Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ooh, what brand is this, I need to exfoliate my legs like whoa.

Vortex, it's Origins, and the smell is amazing. The body souffle is quite lovely, too. Hydrating without being greasy.

When I worked at the Lancome counter at Dillard's in grad school, the Origins counter was right by, and my best friend worked there. We got a lot of freebies.

Origins has wonderful body and face care products, although their daily moisturizers don't have SPF. From Origins, I would rec the Ginger Souffle, the Incredible Spreadable Ginger scrub, Night-A-Mins night facial treatment and the Skin Diver mask w/ charcoal. Check them out at Origins.com.

Are you in Boston, Vortex? There's an Origin's store in Harvard Square.

Nope, DC. I can probably get it at Macy's or summat, right?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Love how the kink discussion moved into a linguistic one. Language change is fascinating (but I also like terms that are usefully specific).

I'd be tempted to document this and file a complaint after everything is over.

I would, too. That's unacceptable.

Any recommendations on a GOOD Early Modern English dictionary?

Vortex, looks likes there's stores on Mass Ave, and on Conn Ave NW, in DC proper, and a couple in Arlington. There are also counters in, yep, Macy's.

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.

I got a Burt's Bees tinted lip gloss yesterday, and now I can't find it. Thbbbpt.

Also, had a Buffista dream last night. Smonster and I, and someone else, amyth, I think, but didn't lay dream-eyes on her, were at some kind of cabin in the woods. Yay. We were on vacation, and I think maybe we had our kids (?!?) with us. But it was really hard to relax when there were hunters sitting around at the base of a big tree ten feet from the cabin. Not that I can't abide the existence of hunters - many of whom are responsible, and respectful of nature. But I don't want to be in the middle of buck season for a vacation spot, and these guys were drinking and cleaning their guns, like a living, breathing public service announcement.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hmm, that's a little unsettling, to be sure.

Too bad you're not River, Hil. Because you could kill him with your brain.ETA: And I don't mind knowing that I used a word improperly, but it's sort of culture-wide at this point. I'll stop doing it, though.

Also, bonny, how is Niki doing today?

How inappropriate. You should take your 6-pack with you to the deer blind, like god intended. You clean your gun with the subsequent hang-over. Or your heirs do it for you. Whichever.
