My biggest grammar/spelling STOP DOING THAT is
...people who abuse apostrophe-s. Grrrrrrr.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Loose/lose also bugs me out of all proportion. And it could just be a typo, so really I should learn to overlook.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yes, you should!
Who, me?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
it's/its is my biggest.
smonster, we have to have pix when you're done! If you weren't getting a salon do, I'd recommend Feria's Cardinal. I have lots of luck with it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I work with someone who's barely literate, and academically it's somewhat fascinating the errors he makes. Unsurprisingly he avoids emailing at all cost, which is tough for me because I need a written record.
In professional publications, though, stuff like that drives me batshit.

Shift done! Off to bank and then salon. There will be pics. And thanks for the hair color rec. I will have to remember that, as I can't afford salon color, really.

In completely random news, I had decided that, if I were to ever get married (btw, we had a guarded marriage convo this weekend -- we both admitted the thought is bouncing around in both our heads! OMGWTFBBQ) I would get a custom made corset. Overbust, sweetheart, a dark forest/moss green velvet with dark rose watered silk laces and edging. This would go with a A-line full white knee-length skirt with a pale pink taffeta overlay.
Pale pink teeny fishnets and silver 40's dancer's shoes.
And that's what I would wear.

BTW, Perkins, we should definitely do beignets. I didn't want to further hijack Movies to set it up and further loose social capital...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
She did that on purpose. Then topped it with a neat little bit of instant coffee provocation.
