'The Girl in Question'


Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

{{{{Nora and Tom}}}} That just fucking sucks. All kinds of job~ma to Tom.

{{{Barb}}} I know nothing about publishing fiction except that the business is obviously stoopid.

and the laces are wrapped around her waist.

I do wrap my laces around my waist. It's easier to tie/untie when you're doing it by yourself. Most reenactors do that. Of course, we wear our corsets under other clothes, so you don't actually see them.

IOmememeN, I got my hair cut today and totally needed it. Hadn't had it cut since May. And, I decided to do something diff. with my color, so I've got a white blonde star on the top. Looks like I'm wearing a little cap. I kinda dig it. Pictures start here: [link]

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

And did not mean to patronize about McCarthy era. My parents were victims as were a lot of their friends so I heard a lot of first hand stories. And I've learned not assume knowledge. But one thing even people who have studied it often forget is that it was not just actors and writers and so on. Teachers,defense plant workers, ordinary people of every sort. There were little McCarthys and little blacklists in every state. But if the comparison is not helping I'll be the one to shut up. I just wanted to emphasize that no one could expect you to walk it off: what you are going through is seriously traumatic; I'm sure you will deal with it. You come across as an extremely strong person. But if it is tough deal with, it is because what you are dealing with is tough for anyone - tough enough to have once been used as deliberate psychological warfare. So, on top of dealing with it, you don't have to feel bad that dealing with it is hard work. It would be hard for anyone, no matter how healthy their ego.

“Not dead yet!”

Nah, you didn't come across as patronizing at all-- more me thinking, "Hm, hadn't thought about it quite like that."

So, on top of dealing with it, you don't have to feel bad that dealing with it is hard work. It would be hard for anyone, no matter how healthy their ego.

This actually made me smile.

And Chi, I loved the shot of your hair from the top. Very cool.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I love ChiKat's hair.

I don't love Barb being tormented by editors and publishers.

I am sorry to hear the world of publishing is being so arbitrary , Barb.

ETA: the letter 'r' which is misbehaving on my keyboard

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh Barb, I'm sorry, what craptastic news. And craptastic news for Nora and Tom as well.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I can't wait until work gets to the point where I can read during the day. So a bit of a Meara here:

PixK, have a blast scubaing! Very proud of you for over coming fear of drowning. It's something I've thought of before, but still too scared. So scuba some for me, k?

OH SHIT, y'all.
Tom just got laid off.
Oh dear. I'm glad there was a nice severance package. I really hope that this door closing is opening a window with beautiful fresh air. A ton of job~ma for you and Tom.

"yes! I remember you" we chatted about the new job, he said "I don't remember your resume as well, but from personality, you'd be great" So, I'm going to apply. Not exactly what I want to do, but decently close. And, gets me back into the law school arena.
Good luck Vortex! If nothing else, use it as a warm-up job app process.

In totally unrelated news, I just got two new cookbooks and I'm dying to cook, but I want to cook in large numbers.
Who wants to visit so I can cook?
:: looks at Buffista map to figure out is it plane, train, or automobile to taste yummies ::

So, instead of doing work at home this evening, I baked cookies. Granted, not from scratch. I got a tub of Toll House cookie dough, and baked them up. But, it was a nice test for my oven (which isn't bad for baking!), and will be warmly welcomed (hopefully) at work tomorrow. and the first batch was over-sized and undercooked. Gosh darn, I got a plate full of cookie dough mush.

Since y'all had Pervy Olympic Observations re: divers. My P.O.O. is watching the ladies softball, thinking "these gals would be great for a Playboy spread. You got petite types, curvy types, short & tall, and all have good muscle tone. Win win win for everyone!"

Also, in regards to the fab USA mens relay swim last night, we coined a phrase at work. "S/he pulled a France". Example Usage: "What happened with Joe last night at the bar? I thought he was making good progress on that hot lifeguard" "ya, he was doing great, but then he pulled a France, and came up short. I think he started talking about his ex or something". The one of the office guys came up with a far funnier example, but I can't recall it right now.

MM & Empress, did I miss the result of the new carness?

There was more. Alas. Not enough time or memory.

Thanks for the compliments, y'all. I'm diggin' the new 'do.

ION, I've been watching Pride & Prejudice tonight and I want a Mr. Darcy. That looks like Colin Firth.

My P.O.O. is watching the ladies

The line break combined with the acronym is rather unfortunate. And disturbing.

sorry about that. I guess my screen resolution is a bit wider. Should I un-acronym it? Truth be told, I hadn't even seen that obvious poor choice.

No, it's funny. Do not change a thing.
