So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Oh yay! Has she been sewing?

She has, a little. Not as much as I'd like, but I'm not pushing her. She made herself a "pocket" first, and is thinking about what she wants to make next. Yesterday, we looked at clothing patterns. She saw a shirt (that would be really easy to turn into a dress) with an almost Elizabethan type sleeve that she really liked, and I thought it rather appropriate, so we may try that one.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm still irked by the showing vs. telling critic... one of her favorite books is Twilight.

Yes, because Stephanie Meyer is sooo good at showing not telling. (my eyes have rolled away)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

OK Barb, hope you don't mind if I get extremely silly for a moment. Visualize this, please: the self doubt bunnies are made of raw bacon and covered with glitter. They are terrified, running for their lives from your Lab and a stuffed devil bunny. And as they vanish over the horizon, you chant "don't hear you, don't see you. You are nothing to me. And how in the world can a nothing scare me?" This sort of visualization sometimes works for me. (I stole the chant from a children's book.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I bought these socks. I *had* to. They were made for me. (I also bought these, because they just seemed awesome.)

Sock Dreams is a dangerous place, mang. I could spend $500 there, easily.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I love Sock Dreams. A lot.

Kittenish keeps reaching her paw at me from where she's curled half on / half off my lap. I don't know her intentions but I keep high fiving her. And telling her she's awesome.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The SP movie is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which is also the title of the second book.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Wishing you less self-doubt, Barb. I love Typo Boy's approach to it.

I use theater for where you go to see a movie and theatre for live shows as is right and proper.

This is 100% correct.

Unless you're in the UK, where theatre is for a live show, and we talk of going to the cinema for movies.

I have to be escorted by a Designated Adult if I go into the Sock Dreams store. Whooo, so many tights and stockings and socks!

(Which reminds me, I need to check my stash of b&w and pink & white stripes.)

I need to borrow Pete for this. He's mean, but he does only let me spend what I plan ahead.

Mmm, sockses with toeses.
