It's sad that our tags cut off the end of the first amendment.
Ah well, I have a Buffy quote backup.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

[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.

Andi and I have tomorrow off. We had 4 whole days off together in November.
We'll have three more together at the end of the week.
I'm hoping it's a trend.
OTOH? Forecast for tomorrow for here says:
"Snow: 100% chance of precipitation"
It goes into more detail for tomorrow:
9 AM Likely Snow
12 PM Definite Snow
3 PM Definite Snow
6 PM Definite Snow
9 PM Definite Freezing Rain , Definite Light Ice Pellets (sleet)
I'm hoping that's not a trend.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
so I got an email this afternoon. The job I applied for in Texas has filled the position, and it wasn't me. Its not that big of a deal, as I realized I really love the friends I have here. The thing that sucks is they never even called.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Daniel, we bought a snow blower this evening. Hedging our bets against a trend.
omnis, that sucks. Really, they should contact candidates and not leave them hanging.

I didn't know you'd applied for a job in Texas, omnis.
I'm glad you didn't get it. Punk.

Hivemind question, at least for the straight male portion of the hivemind...
To what degree do you notice the appearance of other men, and what sort of details do you pick up on? I'm having this problem in my WIP that a relationship is coming across slashier than I'd intended (though I do mean for it to be a leetle slashy) because my own perspective as a woman who'd find both men pretty damn hot is coming through a bit too much when I'm in their POVs. It's subtle--it's not like I have them noticing each other's lean hips or getting lost in each other's deep blue/golden brown eyes--but I'm writing with a bit too female a gaze for male POV, I think.

Depends on context. If I'm working with them or in close proximity I might note things about them. (Heavy beard, lazy eye etc.) On the street? Pretty much generic typing. On the street also depends on context. Some streets I'm going to look for menacing body language and certain groupings. On the train I'm mostly conscious I don't want to be near the person with body odor or reeking of nicotine or whiskey.

Hm. I've got them meeting as strangers who rather quickly find themselves on the same side of a gunfight, and from there they develop an ultimately close but initially uneasy friendship, the unease stemming from differences in age, rank, and social class that push them apart despite their instinctive recognition that they're kindred spirits.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
hmmm. I know guys that notice more - but it is usually very general ( he's a good looking guy) or comparative - ( if only I had that much hair) .
