[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.

My button would suck: No, you can't catch it. Maybe I could add: I know Four Ways To Kill You With Ordinary Household Objects.

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

The sash idea cracks me up. Married, Does Not Want Kids, Yes I Look Like This All The Time, I May Use You As A Horrible Example In My Book.

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, I think what strikes you about that article and these conversations, that's so incredibly important to point out, is how it's so not about "PDAs" and getting it on in front the childrenz. I can't imagine how tough it is, how draining, on a day to day basis to be running up against all this, weighing options and predicting reactions before you can feel comfortable saying (or not saying) completely innocuous every day life stuff.

weighing options and predicting reactions before you can feel comfortable saying (or not saying) completely innocuous every day life stuff.

Yeah, some of it is just....how much do you say, and how much do you let people assume? And if you let them assume, do you take the risk that later, they'll be pissed?

"Do you have a boyfriend?" "Uh....no"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I like the sash idea. Vegetarian; single; yes, I do own a skirt; the sneakers are a necessity, not a fashion choice; mathematician; like any sports that give me some way to move faster than I usually can; will rant about US food and agriculture policy for hours if given an opening; if I seem standoffish, just keep talking to me, and I'll get comfortable enough to respond eventually.

I've noticed that, with the vegetarian thing, if I'm telling some story or whatever where the fact that I'm a vegetarian is relevant (like, talking about trying to find a restaurant or something), a huge number of people will respond with something like, "Oh, I could never do that, I LOVE meat." And the way I was saying it, it was pretty obvious that "I'm vegetarian" was leading into another sentence, but people seem to feel the need to interrupt me to tell me how much they love meat.

Also, there are the annoying people (the people who do this are almost always male and over 50) who'll immediately start asking things like, "Do you wear leather? Do you eat gelatin?" to try to catch me in a contradiction. I so don't understand the "I'm gonna show you that you haven't really thought through this decision you made nearly fifteen years ago" people.

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

All it takes is one really, really good logical inconsistency and you'll suddenly love hamburgers Jesus dick the war whatever it is.

Mostly lurking...

And if there's one thing I've learned in life is that the interesting part *is* the inconsistency. I'm not sure I can make sense of what I mean there, though... so, maybe nevermind.

ION, I am going to the 'rents this weekend. I offered to help mom with something, and she said, "Honey, I really think you just need to rest and be taken care of." Ok. We can go with that.
