[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.
I should, somewhere, have an old edition of Anne of Green Gables around. Nicked it from my Aunt's house years ago. Long before that time she gave me carte blanche to go through the old books up there.
I mean, I didn't mean to keep it. I'd borrowed it for the drive home. Just never got it back to her, and when she started letting me have at the books, figured, eh, what the hell?
I've read it. I've read almost all of those books. The earlier ones were the best ones. Of course the tv series with Megan Follows was best, with Richard Farnsworth and Colleen Dewhurst as Matthew and Marilla. Or that could just be my deep love for Dewhurst and Farnsworth talking.
askye, I'm glad you failed. I'm glad you're here, and I'm glad I got to know you a little--wish there was the opportunity to know you better, since I like what I know, a lot.

I love the first three. I thought Anne of Windy Poplars was kind of boring, and then Anne's House of Dreams just had way too many soap opera-ish subplots. (Like, really? Head trauma, amnesia, and identical cousins?) Then nothing much really happened in Anne of Ingleside, but I thought that Rainbow Valley was charming, and I really liked Rilla of Ingleside. (Except for the fact that Shirley seems to completely disappear, not only from the plot but from the characters' thoughts, which always bothered me.)
Oh, I like the part of Anne of Windy Poplars where she has to fight against the Pringles.
askye, I'm so glad you failed. That's the best and ultimately most joyful failure I've heard of. And I so hugely admire how much work you've put into rebuilding yourself, finding your way to a strong and loving life.
Srsly????
I just turned into a driveway just a tad too soon, and now I have a flat front tire and probably a bent rim to boot.
Any moment now will come the poke in the eye and the kick in the junk.
What JZ said.
Sean, at least the wheel didn't fall off. That's a surprise development when maneuvering in driveways, let me tell you. I actually caught myself saying "I disbelieve," as if there were a DM somewhere I could challenge.
And askye, happy multi-birthdays. You should give yourself two sets of presents and cake.
Ah there we are.... I have just bitten the inside of my upper lip.
(((Sean))). I've btdt.
