[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.

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.
From what I read last night, confession is still a tell-all-your-lurid-secrets dealio.
I believe that in some parishes at least, they will do a general confession/absolution during the service - which is frowned up by their higher-ups, and yet, they do it that way anyway. In those parishes, the priests will still make themselves available for those, usually older people, who prefer the old fashioned one-to-one confession. Of course, my knowledge of Catholic churches in America comes mostly from Andrew Greeley novels, so what do I know?

How did I end up being the person who gets into a political fight on Facebook with one of my best friend's MOTHERS? I've known this woman for 21 years, spent holidays at her house, and she just fucking defriended me on Facebook.
The Internet is so bizarre.

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
Honestly, Amyth, had she known all these years what a seekrit kenyan muslim communist socialist you were all these years she'd have never had you over to begin with...

Yeah, for real.
The best part? Her son and his wife just had a baby last Friday, and I'm the closest thing that baby has to a godmother, so we're going to be seeing a LOT more of each other in the coming years, so she can suck it.

I'm just *daring* someone to do that to me...I have about five million Alan Grayson quotes I could use. Or Rahm's "Fuck this up and I'll kill you. I love you, bye bye." They probably know that, too, of course.

My sympathies, amyth. I am SO ready to defriend the lion's share of my face-to-face friends. They have no clue how to be internet friends and it's driving me nuts. Also, a number of them need to buy a sense of humor.
