Happy Belated Birthday, Laga!
I'll be packing up my ass for Jars' mother...
Damn, that's what I wanted to send... Well, no harm in sending a back-up ass.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.
'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[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.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism
Mum "I'm just saying I've never seen you that fat before. It's disgusting."
That would pretty much end my relationship with my mom, except for obligatory events like funerals. I mean, seriously. Who thinks that's acceptable to say to *anyone,* let alone someone they presumably love?
Bullshit.

I'm sure my mother will be absolutely delighted with all your donations. It'll give her other bits to poke...

Now tagless for your comfort.
Mum "I'm just saying I've never seen you that fat before. It's disgusting."
The gob is smacked.
Mom needs one as well.

not your mom's socks.
it began as an idea.
then it became a post
then a cause
and then a movement
eyes were opened
thoughtless comments were brought to task
diets were abandoned for the cause
and ... on a fairly innocuous Monday morning, send-someone-your-ass was born.
(and no, I don't mean porn)

I mean really, if I was a more sensitive soul, I'd probably have been quite upset. Luckily, I don't really have problems with my body image. I've put on a few pounds since moving in with the bloke (as you do), but I'm still a size twelve, fer God's sake! Like I have been since I was twelve.
ETA - Ha! Sox! Is funny.

Because books.
and ... on a fairly innocuous Monday morning, send-someone-your-ass was born
Heh. And Buffistas start yet another trend...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That was totally horrible of your mom, Jars. Even alone she'd have been totally horrible (plus, none of her business, plus, wrong -- has she actually seen you? You look great. Is she blind?), but in front of the whole family? Shit. But I think I'm a little in love with your DH for having your back so quickly and so firmly.
Hil, I was just thinking about Just Shoot Me, while mainlining my MSCL DVDs and thinking about how Claire Danes's gifts have been really ill-served by film (in one of the interviews she talks about the relationship between actor and writer, and how television feeds that relationship because it's a living medium in a way no other performance world is). And I was remembering that Laura San Giacomo was one of the first big-screen actresses in the early 90s to explicitly say, "Fuck, I'm tired of playing girlfriends and mistresses and looking forward to playing moms. I wanna play something other than an appendage or impediment to the hero; screw the glory of film, I'm moving to TeeVee."
Um, not that those were her exact words, but that was the gist of a long interview she gave some big paper right before the pilot aired.
I'm all embarrassed at the praisey talk -- I don't know about people in general, but it seemed like something any Buffista would do -- so I'm just going to go back and stare at the pictures of scrunch-faced Frisco.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
See, your modesty only serves to make you EVEN MORE ADORABLE.

See, your modesty only serves to make you EVEN MORE ADORABLE.I don't know what you're talking about. Last I checked, I was neither male, British, living in Seattle, nor married to Jilli. I don't even know how to loom. I meet none of the criteria for adorability.
