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.

“Not dead yet!”
As typos go, this sits on a scale from 1 to awesome.
I was thinking the same thing.

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.
I think we should have an Introvert Seating at the next F2F -- in that seating,we could have laptops and stress-balls, tumblers of water for Xanax chugging.
No one talks or goes over there and you can just kinda chill, watch things if you want, and no one bugs you until you come out.
I propose we call it "The Diogenes Club".

The status is NOT quo.
Leaping to the end because as I was catching up, I read this:
I am incredibly social person (yes, I know, shut up) and I can only imagine how hard it is in general, and how hard it is for you with the Buffistas. So many of us thrive on the social interaction that we forget that sometimes people need a break (I remember when Laura's DH came to his first F2F and I saw him sitting alone, so I went over to chat, and he was very amused that I was the 3rd person to come over to check on him to make sure that he wasn't feeling excluded. He was just overwhelmed :) )
All I can say is that I know that none of us want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, and I also know that we crazy people WILL respect your boundaries if you let us know, so please don't feel awkward about telling us to back off. And if someone doesn't, feel free to sic me on them (THE WRATH OF THE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIES!!!)and it made me need to say that I t heart Vortex. Now back to read the rest of the 100+ posts I've missed.

OMG, you guys, my ex-fiance (from over 20 years ago) just friended me on FB. I don't know if I should be flattered or run away screaming. I mean, I'm the one who sent him the invite. But I figured after 20 years, who the hell cares what happened then? It's just kind of nice to know he's still out there and thinking of me. (He sent me an e-mail about two weeks ago. One sentence. "I think of you when I play Patsy Cline.") I'll admit my heart skipped a beat, but I'm not looking to start anything up. I'm just fucking curious to know what he's been doing for the past 20 years!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Playing Patsy Cline, apparently. I'm guessing it's an off-Broadway show.

Hee. I think there's an implied "on my radio/stereo/iPod" in there somewhere.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hee. I think there's an implied "on my radio/stereo/iPod" in there somewhere.
I prefer to think of your ex-fiance as a drag queen performing off-broadway as Patsy Cline.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
smonster monster meara!
But seriously, I'm an extrovert and even I am with some regularity in the midst of a party or bar thinking "why is everyone else having more fun? They're talking to each other cause they like each other more than me. I don't belong here and Clearly am ridiculous and awkward and making a fool of myself and they only pity me". And then I end up making out with people. What can I say?
Uh. I'm meara, shocker. I think I've shared this with some of you before, but one of the reasons I dance so much at the Prom is because it saves me from having to interact with people. Also, Madison f2f (me, not you).
WindSparrow, a song or prayer would be perfect. Hmm. I bet I've got something in one of my buddhist books... will check.
On particularly challenging days at work, I will go to the bathroom splash my face and wash my hands and do that. It helps me.
Ah, if only I had a bathroom. Or running water.
What did I *do*? Oh God, what did I *say*? - comes back and bites me later.
Ahaha Seattle f2f (me, not you).
Me too! it's why I often room alone at the F2F. I love you all, but when I need to be alone, I NEED to be alone. I get cranky otherwise (apologies to my awesome roommates in Seattle, juliana and smonster for when I just got super bitchy and sensitive out of nowhere).
I have... absolutely no memory of this. I just remember being embarrassingly sick and hungover and oh so grateful to have somewhere to crash for the day and eat my $10 bagel with peanut butter.
I'm a huge extrovert who loves having people around me most of the time,
You know, this is going to sound crazy, but I'm not sure I knew that. I thought you were more of an introvert. I mean, I know I knew your MBTI at one point but I've forgotten.
but who also just happens to have the occasional panic attack and the occasional seizure, so my brain is an unpredictable and messy mine field, both in the emotional and physical sense. Thankfully, both of these happen very infrequently in the grand scheme of things. Unfortunately, there are Buffistas who have been privy to each, which I feel the irrational desire to apologize for, and also cringe over.
Girl, you've seen me at my worst in so many ways. I know it's irrational, but really - that's what friends are for.
Anon I will share about my day, but first I must eat more. Still hungry. It was relatively calm.
