'Shells'
[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.
Excellent work, P-C. It does get easier. I hope your mother gets the clue sooner rather than later, though, because easier doesn't mean it's never not hard.

Hil, I hope you end up with some great offers so that you can use them to negotiate for better perqs or money.
FREE CHOCOLATE FUCK YEAH!
I can see why you are enthusiastic.
My favorite kind of chocolate? FREE!
My favorite kind of fuck? CHOCOLATE!

This.
I high five you, P-C.
Go you , P-C!
and very cool , Hil. sonds like things are going pretty well. and meeting a cute boy that has a lot of similar interest - bonus!, even if he has a girlfriend
I must pretend there was no talk of drink, I have some work to do for tomorrow.
and I will forget about bejeweled ladybits -- until I have the chance to use in a conversation that will stop people cold. I hang with a crowd that thinks there are pretty knowledgeable -- but were astonished to find out certain names like 'brazillian' or 'landing strip'
I high five you, P-C.
This is becoming exhausting. And ANNOYING. I want to ask her to tell me stories of how I learned to read so I can share them with you, but she can't talk about anything but this goddamn necklace!
P-C, it may always be hard, but you've made a huge step in your own growth and in your relationships just by having these conversations. So much strength to you. (And it'll get easier.)
(Aaaaand, I x-posted. Fuck strengh and growth, I want adorkable baby!P-C learning to read, damnitall!)

Is it just me, or is it a little weird to send the bride and groom a request to "crash" at our place the night of the reception? I mean, it's not our wedding night, but still. My parents are staying with us, so we don't have room anyway, but it just made me uncomfortable.
They're good people (friends of Drew's), and I like them and know that money is tight, but...I don't know. Just seemed odd to even ask.
ETA: And she emailed back after I said we didn't have room b/c of my parents and was very gracious about it and said they would figure something out, so I feel bad for even saying anything here. Ah well. I think I'm just tired and a little crabby tonight.
It's probably just a reflection on how at ease and welcoming you are, in general, Kristin.
