I said, I should be so lucky, which got the reaction you'd expect.
I can't help but grin at the salty reputation you have no doubt developed with this group.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.
'Bushwhacked'
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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy belated birthday, ChiKat!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Ugh. Have been asleep most of the afternoon. Supposed to be working on the Dissertation From Purgatory. And no one has told me whether or not I'm needed at a thing at church this evening that I was going to volunteer at, but then there were e-mails about whether or not I was needed, and the e-mails stopped without resolution, and now I can't get hold of the organizer, and ugh.
I am horrible during this dissertation. The Girl is going to Israel on Tuesday, and we're trying to decide whether she should stay there longer than planned, until my deadline has passed. So that I can't kill her.
If I actually do end up doing a PhD, I'm moving into a hotel for the final three months. I'll save up for it.

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.
What I did Friday night:
Alex, I'll take "Knot taught in Scouts" for 400, please. Very neat, Teppy. Was that as much painstaking work as I think it was?
Poor Seska, I'm sorry that your dissertation is being such a... a... dissertation. Dissertations, right up there with polar bears.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's super cool, Tep.

rope corset, front; rope corset, back, rope gauntlet.
And they say macrame's not cool.

The only painstaking part was weaving the skinny white rope into the inverted V shapes on the front of the corset. The rest of it is REALLY easy and fairly quick. You just make a larkshead, loop the rope through the larkshead, wrap the rope around the arm (or torso), and go back and forth with it. The gauntlet and the corset are done exactly the same way -- just different locations.
(The top part of the corset -- the part that goes around the neck and across the chest -- isn't actually part of a rope corset; it's a different thing, and most rope corsets are made without it. The bottom part of the corset -- the part that went down in front of the general pants-zipper area -- is ALSO not part of a rope corset; I just had leftover rope and wanted to do something decorative with it.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That is really cool, Teppy.

How are you feeling today, Anne?
