Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
[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.
Ooh! You should send him special Dad Redacted editions.
The funniest thing is, I don't think he's going to get the zombie YA I'm doing, either. But he certainly loves to pimp my books to his friends and their wives, and, like, people at the grocery store, so.
I didn't know you were writing a zombie YA!

She is, and ... ahem! Waiting for more, thanks!
I have a great relationship with both my parents, but I'm closer to my dad.
She is, and ... ahem! Waiting for more, thanks!
Heh. I know how that goes! I'm waiting for my friend to give me more of the sequel to her zombie political thriller.
She is, and ... ahem! Waiting for more, thanks!
How much have you gotten, Jilli? I haven't gotten any in forever! ::glares::
My Dad and I were really close until I hit puberty. He didn't know what to do with a teen girl...
me too! And then we discovered a mutual love of target shooting.
coffee...
I am good to go for the f2f!

Oh, I haven't gotten any in forever, either. I'm just taking the chance to poke at her here and say "Zombies? I like zombies ..."
It really depends on the sitch whom I'm closer to. Well, now. I was always closer to my grandmother growing up. She was, in many ways, my soul mate. She got me in ways neither of my parents ever could. Or tried. My mother continues to see me as a younger version of herself, complete with the capacity to make monumental mistakes. My dad, though, has started to get me in recent years. We can talk about almost anything (except sex) and I usually go to him before I go to my mom.
I am so much closer to my mom it's ridiculous. My dad is a generally nice, agreeable, very intelligent, completely emotionally tone-deaf individual who cannot find his way through mess and sadness (which have defined something like 2/3 of the course of my entire life so far) without a very, very clear script. We have a decent relationship (for limited values of decent) solely because I work very hard at lowering my expectations, being very explicit about what I want and need, and not letting myself get upset if he disappoints me--which is usually when I've failed to be clear about what I need from him.
My mom and I, OTOH, get each other so quickly and easily that we're almost telepathic.
My biggest fear with Matilda (who I think right now has a slight preference for Hec, but who definitely goes back and forth between us) is that some of my own shitty emotional and communicative habits will get worse as I get older, I'll become more and more like my dad and less like my mom, and by the time she's 40 she and I will have the same relationship my dad and I have.
