I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Yay for nice, mellow festivities! (Is that contradictory? Eh, works in my head).

So, I saw trailers (this weekend and last) for two movies that, in very different ways, are based on real events. I feel like having problems with both of them because they're "violating canon." The people I was with for each trailer think I'm being a slightly anal psycho (my words) for caring this much. Is it just me? Anybody else have issues with filmmakers fictionalizing people they care about? Am I just a psycho? (The movies, by the way, were Evan Almighty, and a new Jane Austen story. I may be coming around to the psycho-vote).

Yay, Aims! Congrats!

I've already chosen her dress, the attendant's dresses, and the flower girl dress.

Does she get any votes?

Have fun!

I've missed my Bitches.

tommyrot, I'm so sorry to hear about Senor Sock. It's clear that he was well-loved, and will be missed. {{{}}}

Happy late birthday Sean!

Yay for weddings!

Love and ~ma to anyone that got missed on my skimming.

So, this weekend I: got sunburned, saw Kevin Freakin Sorbo, people-watched in the lobby of a sci-fi con, developed a very strong crush on a Boy from Indianapolis, discovered that my AC unit was leaking water about ten minutes before I left the house for a two-day trip, smooshed and almost snapped off my driver's side mirror, visited friends, and came home at 10:30pm to more leaked water and also an overflowing toilet.

So, yeah, you gotta take the good with the bad, I guess.

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

Aimée is FAST.

Epic, sorry to hear about the medical woes.

What real event is Evan Almighty based on?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Congrats to Aimee's sister!

What real event is Evan Almighty based on?

I was just about to post the same question.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Does she get any votes?

Hee! She has already approved her dress and we are waffling over a couple of b-maid dresses.

Also? Holy cow! The rules for getting married in a Catholic church are just ... wow.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Also? Holy cow! The rules for getting married in a Catholic church are just ... wow.

Really? 'Cause ours was very handwavey and whatever-ish (though, caveat, blah blah crunchy granola Berkeley churchcakes). The only rule was that we had to go through the irritating premarital counseling weekend. What are they telling your sister?

How to make the flower girl love you forever: Pick out 3 or 4 dresses that you're happy with (eBay has a jillion poofy girly flower princess dresses for cheap) and let her make the final choice.

Flower girl = Em. She wears what I pick. Hee!!

It's mostly the requirements/guidelines for wedding party attire and music approval that kind of cracks me up. But this is the uber-Catholic, gorgeous Ann Arbor church. She might end up going with a campus church since they tend to be a lot more hand-wavey. The one on EMU's campus has a gay-lesbian assoc in their parish, which way cool on them!
