Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

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

I just got a flu shot and an awesome free seated massage at my office health fair. Score! Except that my arm hurts.

Log Lady doesn't need broadband. Her log tells her everything she needs to know.

Yeah, but I question its streaming video capabilities. (The Log Lady is a secret slasher and loves the vids. True facts.)

Cooking question - If I can't find my roasting pan, it is better to use a pyrex baking dish or a dutch oven with high sides?

Baking dish - the dutch oven will trap too much steam and inhibit browning.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Since I'm bored and not working - Shallow (Spooky) Fashion Detais:

"Le Fleur" MCR t-shirt, made semi-respectable with a black blazer and dressy jeans. [link] (yes, it should be "La Fleur")
Silver bracelet with dozens of tiny skull charms, including a key with skull on it
Skeleton hand hairclips
Black/white/gray argyle socks
Dansko Mary Janes, to show off the socks
Dangly earrings with a moon, star, and black sky

I may not be a Perky!Goth, but dressy (lite) gothy sure makes me perky.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So it turns out my parents were completely surprised that I actually came to get the Pants. They went out because they knew I wasn't coming since I hadn't answered my phone and hadn't called them back yet (so I wonder whether my dad really intended to drive out to the airport as a Plan B). My mom didn't even bother to get the Pants ready for me since she knew I wasn't coming. The sense that they were subconsciously making the home a safe space for me to come get the Pants was in my head. OR WAS IT.

(Of course, the fact that we went back home to get the Pants before going to the airport caused us to hit heavy traffic on the way and make me late checking in, which would have been a disaster if my flight wasn't delayed. And this was supposed to prove the existence of God to me, according to my mom. My mom who wants me to repeat some mantra eleven times a day and fast for eleven Tuesdays, as this will help me get a good life partner. She did not respond to the fact that God delayed my flight for two more hours as we sat at the gate waiting for a storm to pass. Also, my dad is still angry at me, though he was calmer on the phone last night.)

Our wings are not tired.

P-C, I know it's hard, especially when your parents are trying to punish you, but this first step of asserting your independence was crucial. They're extremely attached to you, and even with fantastic relationships in the best of circumstances, the separation can be difficult.

Was it the seasonal shot? That one hurt for a couple of days. H1N1, however, was pain-free.

Yeah, practically nobody in NYC has the H1N1 shot yet.

This. Every word of it.
