" type response from the people I was talking to.

A few moments later there was a Great Cookie Debate as to whether soft gooey just-baked cookies or crunchie-but-with-melt-in-the-mouth-chocolate-chips type cookies were the One True Cookie, and I said that in matters of cookies I was very equal opportunity, and swung both ways. See previous response, only more of a "gosh! Well! Ha ha! Now we know that you like porn AND you're a swinger! Ha ha!" And I thought about it, and nearly said "Yes, and yes"...but didn't. Because apparently I'm a bit of a wuss.

....aaand now I want cookies. Fuck.
