If I do something about it and DO get a polite rejection, then at least I'll know where I am.
And that he's insane and/or blind.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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.

Good Lord Fay that haircut is magic. Wowza.
I counter with a photo of me taken in work yesterday...
That's a Facebook link, so I hope it works.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Whatever happened to conservation of matter? Does it just not apply to bookshelves?
I'm convinced that books behave like a gas - they will expand to fill the space alloted to them. Literature abhors a vaccum.
ION, I just found out that my sister who's in China right now may move to LA when her contract is up. Which would still leave me with one sister in NYC and one sister in CA, but they'll have switched places and it is FREAKING ME OUT.

Fay, awesome hair. He's deeply stupid if he doesn't get the hot that is you. (But blokes can be stupid like that. I apparently cause IQ's to drop by entering a room.) But I'm not exactly endorsing the "Be bold! confess!" plan. Because I did it, and got a very talented beta reader, but no snoggage. Just enough flirting to fuck with my head once in a while, and that's all. I guess I'm glad I did it because it was incredibly nervy, but there are no guarantees.

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

Hence the dust.

Yeah, the "be bold! confess!" hasn't usually worked out for me. Nor has it often worked out for the people (hi, 52 year old!) who have said it to me. On the other hand, I have had several people who like, YEARS LATER have said shit about having crushes on me, where I'm like "well, why didn't you say somethig at the TIME", so maybe if more people DID seize the day, more of those stories would work out, you know??
(And that's not to say it's always ended up as some awkward horrible situation or anything. Sometimes it's just like "Oh, uh...I kinda figured. OK. Nevermind then." And we move on)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I totally flung myself at Mr. Jane. Like, naked in his bed when he got home from work flung.

That's not flinging. That's launching out of a catapult. Go you.

Well, I flirt with everyone, so I needed a way to let him know that he was special.

Well, Daisy, all I can say about that, is good job it worked out. John hockenberry has a story like that in his book that didn't, and he ended up under her bed out of his wheelchair while she did someone else.
