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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

thanks Jilli. Those makeup artists did make me very pretty but it was weird looking in the mirror. I feel like myself again and it only took 7 cotton balls.

I have made some REALLY BAD food choices today. I blame PMS,

Is anyone dead? Does anyone have some sort of office implement sticking out of them (pens, letter openers, phone handset, etc.)? No? Then not a bad food choice.

Okay, fair point. I didn't even yell at any of my writers during the meeting this morning.

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.

Dear Buffista and Buffista sprog sickies:

Feel better soon.

Lots of love, me

Our wings are not tired

16+ hour days can stop any time now. I love my job, but there is such a thing as too much.

Also, 100+ degree weather when I'm working outdoors, not of the good.

I saw my first Halloween Horror Nights billboard on the way home today and got all excited. I hope it's a little rewarding knowing you create wonderful things, ND.

It's very rewarding, right now it's just also very exhausting.

You know, I was planning on doing a nice meara of all kinds of things that have cropped up in the last couple of days, but my brain just blew a gasket.

A friend included me in a mass forwarding of this essay [link] "This is Your Nation on White Privilege". One of the recipients, who is no one I have ever met or otherwise interacted with, hit "Reply All" to whine about the "Black Privilege" driving working class people of all races out of New Orleans. Also there were some bits about how he is dealing with a step daughter married to "White trash". He also trotted out the POW thing.

I sent a very neutral "Please take my email address out of your list. That Reply All button can be such a sneaky little thing." I was trying to be charitable. But he came back with "I thought you (all) would appreciate my observations."

My brain is melting and draining out my ears with the effort to not pick his t air quotes observations t /air quotes apart with respect to their logical relationship, or lack thereof, to the original post.

How wrong would it be for me to reply that on second thought I do appreciate his thoughts, and would like to continue the dialog, so long as he does not mind me mocking him mercilessly across the internet? Very wrong?

“Not dead yet!”

I'm not grasping how this would be wrong.

But then again, I'm not known as a terribly nice person. I say skewer the sumbitch.
