I have a working dishwasher!
OK, probably not that exciting to anybody but me. But I hate having to stand at the sink to wash dishes.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

being threatening if you don't particularly feel the need to have people like you
It's a blessing and a curse. It helps you get shit done, but people think that you're arrogant. Which bothers me, but not enough for me to change the way I am.

I've always wondered why some women have called me intimidating or acted like I frightened them. I try not to be overtly threatening to anyone--unless I want to--but there are women who act like they expect me to eat their children and barbecue the dog.

I need to step away from Science Based Medcine blog for awhile, I love it but I keep getting sucked into the threads with the crazy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I've had women ask me why I hated them. People I really hadn't spoken to much or felt one way or the other about.
Never been told I was intimidating or frightening, just that they thought I didn't like them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Did Amy Tuteur post something new, Askye? She always seems to attract the most venom.
I'm babysitting for a three month-old who is asleep on the futon next to me. Too adorable for words.

Some women expect a lot of stroking, I think. I've also gotten that a lot. Probably without the stepmonster I might have grown up Complinsult free...I guess she did me a favor, but in a sick way. Still ain't right when your dad marries a Mean Girl.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
When I hate it the most is when I don't *even like* the other person, yet I don't want her/him to think I'm a jerk. Who cares? They're a jerk. Right?
erika is me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
All I can seem to come up with is, "Uh, sorry. I guess I'm standoffish at first."

If you can't be beloved by an asshole, what's the point, right?ETA: DJ, yeah, actually, I'm a private person. Not at all the kind of woman to start chats in the bathroom stall or things like that...some women seem to hate this and call it bitchy but it really is hard for me to let people in my life.
