Excellent. Now I need some Canadians to weigh in and tell me whether it (still) sounds weird to them.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

[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.

To me, "fix a meal" or "fix a drink" sounds a little old-fashioned, but not weird.
I've been trying to quit using "gonna" and "oughta." A lot of the math department is foreign-born, and I always get blank looks when I use one of those.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
try saying, "yeah, but" in front of a Russian. I'm not sure what it means but from the snickers it's clearly something dirty.
I'm more likely to offer to fix someone a drink than to fix them some dinner.

No fire tonight. I count that as a win. I think I'll go to bed now.
I thought that you said that there wasn't going to be a fire . . .

Ugh. Slept all day, and now having trouble getting to sleep now. Better got to sleep soon, though, because I've got to be up at 9 tomorrow.

I would swear when I lived in Houston, (where you find people from all the world, and all over the South) I met people who used "Y'all" to mean second person singular, and "all Y'all" to mean second person plural. Maybe it is a regional difference? (Not a Houston regional difference, but used that way somewhere?)

eek! My roomie just texted he has $10 to his name and he doesn't come home until Thursday night. I still think broke in Hawaii is better than not in Hawaii at all.

I just made a dorm-style wine cooler with pinot noir. It was fixing to turn. (See that sounds quaint) It's actually not bad.
