You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

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.

The after is just itchy right now. Irritated but not horrible.

Did your tattooist tell you the hot washcloth trick? Soak a washcloth in water as hot as you can stand, then wring out the washcloth and put it over your tattoo. It helps with the itching.

I can't wait to see your tattoo!

I can't even.

My buddy who has this cool medieval cross thing on his back experienced this. Plus he left potato imprints of his tattoo all over the bedding I loaned him when he and his gf crashed at my place after. You know, in school, when you use a potato to make a stamp of [image], then leave it everywhere. Yeah, we mocked him. With friends like these, blah blah ...

The status is NOT quo.

Lotion. Lots and lots of lotion. Did you pick up any of the special tattoo healing goop?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I can do a hot washcloth? Nice. Cause I am about to be wickedly pms and was realizing (lo, after the fact) that my timing suuucked. I was worried about ??? something.

It's all pretty, I think. And I really did fret on the content for long enough that I am as close to content about it as I will ever be. Heh, content on the content. I amuse me.

She rec'd Eucerin (that has got to be spelled wrong) and Lubriderm. I picked up some of .. one of them the Eucerin.

Lord knows the aftercare on my piercings always was easier and seemed to work out better when I stopped fussing, kept things very clean and just let them heal. Not that I always listened, just 20/20 hindsight.

I strongly recommend Tattoo Goo. Lubriderm is okay, but Tattoo Goo is the bestest.

Huh. Like climbing salve. If it gives me any twinge, I will hunt it down. Thanks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

P-C, does your mother have a Cafepress store?

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

Heh, ita.

So I called my mom, as there was never going to be a good time for it. And for maybe a minute or so, I was able to stand my ground and attempt to assert that no, I was not going to change my biodata, I was not going to remove the "junk" from it, but she said at this initial stage, all she needed was the education and stuff. People would look at this and think I was a joke, and you know what they say about first impressions.

And to top it all off, one of my stupid cousins in India went and tarnished our family name once again by kicking his wife and kid out of the house, so this reflects badly on me.

She said that after first contact was made, she didn't care; I could send this and she would have no problem. I brought up JZ's idea that someone could actually be looking for something different, but that's not the way our society works.

I was probably crying by this point. I can't do this. It just doesn't work. As soon as she starts talking, I lose. I try and I try and I try, but when it comes down to it, I can't do it. I'm just not built that way.

I guess I should just surrender to destiny.

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

Cass just threatened me (elsewhere) with a) TV, and b) her cats.

Huh.
