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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Did anyone else watch the Hogswatch movie?

I recorded it but haven't watched it, yet.

Happy day after Emeline's birthday! And happy December, y'all.

It's the first of the month and I don't have to pay rent. Exciting..

We always left Santa cookies and a beer. And an apple for the reindeer. No CHristmas for any hypothetical kids of mine, of course, except at Grandma's house.

{{Jessica}} Lots of get~well~ma for your grandfather.

So did no one else (that grew up with two parents in the house) get separate presents from each parent?

We did. My mom had the general gift giving duties, making sure everyone got something and getting the practical things or the things she knew we really wanted or whatever, but dad loves to give gifts and would give stuff on his own as well.

And Santa brought stuff for my parents. And filled their stockings. Our stockings always had a tangerine in the toe and a mini box of cereal at the top and whimsical stuff in between. At some point we started trading names and each of us would fill someone else's stocking - that was pretty great.

Fay emceeing a Day at the Races sounds perfect. And Hil telling off Eric, necessary.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Every year our stockings would contain one orange-type citrus fruit (tangerine, clementine, actual orange, whatever) and a penny in the toe, one thing of scotch tape because we always stole my mother's and she kept trying to prevent that, at least one candy food thing, and at least one small toy.

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.

I wish I'd gotten tangerines. The Christmas I was eleven, Mom put a book called Almost Twelve in my stocking. Explained sexual reproduction in a factual yet modestly Christian way. I believe I have told this story here before, yet the mortification I felt at the time was strong enough that I need to keep telling it. Also, so not fair for that book which was an extrusion of parental duty to tell me the facts of life to replace some actual fun presents.

Here, the cats get a stocking together - which we fill out of trips to dollar store pet toys. And Daniel and I wrack our brains thinking of stuff to put in each other's stocking. My forays into the dollar-dvd aisle at Walmart yield particularly lame results.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, we always got oranges in the stockings, too. I wonder where that tradition comes from.

Ouch, Andi. Way to make Christmas morning an excruciating ordeal.

Why do companies gotta be so stupid? Gah!

I'm not frantically trying to put together needs for a frelling dog and pony show for executives at the end of the month. This includes heads of certain animation studios that Steve Jobs is very involved with.

Oh, we had the red stockings with the white cuffs and our names embroidered on the cuff. My sister's name is pink in the last letter, because my mom ran out of red thread. I know Mom has since made stockings (do they match ours? I'm not sure) for the grandkids, and I think for all her kids-in-law as well.

Sorry for the stupidity, ND.

I appear to have changed congressional districts. Weird. I don't think Colbert's done either my new one or my old one, yet.

It's just typical mausewhichtz crazyiness.

I figured. But even the usual craziness is unnecessary and annoying. And therefore gets my sympathy.
