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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
sj, you and TCG should cook fish the night before. If the smell of cookies baking is supposed to help sell a place, then I say day-old-fish smell should repel them.
Good idea! I'm not doing a big super cleaning again. I'll make the bed and straighten up a bit, but that's it. I just had my teeth drilled and I am not a morning person, so it's not happening.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
OK!! I have clarification!
It was her son that was wonky! Apparantly, in Northern Michigan, you get more "emo" cred if you are a cutter. His little girlfriend and her friends all brag about how much they cut and "Oh woe! I neeeeeed to feel paaaaaain to be Gothy and sad - like." Her son and his friends use the terms "cutter" and "emo" interchangably. I told her, "Nuh and Uh. Being a cutter has nothing to do with being Goth or Emo. It has everything to do with a) deep seated emotional issues or b) trying to get "cred". If she did it or talked to a Real Goth about it, they would send her running to a therapist and/or the hospital." She said, "Thanks. Good to know." I also said, "Here is my friend's website. True goth. You will learn things and give it to him."
Then she hung up the phone on me while screaming his name to "get his ass down here."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I found that speech earlier, and thought it sounded like the one -- only it doesn't have that quote anywhere in it. Your prof should google more carefully before giving silly paper topics!

I was waiting for you and/or Rick to come around and back me up.
Yes, two weeks is short because there are committees to meet and professors to herd and deans to consult. It's a system built for freedom of creative expression, not for efficiency, so it can be crazy making if you want something to just get done.

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

Bwah!
"If she did it or talked to a Real Goth about it, they would send her running to a therapist and/or the hospital."
That is for damn sure. (And thank you for mentioning GCS!)

We have spoken and what we have said is: Listen to Nora, for she is very wise and very beautiful.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
It sounds to me like Aimee's friend's son is throwing around terms he doesn't know the meaning of and then snowing his mother into thinking he's got arcane knowledge rather than ignorance.
I and my friends would do this very thing from time to time. And not to hide ignorance, but to baffle mothers as to the things we were actually out doing.
Then she hung up the phone on me while screaming his name to "get his ass down here."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That's not nice. I shouldn't have laughed at that. I'm going to Special Hell.
