Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Because books.
No earthquake here, but we are having major lake effect snow. It's still daylight, and you can't see a car coming on the road out front until you see the headlights. Total whiteout. The kids got let out early, thank god, because apparently we're getting between 3-5 inches an hour, and it's already been snowing like this for two hours.
We already had a good sixteen inches on the ground, too.

Our wings are not tired
I need to drive up to CalArts and get some contract stuff done for the class I'm teaching this semester. Have I left the house yet? No. Am I motivated to leave the house? No.
Gah! I need to get this shit done.

Punishingly Intricate
I mean, I don't LIKE small talk -- in a huge violent way -- but I *can* do it. I just vastly prefer not to. That doesn't make me an Aspie.
I guess I don't really know what is meant by "small talk". I like talking about things that other people might not think is important (say, what my boss did over the weekend) because I like hearing about people's lives.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think small talk is talk that occurs not at all for the information shared, but for the social benefits of having conversation.

I don't think I would mind small talk if I were better at it. I should get a book or something. But if the other person is good at it, I'm fine. I can follow along merrily.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Small talk is just social lubrication. The ability to maintain the conversation as a social gesture rather than talking about shit that's of mutual interest.
