Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Re: the Great Ye Discussion - did we already cover the fact that the 'ye' in (eg) Ye Olde Curiosity Shop is in fact a The? Because the 'Y' is actually the Anglo Saxon letter (iirc) thorn, which makes a 'th' sound?
Jars - WTFF? Crazy as a freaking FOX.
ion, I blame much of the bastardization of my speech patterns upon the Buffistas. When I got here, I may have sounded like the bastard child of Jane Austen and Bill or Ted, but by this point I use 'dude' and 'y'all' and 'sweet' in everyday conversation without giving it a second thought.
I mean, not that the discourse Chez Buffistas is exactly riddled with instances of these terms - but they crop up here (and, granted, over on LJ - which I only originally joined so I could stay in touch with my Buffista peeps when WorldCrossing went down...) with considerably greater frequency than they do in my meatspace existence. (Because that would constitute a great big fat zero percent of my offline friends' language use.) And although I use these terms in a sort of self-conscious taking-the-piss fashion, kind of...yet still they're now embedded in my vocabulary.
Oh! Teppy, was it you who asked about
I'm going to make the dinner
as a language structure? Because...how else does one say that?
ion, Still Obsessing Over From Eroica With Love.
Falling in love with a 30 year old Manga, however, is quite frustrating. This is clearly why my fannish flings are usually cinematic or televisual - it's so much easier to share the love. I find myself wanting to get all Jehova's Witness-y and doorstep people and try to make them embrace the slashy crack.

Our wings are not tired.
Ginger, you can't expect me to do anything but to encourage you in this. Poor puppy needs you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, cute dog. Sad story. If he's really a Jack Russell Terrier who likes to just sit companionably he might not be so much of a handful, even.

Oh, poor baby.
Flashing back now to last weekend and my sister and I sitting on the couch full-out sobbing at that Sarah Maclachlan/ASPCS commercial.

Someone (and now I forget who) said "going to" is a Southernism, and yeah, I was the one who offered "I'm going to make dinner" as an example. Because it doesn't sound like a regional language usage.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
T just sent me a couple pictures of the nephew on my cellphone (if I had any idea how to I would share). My older nephew suddenly looks like a teenager. When the hell did that happen?

Trudy, you've linked to the second one before, haven't you? Because it looks familiar to me.

I think I have. The Sheryl Crow picture is new though and making me all wibbly again.
