And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

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.

Art Crawl!!!

Aimee, I think you should send something formal, printed - not an email. Keep a copy.

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

juliana, that is amazing. Cannot wait to see it when it is finished as well.

Jilli, sending ~ma for the meeting. I hope it is taken care of with no further stress for you.

Holy shit, juliana! That is gorgeous! You are reminding me that I need to reschedule my appointment with a tattoo artist to design my tattoo, then think about getting it. Which, I’m thinking, will require an awful lot of Ativan!

Aimee, I’d like to say I’m shocked by your exboss’s behavior, but I’m not. I think you hit it on the nose—he’s hoping you’ll move and forget. Don’t.

sj, I'm sorry you're still not pleased with your hair. Glad you didn't have to pay for it, though.

Good luck, Jilli! Sending you many vibes. Let us know how it goes.

I had an absolutely lovely lunch with Nora. Thanks, babe! It was great to see you, and we had good talky meat today.

And, relatedly (although, I won’t share how it’s related :) ), I am home from spending way too much money on a pair of shoes and yarn. The shoes were desperately needed, but I spent more than I wanted to. The yarn, on the other hand, was not needed, but was on sale, and so I couldn’t resist. With the yarn, I will be making the following for peanut, the neicephew:

The main color yarn is purple, and the trim is a really beautiful, fluffy, creamy yellow. I think the rest of my day is shot for anything that does not require playing with yarn.

Uh oh. I killed the thread talking about yarn. I'm sorry! I'll stop!

Those are pretty designs, vw.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

juliana, your tat is gorgeous. I can't wait to see it when it's completed!

Jilli, all kinds of meeting ~ma headed your way.

I got an email from a school today about a great position for me teaching intro to speech, intro to theatre and ELL speech. I called the guy and left a message in order to set up an interview. Yay!

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

Ooh, that's great ChiKat! Good luck!

And HR~ma to Jilli.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Well, that was uneventful. The meeting took about 15 minutes, and boiled down to "If you don't feel comfortable telling this guy to stop contacting you, your HR rep will. Let us know."

So, off to reply to one of KindaStalker's emails with "I'm not comfortable with this level of interest. Please do not contact me again."

Hope that takes care of it, Jilli.
