As an example of how reality is infinitely stranger than anything I could ever make up - I was out at lunchtime and there were earnest young people asking for donations to an environmental cause. I didn't get snagged by the one on my block because as I walked by she was deep in conversation with a man who told her that before he could make any contributions to saving the Earth he had to work on his home ... and he's from Jupiter.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.
Spike ,'Potential'
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.
(For the cost of a plane ticket to & from, I will happily be your personal shopper. I will go through your closet, figure out what outfit combinations you can do with what you already have, and then help you find the pieces you still need. Plus, I'd get to see you!)
I would LOVE this. I desperately need someone to force me to pull everything out of my closet and help me sort through it. Megan Walker started the process with me last year and was awesome, and I know you would be too. Right now I really just need a couple of good interview outfits (and I do have a few things that work, but not enough to feel confident) because I bought a bunch of great new pants last year...and then gained ten pounds back and can't wear any of them. ARGH. Since I'm interviewing for a director position, I need to find some conservative (yet quirky, because I'm still me), well-made, quality outfits that will impress the people at the ritzy private school.

Yep. But weekends I'm free! (Um, except for the weekends of April 10 & 17, because I have GCS events.)

the natural sugars from the tall glass of Orange Juice have worn off. Brain shutting down now. must nap. Alas, at work, can't nap. If I whine like a 5 year old, do ya think they will let me go take a nap?
