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.
So Trouble Never is not an option? I'd vote for Trouble Never.
In these particular circumstances, trouble only disappears upon death. Trouble NOW is a big problem, huge. Trouble later can be mitigated.
And in the intervening minutes, I just got the phone call: It's trouble later, which is actually the best news possible.
edited because it appears I've lost my ability to type and spell.
juliana, I'll call you when I'm done and we will figure from there?
Sounds good.
Maria, yay for trouble later? Which is weird to type.

You ain't kiddin'. The hope is that time and a changing market will turn the trouble into a boon.
I'm sorry for the cryptic, everyone.
I'm glad you got the lesser of the two evils, Maria.
I'm glad it was the best possible news, Maria.
And I'd like to find the guy who decided to build a city here cuz I have a bridge to sell him. Fool. Meanwhile, I will kiss the person who invented air conditioning. Bless the cool air coming out of the vents!
Happy Birthday, Plei.
Prospectors used to believe this area uninhabitable. they were right.
I totally envy you your current Portlandity. Will you be enjoying some Cassitude while you're there?
This sentence just makes me happy. Because Cassitude is like sassy attitude and I want to be that. With snark, because I am nothing without snark.
Nah, I think it just means I really LOOOOOVE geminis. I also have an ex and a friend (two separate people) on June 16. Etc. Etc. They're good people.
We do rock. With all of our different personalities in one. Okay, *most* of our personalities. Heaven knows that I have one or two that should never see the light of day. But most? Most are fun and good and useful.
I DO get some Cassitude, but not til Friday...and then I fly to LA Friday night!
But we've Plans for Friday. And summer weather until then so I can smile at the warm, warm sun and know it is because of meara.
It has a BIG FLAMING BOX out front ... and it always made me think of Cass, Jilli, juliana, and assorted other Buffista pyromaniacs ... and smile, thinking of how happy it would make them.
Want to see this!

Mitigation~ma, Maria! (I am all about the alliterative comfort.)

Ugh. I don't even know if I want to check Phoenix's weather. Monsoons yet or just the "dry heat"?
Hmph. Who was the wiseass who decided to build a city on top of a SWAMP? Bad move, buddy. DC is nasty today.
Uh huh. The air is so gross. And somehow, it's humid inside my apartment.
Why do I keep thinking it's Wednesday? I'm getting all confused with trying to plan my week.
Also, I'm falling into my "nothing else I need to do, might as well study" pattern. This is bad -- I get into cycles of just staring at pages until nothing makes sense, and then thinking, "well, if I stare for a little while longer, it might make sense then..." I am not going to waste my summer on this loop. Just need to find some other stuff to do. (Hmm. Sign language class starts next week. Vague plans with friend to go to trapeze school in Baltimore. Vague plans with other friend to go horseback riding. Just need to make vague plans into reality.)
Happy birthday, Plei!
Gorgeous cut, JZ, just gorgeous. I imagine it was very, very nice even without product. Just a guess.
Cassitude
See, I hardly even noticed this the first time, because it seems like such a given. Of course Portland has Cassitude. Of course.
I have new drugs. I took Advair this morning and could actually breath! I almost went to work after, even though the doctor sent me home, but since I ended up dozing most of the day, I guess it was good that I ended up following her advice. Also gave blood and had a chest x-ray.
It seems likely that these tests will come back negative, and that the only problem is that I had bronchitis that got out of hand, but I'm a teensy bit nervous and could use a little clear x-ray ~ma.
Why am I in grad school? Just need some reminders. Work lately has not been going well. I'm browsing through craigslist, and there are plenty of jobs that I was qualified for after graduating college that pay way more than a starting professor salary, which I won't even be getting for another two years.
I'm just having a fed up day.
