It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ladies, feel free to ogle mine. I consider it a compliment!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now's when I worry about the line between "ogle" and "eyefuck."

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

He's not mine, but it's rude. A man could get himself a righteous beating if he looked at other people's girlfriends this way.

eta: Actually, it's an argument I've had a bunch of times with guys. They think it's perfectly seemly to whup a guy who'd ogle their girlfriend, because it displays a lack of respect--there's a het guy code of honour that's been violated.

I figure if I hang out with good looking guys people are going to notice them. Try and seduce them with their gaze, though? Harrumph.

Thursday afternoon!

We'll go back to Huntington this week though since that's our usual garden.

I'm scared of ita.

We're members of both the Huntington and Descanso. Love them both muchly. They're about the same distance from us, though Descanso is a little bit closer. I'm looking forward to the weather cooling down a bit so I can spend more time in them during the day.

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

Whoo. Caught up. Couple things...

The cops don't know for sure that Ving Rhames' dogs killed the guy. They know he was dead when they got there and that he appeared to have been mauled but he had been one of the dogs' caretakers so I'm hoping there's more to the story than we have yet heard.

You urban spelunkers please to read the sad cautionary tale of Richard Nickel.

People who steal from babies deserve to go to a worse hell than whomever dug up and stole my Mom's plumeria.
