Laura, we saw erinaceous today (and her husband) and I told her that you used Wordnik as your first dictionary stop. She was very pleased.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?
'Trash'
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.

Our wings are not tired.
Wordnik is fun! I am doing a lot of writing for work and it helps my insecurity with word usage when I see the examples. Spell check takes care of the simple dictionary stuff. Wordnik reassures me that people really use that word that way.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Happy B-day, ChiKat! I only just realized I hadn't subbed to the new Bitches so I'm way behind.
Has anyone ever bought stuff from myshape.com? I kind of love the idea of it. It's a clothes shopping aggregator, from what I can tell, but you set up a fairly exhaustive profile with preferences and measurements, so what they show you in a search is profiled to what will fit and, hopefully, flatter. From what I've seen so far they seem to be hitting things well. It leans a little toward the pricy side but there's definitely a lot that's reasonable. They've got a big sale going on this weekend so I thought I'd mention.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy birthday ChiKat!
I spent 5 hours learning how to maintain my bike today. Fun, but then I was too tired to go for a ride, as I had half planned. Tomorrow morning, though, gonna check out the sweet action on my perfectly adjusted shifters.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You know what I hate?
I hate it when I act like an asshole for no good reason and then have to apologize for it.
I hate it a lot.

Hil! I missed your birthday. Happy belated birthday, and I hope it was grand!

Wordnik is on my toolbar. I love that tool.

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.
It now costs $185, that's over 18 hours' wages, for me to see a doctor. And I have insurance.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I hate it when I act like an asshole for no good reason and then have to apologize for it.
I'm with you. I ruined last night by being a sodding idiot. I'm trying to work out how to apologise. (Being in pain all the time makes me cranky, and generally sucks - but is a reason, not an excuse.)

Flippin' 'eck that's a lot. Note to self: moving to the States would be expensive.
