Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

When I was about 5, we lived in Germany. We lived in a compound that consisted of 10 apartment buildings in a big rectangle (seemed huge to me, but I bet I'd be surprised if I went back there). There we no gates, but sort of a clear border of the buildings. I was not supposed to go outside of the border. My friend Jill and I decided to venture out. We got out to the street, maybe about 50 feet from the border, we felt very grown up. Until my father was driving by in a military convoy, saw us, and STOPPED THE CONVOY to get out and yell at me. I'm still embarrassed.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I have no memory of me wandering off as a child. I think I was pretty happy to stay where I was, as long as I had a book and a stuffed animal to talk to.

Jilli is me.

Except when I wear jeans.

I wonder if that ended up in the official report.

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

My time was divided between reading and playing house. I think problems arose when the caretaker thought I was doing one, but I had decided to go do the other. I would play house with anything, including rocks and pebbles, so there wasn't much way of predicting where I'd do it.

Our wings are not tired.

My brother was far worse than I was about taking off. When he was 14 he hitchhiked to DC to protest the Vietnam War and came back home 4 days later reeking of tear gas. My poor mother.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I grew up with a lot of woods surrounding our 4-acre lot and not much in the way of other children to play with. I'd often wander off in to the woods with a book and a juicebox and be gone for hours.

Of course, like as not I'd be in my playhouse, treehouse, or hammock, so Mom didn't have to freak out too many times.

I actually came home from work early today (~1 pm) because the pulled muscle is in the back of my thigh, and sitting on it was a tricksy proposition, and walking was embarrassingly painful.

I intended to work the rest of the afternoon -- even brought manuscripts home -- but I took a flexiril, ate some lunch, and food + muscle relaxant = snoozin' Tep.

I think I will actually be diligent, though, and get some of the work done now, as I'm propped up on my bed in a sitting-with-my-legs-out-straight position, with an ice pack under my leg.

Yoga. Sheesh! Namaste, motherfucker.

Hmmph. Apparently Guess made the style of handbag I'm looking for. With a giant, appalling G -logo thing on the front. I suppose, since I would be epoxying a pink skull & crossbones cameo to the front of the handbag anyway, the giant appalling G isn't that big a deal. But still. Guess.

Wow, I killed the thread wurbling about handbags. Huh. Anyway, I think I like this one better than the Guess one: [link]

Teppy, I hope you have as pain-free a night as possible.
