I'm sorry, I don't think hinting is enough.
Me, neither. Plus, I always kind of thought that hinting was too subtle for you, Vortex. You seem like a woman of action, not hinting. *Especially* when someone rudely invites 10 people into YOUR home.
I would be there right now.

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.

The person who said they would write a rec for the scholarship application that is due today doesn't seem to be coming through. Fuck fuck fuck.
argh. As a person who deals with apps with recommendations, I always give a little leeway for deadlines with recs. I know that it is often beyond the person's control that shit gets handled.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Next week I'm sure there will be another one about a different scholarship! Hopefully, it will also be short.

Vortex, maybe you should contact this person and tell her (is it a her?) that she now needs to foot 1/2 the bill for whatever you're serving at the party.

there is, but only the person who sent the evite can do it. If I had done it, I would have removed the people who hadn't responded. As is, 3 of the new invitees have responded.
Ugh. If I were you, I'd be telling Rude!Person to un-invite the extra people right the hell now, and by the way, to lose my address and consider moving far away.
But, like I said, it's a cranky month.

Oh, here's an interesting wrinkle. She claims that she only added two people. Which means that OTHER people must be adding folks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Glad the freakout was gratuitous, Aims. Having gotten that out of the way, the rest of your day can be freakout free.
Vortex, the woman is clearly mental and shouldn't be allowed on the property. Shoot on sight. And yes, by all means, allow her to clean up her mess.
I use curmudgeon all the time, for a specific type of person. And cranky? I don't think I'd get through the day without using (or being) cranky. It's a natural state of being.
Todd--thank you! It shall be deployed at an advantageous opportunity.
vw, whoohoo, you!

People! You do not get to invite other people to someone else's house for a party that is not about you!*
*Tip: You should probably also take a good hard look and reevaluate what is exactly and is not about you.

And now to change the subject before my crankiness devours me whole....
I have a lipstick question. Well, 2, actually.
(1) All y'all have seen me; I'm fair, tending toward VERY pink, especially in the summer. Do I want a lipstick with a blue(ish) undertone [pls. bear in mind that my teeth are...not as white as they could be]? I'm really bad about knowing what shades/undertones work on me.
My pink-ness has blue undertones, actually, versus peach or yellow. Does that make a difference?
(2) Has anyone used the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, and if so, do you like it? Does it actually stay on for more than an hour?
I realize my 2 questions ballooned into a gazillion, but, well.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think I'm going to cry now. I emailed one of my BFFs who I've known since I was 14 or 15 about everything yesterday.
Along with a very sweet note about why he loves me and how I'm the best friend and wing woman a guy could have, he sent me what has to be one of my favorite pictures of myself.
