Buffy ,'Get It Done'
[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.
Andi has agreed that I need to post this here.
From a few nights ago when Julia Sweeney tried to kill me while driving home, listening to her tell the story of how she fell into "The Talk" with her then 8-year-old daughter:
Probably NSFW, but really? it should be.
oh. my. goodness. High-Lar-Ious!
Aw, Ginger. There's no better person for your dog than you.
This is very true. I have seen and witnessed this. Mr. Peabody needs you.

After jumping through a kazillion hoops to change health plans, and finding a doctor that actually knows what the hell MDA is other than a frakkin telethon, the stupid HMO assigns some random doctor near home, instead of the doctor I listed that is on the campus I work at. @@ Why is health insurance companies such a pain in the ass?

Yeah, Mu always was (and apparently still is) a never ending font of hilarity.
Hil, that's a beautiful apartment!
Ugh, that's frustrating, omnis. Hope they get their act together.
I am seriously cranky with my dislocated back joint. Can't go anywhere without The Girl, who is still in fifteen-hour-day rehearsals/teching/shows. Might get to the doctor tomorrow if TG can get a morning off. GRR ARGH.
Hil, the apartment looks great!
(((Seska))) Feel better.
Is it irrational to NOT want certain people to call you by a nickname? A nickname that several others use regularly? And not so much people as one person?
Mom rant ahead, be warned. So, my mother wants to go to this "reunion" thing that an old friend of hers, M, is planning. It's for a group of people that I knew when I was 8, I don't really remember them and I don't really care, even though my mother tried to act like I would get some benefit. She tells me the date a few weeks ago, but has no other info.
I wasn't particularly interested in going, but I said I would take her. She says she's going to call me back that day with little details like time, location, etc. I don't hear from her for about a week. Late last night, I noticed that she called and left a message saying that she wanted to talk about this thing. I call her back this morning, and she says that it's today at 6PM in the suburbs. I said "hey, 6PM is a bad time around here, the traffic is a nightmare." Mom agrees, says that she doesn't know why M set that time.
So, I say, well, I'll leave around 6 to avoid the worst of the traffic, let her know that we'll be late to the party. Then Mom says "um, well, it's a dinner party, so we really shouldn't be that late." This is the first I've heard about it being a dinner party, which is a different thing.
This is so typical of my mother. Me personally, I believe that if you ask someone to do something for you, you make it as easy as possible and you give them the maximum amount of time and information. My mother thinks nothing of calling me the day of and expecting me to just up and leave work early for this bullshit.

No, you should be called what you want to be called. Actually it's easier if only one person calls you that because you can say "I prefer to be called X " and when they say "but bob calls you Y", you can say "yeah, that's our thing, and I don't like it when someone else calls me Y"
