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.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Happy Birthday, vw! May you have a day full of awesome quilting opportunities and yummy treats.

Aimee, I'll add my bah too. Nice house, tho!

I need to get paperdol's book still. I'm sure the review will be fantastic.

Yesterday I got acupuncture to ward off a cold, which seems to have worked! Still tired though.

Punishingly Intricate

Got the rest of the story from L. Dickhead emptied the bank account to the tune of $2,000.

gah! am so worried for your friend. I can't remember, has she taken out a restraining order on him? I know you were saying she didn't want to leave the house but ... it just seems like it would be the safest thing to do.

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

Happy birthday, bug!

Juliana, from now on whenever I see things like these I'm going to think of you. But I probably won't see that many things like that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Happy birthday to the marvelous, smart, caring, crafty Bug! I feel lucky to know you and admire your courage and generosity more than you will ever know.

As a birthday gift I offer this link to the Cutest Puppy Ever: [link]

Shit's all sorts of different now.

DJ - check in please.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think she will get a restraining order. Her mom (who is in town right now) told her she needs one.

This is the email she sent me:

He took all the money out of the account yesterday when he logged on and saw I had paid a locksmith. Said it was to get a lawyer. But he took the money out before he knew I had hired a lawyer - I lost my temper and told him. Spent half the night securing the house with boards and such, and this morning at the bank setting up a new account. My grandparents are wiring me some money today to get through the next few days, and I have a new account set up to have my paycheck go into and pay bills. Luckily he did this at the end of the month and the bills had gone out, or it could've been a lot worse.

Sorry. My cousin just sent me an email telling me her sister is getting an annullment because "everything he said was lies."

Gah. What is it with people?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

She also answers yes when I ask if her ears hurt, but she answers yes if I ask if her nose is falling off.

Well, I've had many a cold or sinus infection where I wished my nose would fall off!

Has Emeline reached the "opposites humor" stage yet? It's Annabel's idea of high comedy, and involves things like saying Daddy is a girl and she and Mommy are boys, Calvin is a tiger and Hobbes is a boy, etc.

Good luck with your interview, JZ!

paperdol, I'm sure EW will give you a rave review, but on the outside chance they don't, I'm reliably told by my author friends that even negative reviews increase sales--they make more people aware of the book, many of whom will think, "Wait a minute. That sounds fascinating. That reviewer has to be on crack." (Not that I expect to be half so philosophical if/when I'm published and get a less-than-stellar review.)

Thanks DJ - you are in Dallas, right? Everyone ok there? What with the gas explosions and whatnot?


JZ - Jul 25, 2007 7:54:26 am PDT #7948 of 10001
See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, DJ, L's ex truly is a nickel-plated sphincter. I don't even have any other words. Vibing safety and disappear-him-forever~ma to L.

Sorry. My cousin just sent me an email telling me her sister is getting an annullment because "everything he said was lies."

WTF? Really, humans, cut it out.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, I'm glad DJ's been around so much this morning so when I saw about the explosions I didn't freak.

Christ, L's ex is bad news. Has she thought more about a restraining order, or is that even a possibility?
