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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

hahah thanks! Somebody said it to me at this party:

I think I remember you telling us that story, and showing us some of those pictures and every one agreeing that bitch was craxy.

Punishingly Intricate

oh, yeah! I have a belly but she is totally nutso!! Which i think confirms the NEVER ASK SOMEONE IF SHE IS PREGNANT point. If she is not pregnant she will think you are rude and/or crazy!

Even if she is pregnant, if she hasn't told you, maybe she doesn't want to talk about it with you (maybe it's not going well, or she's planning to adopt the baby out or you just never know!)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I saw it with Perkins and Hulce--and from stage seats. An amazing night in the theater.

sighhh...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

First off: JILLI OMG YOU ARE SO. FUCKING. COOL!!!!!!!

is it OK to congratulate her on her pregnancy or do you always have to wait for the momma to break the news?

NEVER EVER ASSUME!!!! EVER!!!!!

signed, has been asked more than once when i'm due. FUCKERS, I'M JUST CHUBBY!

Yup -- just because she's petite and seems to have gained weight in the tummy/lower abdomen area doesn't mean she's pregnant. Some people gain weight in their buddha area.

And in that vein (and because I'm having a hard time telling what all this [relatively recent] exercise is doing to my body), I offer up 2 pictures, exactly 2 years apart:

Talk Like a Pirate Day, 2006.

Talk Like a Pirate Day, 2008 (aka, today).

I realize that the 2006 picture has me at a 3/4 profile pose, which isn't flattering AT ALL, and today's picture is straight on, but I still think that, in spite of the difference in the 2 poses, you can get a sense of my midsection, and to me, in today's picture it looks less apple-y.

In the shower, I *feel* different, like, I can tell what curves less and what is flatter where, but it's still not easy for me to assess.

So...I know it's not a HUGE difference, but -- does anyone else see it, or am I nuts?

t edit And I'm really not shamelessly fishing for compliments; I have a hard time telling, and The Boy tries not to make comments about my weight, EVER, after one ill-advised comment led to me flipping out like a mammal.

It is hard to tell based on the different poses in the pictures, but if you feel different and better, that's the best test of all. You look more standing straight and confident, as well, and the bright color looks much better than the black.

In conclusion: You are pretty in both pics, but you definitely have something going on in today's picture posing.

I'm not off the fat acceptance bandwagon; I'm just impaired at self-assessment, *because* of years of dieting and hating my body. So other eyes help me figure out if I'm seeing things or not.

Well, there was looting and pillaging....

Heh- I'm working really hard at NOT assessing other people's bodies! For realz. So that was influencing my response (and also my perception).
