Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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 mostly hate the constantly coming out. Every time you start a new job or meet a new person you know it's coming - and it's annoying and sometimes a bit stressful.
I had a similar thing for a long time about my parents, especially when on dates. You never really realize how many times you are asked point-blank questions about your parents, until your answer for most of them is "they're dead." Stops a conversation cold. It's gotten a lot easier now that I've stopped stressing about making the other person feel bad. But I still sort of wait for the moment, because I know it's coming. Of course, people (I assume) aren't judging me for it, so I got that going for me.

Should I get you a "Gay as Fuck!" button, maybe?
Then I'd have to get megan an "Orphan" button too. Maybe just a sad eyed waif would do. Something like a Gorey urchin.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't think that one is going to work out very well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, but part of the problem with gay is that unlike orphan (unless you're, like, the Menendez kids) people can hold it against you. And if you're my grocery store clerk? I don't care. And if you're a possible friend? I want to know, so I can avoid becoming friends. But if you're someone I have to work with? Well, it gets tricky. So it's not about being there the first day and dropping "Blah blah blah MY GIRLFRIEND OH YEAH I'm A BIG GAY HOMO" into conversation. That's easy. If that was what it was about, I wouldn't have a problem. But at that same time, you don't want to just avoid talking about it, because really that's not cool either....and yet...
