[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

DREW! WHAT'S THAT BEHIND YOU?!?!?!?

Our wings are not tired

I'm so numb to these things at this point I think if Jason or Freddy or Leatherface turned up in my room I'd just offer them a drink.

The status is NOT quo.

You know what's scary? Wondering why the kitten's paws are all wet as you cuddle him and then finding a nasty, chewed up cloth bow floating in the toliet.

I just left a note asking, very nicely, for Joe to please try to remember to put the seat and lid down. Ew.

I have a very strong urge to text him this!

That's better than when he got peed on. He jumped on the toilet while I was using it.

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

My first year of university we had one phone for all fourteen of us on that floor of residence. Didn't call home much, rarely got called.

I was the perfect distance away--a bit over 2 hours away. No surprise visits, but I could come home for the odd weekend of good food.

Never ever for laundry though. I think even when I was home on vacation they wouldn't let our maid do mine. Well, their maid, was the point.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Free university and living at home meant that I didn't need my parents to sub me much in college. I'd work all summer, pay my exorbitant registration fees out of that, then usually run out of savings by Christmas. I'd just spend no money after that and occasionally borrow the bus fare in off my parents.

My post-grad, on the other hand, I worked for a year before I started, saved a bunch of money, then got a loan for a bunch of money, and still ran out of money three months before I handed in my diss. My parents had to pay my rent for those three months, for which I am eternally grateful.

And I can honestly say that I've called my mom maybe five times since I've moved out. She calls my mobile at least six times a week, so I've never had to call her. And I'm way too polite to tell her that she needs to call less. Also, I don't think my mom even knew what I did in university, let alone who she'd call and talk to on my behalf.

Mostly lurking...

Question for the Hivemind:

I'm getting my hair colored at a salon this morning (I don't usually do this; I'm excited, but nervous). Should I wash my hair before I go, or not?

Nope. They'll definitely wash it anyway, and your hair will be hella dry afterwards if it's been washed twice in one day. Also, good morning!
