[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.

hey, hivemind, anyone have a good source for tshirts? I need to do 15-20, so not enough volume for a printer, but I'm trying to avoid cafe press

move out and draw fire

Zazzle? They do better work than cafepress anyway.

which was the historical and contextual background.

You'd think if he was in fact fundamentalist, he'd be all over this.

Thirst was pretty good for a YA vampire book.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I read the hot new teenlit vampire sensation Twilight' a couple of months ago, and it just about made my head explode.

Yeah, that was my reaction to Twilight. But, I have to say that New Moon and Eclipse are better. They're not the Best YA Vampire Books EVAH!, tho. For those I will point you at the Vampire Kisses series (silly name, great books) and the Morganville Vampires series (written by the same woman who writes the Weather Warden books, which I have not yet read).

I am SO TIRED of being sick.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

And I wanted to tell you I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to get together with you when we were in Dallas. Next time I need to be better about planning.

No worries! Don't y'all normally hang out in North Dallas? It's kind of a bitch to get me up there anyway. Oooooh! Next time you come I could show you our cool new offices with the spa room, the Lodge and beach rooms, the room with the keg box and the pool table and the wine cellar (originally the library).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am back from Detroit and am now headachey and exhausted and I do NOT want to go to class tonight, but I have to.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Zazzle? They do better work than cafepress anyway.

That is what I have heard as well.

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

How do I politely say "what's in it for me?"

Say you'd love to help and your consulting rate is XXX?

Or, if you don't feel ready to come up with a rate, ask them to send you a sample contract.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

DJ, your office sounds fabulous. We stay in McKinney when we're there. I have no idea where that is in relation to you.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

McKinney is Northwest I believe. If you look at the metroplex as a bicycle with Ft. Worth as the back wheel and Dallas as the front wheel with Grand Prarie and Arlington being that bar in the middle, McKinney would be at the top leftish of the front wheel. Where I work is near the middle of the upright spoke that is I 75 on the Dallas wheel.

Mostly lurking...

You'd think if he was in fact fundamentalist, he'd be all over this.

You'd think! I even gave him a great book (ok...great is contextual here) about the history of fundamentalism in America that was published by Bob Jones University Press! HELLO! Golden!

Loser.

In not loser news, I stopped by to see my second reader of my thesis to thank him for his comments. Um...some warning that he is young, adorable (curly blond hair and green eyes!), and Irish (with adorable accent) would have been good. I was a pile of wibble goo. I couldn't say anything intelligent. And, it didn't help when he said, "Well, I hope I got this across in my comments, but if not, I'll say it now. Your thesis was much more what I would expect of a respected published scholarly article, not a senior thesis. It was an ambitious topic, and you engaged me, even when I disagreed."

At one point he asked how I received the comments...where they typed by someone and e-mailed to me? I said, no. I got the original comments that he wrote. He was like, "So, in my green pen? Oh, dear. I thought someone would type them."

My wibble response? "I liked the green pen."

I am hopeless.
