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.

Our wings are not tired.

Sparky, I find that candles are usually a good gift. Last year I gave my direct staff AmEx gift cards, and everyone else received candles, liquor, fancy soaps and for the people I knew to have Christmas trees, icicle ornaments from Gumps (surprisingly inexpensive but look so fancy coming from Gumps!).

Go Tom with the job!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Interview~ma to Tom.

Some David-and-Emmett~ma, please? I just left the shower and missed a call from David--the car overheated just past the Bay Bridge and stopped dead in the middle of a crowded freeway, and he was calling to get our emergency roadside service #. I called back, got his voicemail, left all the info, and haven't heard back yet.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I just called the car place and they said that everything is going well and they'll call me when it is done, and now I am trying to run around and randomly put away messes in the apartment so that when my friends show up in a half hour they don't think that we're total slobs. How do things get messy again so quickly?

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.

Sparky, what about holiday-themed fancy pens or pencils?

Car~ma for sj.

Job~ma for Tom.

Update: When he said "crowded roadway just past the bridge" what he meant was "crowded street off the freeway, well past the bridge" -- still dangerous, but not as much as when I'd been imagining him and Emmett in the middle of a 5-lane freeway with tons of steel hurtling at them at 70-80 mph.

Emmett's at school and Hec is off on the side of the road waiting for a tow; all's not exactly right with the world, but much improved from a few minutes ago.

And, huh. How bizarre. My Firefox spellcheck doesn't like "all's." C'mon, spellcheck! It's in a Shakespeare title and everything!
