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 know there's a term for this dick-measuring point-scoring crap, but I can't think what it's called. Anyone?
Maybe "specious", which means plausible, but untrue.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Happy Birthday, Teppy!
OK, so I'm writing a novel in which real historical figures feature prominently. Last night I decided to look up the earliest citation of a word in the OED (which I get online through the Seattle Public Library). I don't do that for every word, of course, but I'd already rejected two words for this particular concept because I knew they were too recent, so I wanted to be sure the one I'd settled on was OK. (Unlike "OK" itself, which is too modern for my characters by 30 years or so.)
Anyway, the second citation in the OED for my word was by...the very person who uses it in my story. Total researchgasm for me, though I have a feeling I'd draw nothing but blank stares if I tried to explain the utter coolness of this discovery to my coworkers during the chatty part of our staff meeting that's about to start.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ha, so cool!

That is pretty darn awesome, Susan! That would give me a big happy too!
I am doing laundry so I have clothes to wear on my trip to Indy. Sadly, I really didn't plan well enough, and the library doesn't open until after I leave today. ARGH. The 1pm-8pm hours (these are only some days of the week) were great when I was working and wanting to go after work, but are not great when I'm trying to get there in the morning! I have a book on hold that arrived, and I"m afraid they may send it back before I have a chance to pick it up. Also, this means I don't have a chance to go get new books to read.

Happy birthday, Steph! Am TOTALLY jealous of your beach vacation. My family's been to Topsail a few times and I love it there.
