Yeah, I think it was flirting. Meara with rumpled hair = hot.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

Heh. Sadly, meara with rumpled hair, glasses, pajamas, off an hour long conference call, and PRECOFFEE?? Not quite the glamourpuss or tousled tease you might envision.
Though given some conversations I've had about the Seattle aesthetic and attitude, recently, I suppose it might go over better than I'd anticipate or prefer...

PRECOFFEE??
That's just uncalled for.
::shoves coffee through interwebs for meara::
But the rest of it sounds like the standard meara-spheric levels of HOTT.

HEY! Oh, wait, the rest of Seattle is like that, isn't it? I will restrain my indignant "hmmph!"

Well, you're gorgeous. Of course the rumpled pre-coffee look is good on you.

Well, Jilli, it's especially prevalent among the dykes. The whole crunchier granola hipster grunge dirty hippy I don't comb my hair I'm cool because I pay someone to cut my hair to make it look like my hair hasn't been cut in six months kinda look. All that jazz. What can I say. We were in Portland, where it's even MORE so, and me and my J-Crew-East-Coast self were mourning the culture shock. I was all "Where's my dykes who look slick and fierce and like to hang out with fancy gay men who want nice things and fancy drinks??"
Fear not, Sean. I have coffee now. With an extra shot, even, thanks to that barista. :)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My ex Michelle, when she moved from Minneapolis to DC (er, this was after we broke up), was going to the coffee shop in the student union all the time, and kinda though the manager of the shop was flirting with her, but wasn't sure, and was mentioning this to us....and then the girl was like, GIVING HER FREE COFFEE, and we were like "Dude, that's flirting with you"....and finally the girl was WRITING HER NUMBER on Michelle's coffee cup!! We were like "Michelle, do you need a bigger sign????"
Ha, that's straight out of a How I Met Your Mother episode!

Oh, that look is prevalent amongst most of Seattle, not just the dykes. Crazy people, I say. Dress up, dammit!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
We were in Portland, where it's even MORE so,
Portland, where they issue the flannel, Birks, golden retriever, and Subaru at the border?
