'Out Of Gas'


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.

We tried to go out to dinner.

Poor you guys!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Poor you guys!

Nah, we're good. We just had to fall back to Plan B. It happens. It was nice just getting out of the house all together, even if it was just for a ride.

While we were downtown, we ran into a friend Christopher works with that I hadn't seen in ages, so it was nice to say hi to him.

What is even happening?

Oh, Cashmere. That place sounds like a nightmare with kids. I'm sorry you didn't get your dinner out, but a little less sorry, because it would have been there.

How are you doing, Miss bug?

IOmemeN, my grandfather is taking me out to dinner tonight, because Mom and stepdad are on vacation, and I usually eat with them on Wednesdays. He's so sweet.

That is so sweet, sj. Everyone should have grandparents like this. I miss mine (not in an I-need-hairpats way -- just in an I'm-glad-I-had-them way).

How are you doing, Miss bug?

I'm here. I'm exhausted and dreading this.

I'm so sorry you're dreading it. I'm so proud of you for going through with it, despite the dread. How are you getting to your eval? What time are you leaving?

How are you getting to your eval?

Nutty is taking me.

What time are you leaving?

8:15.

I think if we'd have tried to wait there, I might have some insight into your panic attacks. I'm glad we left when we did. But the people waiting cooed over the kids. Liv was wearing a cap a friend knitted for her and she looked like a mini Esther Williams.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sorry about the dread, vw. Hope this is helpful for you in the long run, and not as bad as you dread immediately.

what is freezing fog?

It sounds super freaky, is what it sounds like...

Glad y'all liked the pictures! I'm trying to decide which ones (there are more he hasn't shown me yet) to ask Allix if I can have--he's willing ot let us have some, but I don't want to be too greedy. OTOH, I want them in decent digital form, so I can choose how to print them in the future, if I want.

I'm hoping to catch up on Veronica Mars (last week AND this week!) tomorrow--I'm "working from home" because I've got a horrible cough. So I figure while I eat lunch, I can watch some TV...(I do have *actual* work to do, too)

HI SA!! I MISS YOU!!

Guiness MARMITE? That's...I can't even imagine what that tastes like.

and if making pregnancy tests (because I bet it's the argument with women who haven't had dicksex that makes for the most disgruntlement) a standard part of the procedure would work better.

On the one hand, college students are stupid. On the other hand, if I'm only having sex with women, or not having sex at all, I'd be REALLY peeved at spending $40 for a pregnancy test. Yeesh. Plus, that's pretty expensive! I couldnt' run down the street and buy a test at the CVS??

How to say "the bus station isn't in the greatest part of town" without scaring parents?

Are you saying "Don't use the bus" or saying "be careful" or...? Becuase if you're saying don't use the bus, I think that saying it's not the greatest part of town is fine. If you're saying be careful, maybe you could couch some of it in "this is a big city" kinda terms? (Ooh, "difficult to get a taxi" is a good one)
