Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

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

I'm pathetic on the subject of 80s videos. I blame it on not getting cable until I was already in my pointlessly angry middle-class suburban punk phase. Thanks a lot, mom and dad!!! Thanks a whole fuckin' lot!!!!

(In other news, have just discovered OMG SO GOOD THAI FOOD so much closer than any other her decent Thai food in the area. And OMG SO MUCH BETTER TOO.)

What's your favorite 80s video?

Y'know, I have no idea. I think I'm overwhelmed by choice & hindered by a crappy memory.

Off the top of my head, I always loved 'Dominion' by The Sisters of Mercy. Andrew Eldritch + white sword + sword cane + never before seen on film portions of Jordan (?) = Trés Cool.

Though Visage's 'Fade to Gray' was a landmark piece that has always stuck in my mind.

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

It's fast acting (I swear mine kicks in within 20 minutes)

IIRC, that's what it's designed to do. I know that's why my doc gave me that *and* a Valium scrip - one if I need to cut the loop now, and one if I'm not in a full attack but I'll need to stop thinking for a bit soon.

Because books.

Jilli, I hope you can figure out a way to stave off the panicking and the upset. I think the Ativan/Xanax advice is very good. Also, what about a promised treat? When I'm in horrible kill-me-now deadline mode and being eaten alive by stress, I have to one thing to look forward to, the proverbial carrot, even if it's nothing more than my favorite ice cream or a good new fic to read.

So many 80s videos to love and choose from! I'm going to say, shameful as it is, one of mine has to be "Come On, Eileen." I would say "November Rain," but I think that's 90s.

I think Jilli's only recourse is a pharmaceutical one, because any other bribe or rationale just isn't up to the task of breaking the cycle of panic she can descend into.

You have a thing for hairy armpits aimed directly into camera? Weird.

Whoops.

Because books.

And overalls with no shirts underneath!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

And blond curls breaking free of their Rosie-the-Riveter-kerchief bonds!

Favorite '80s video? "Our House" by Madness. Bless.

Though I could probably make a case for a bunch of the hair bands.
