When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[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.

The status is NOT quo.

ND is in Orlando until Monday. And then for much of the spring.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Some of us haven't had a chance to watch yet!

Perils of a NAFDA thread go above and beyond revealing casting that was in the previews.

I can't believe they still get your money, ZenKitty, so I wouldn't be as nice with them as people are recommending.

Zen, they definitely owe you your money back. That's absurd.

Our wings are not tired

I'm mainly lamenting the fact I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

As for Orlando I'm here today but hope to actually catch a flight back tommorow if there are no problems with the shows today.

Congrats on the house, Laura! Good luck with the purging and simplifying. I am terrible at that part.

That's wack, Zen. it certainly sounds as if you have been extraordinarily easy-going about the whole thing and getting a little screwed, but just pulling out of the whole situation is probably the best way to avoid drama.

New hair. Finally. It has needed to be cut for some time. I think I like this length. I suppose I could try doing something other than towel dry and run out the door, but that is as much fuss as I am likely to devote to it. [link]

I hope you get to escape, ND. I'll send you a note later in case you are still around tomorrow. Running out to do stuff now.

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'd be tempted to write them a bullet point letter:

  • BEFORE you accept someone's money for a room share you need to explain that they will be sleeping on the floor.

  • I'm sorry if there was initial confusion, but I did not ask for that money back when I took another room for several nights. You still have it.

  • I may still need my spot in your room on Thursday. Since you have my money that spot is still mine.

  • If you return the money for all four nights, I will not stay with you on Thursday.

Of course, when things are that obvious there is no point in trying to "explain" them. But maybe they'll show your mean mean MEAN email to their friends, some of whom will begin to realize that they are assholes.

Laura, that's really pretty.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Sorry ND. Hope the show goes well enough to get you home.

Very pretty, Laura!
