Gahhh. It is so not midApril here. Too cold. However, it was nice to wake up and hear all the rain and snuggle up in bed. Except that meant I slept in waaaaay too late...didn't go eat brunch until 2pm!
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

JILLI -- I'm probably going to have a culminating activity -- Goth Poetry Day. I know, I know, but I have NO gothy kids at school, and if catering (mostly) to the stereotype gets 'em to read poetry, I'll happily do it. Can you suggest some good sites on What is Goth? Pix are great, and some toungue-in-cheek would be great! They love to be able to dress up and EMOTE.
Hmmmm. Let me do some poking around and get back to you (probably on Monday, because today is busybusybusy!)
I know there are a couple of online "goth poetry generators" which were hysterical.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Jilli, thanks so much! No hurry; they have to finish an essay on Bastard Out of Carolina before we enter, as Hec said, Bleakonia.
Hee.
Ginger, yes! I am introing with Parker's paean to pain. I love her.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
They're writing about Bastard and they're in some way not already in Bleakonia? Damn, woman, you're just the English teacher I needed at 15....

Emily, as a fan of your face for fifteen years or so now, I'm trying very hard to not be offended at this idea that your face is bland and lacking in character because your self image is not about me, but PLEASE!
Awww. Go on, you guys, say more nice stuff about my face.
Seriously, though, thanks. Maybe it's just because it's my face, you know? So it's sort of the standard for "face" in my internal glossary. Or something. In any case, y'all are very sweet.
Also, Bastard Out of Carolina? Ouch ouch ouch. Yeah, they could use some real sweet-spot angst after the real-life stupid and unromantic awfulness.

I love Bastard. If you like it, read Trash by Allison. It's a bunch of short stories, and you can see some much more authobio versions of Bastard, It's really interesting, and very good.
I have been very productive this weekend! I taught yesterday, cleaned out my work desk and organized, worked on lesson plans, mopped the kitchen floor, I have laundry in, bought salt, taken out the trash and cleaned the first layers of clutter from the living room and bedroom.
Oh, and done the dishes. And I didn't go out at all this weekend. I'm like the Queen of Virtue.
Ew. I'm gonna go have a cigarette and say "fuck" ten times, to make sure I'm living a balanced life.
