Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
[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.
Here we not only get two days off for Easter, but this year it runs into Anzac Day, we we're having a five-day weekend. We had church today. Wallybee was singing, I was looking after the little boy, who was a delight. Very cheerful, taken with all the decorations and lights, and quite happy to stay put.
Tomorrow we're off to the Aquarium. They have king penguins and gentoo penguins; Ryan should get a kick out of seeing them in person, I think. (My sole motive. Honest.)
Happy Springtime Holiday everyone!
I made so many deviled eggs.
Some people look for reasons to be offended.
To be fair, the poor girl (not Girl) was actually looking for answers. Alas, I am not the person to provide them.
The Girl is very impressed with Easter. "That's the most joyful that Church of England members ever get," she said.

Ooh! Please to send my way.

There's a great to-do in some circles about how the CofE doesn't allow kissing at the altar during a wedding, ie, the Royal Wedding. Well, great to-do for values re: people who feel the need to have great to-do's about other people's weddings in other people's churches according to other people's faiths.
Congrats on the bout, Cash! Let's have some more details!
ION, does anyone have experience with phlox? I want those gorgeous cascades and large bunches of phlox I'm seeing in gardens, but the little plastic thingies say plant then 6" from each other. Can I plant them a little closer to get that blanket of flowers effect I want? Or do I stick with the 6" things (heh, heh, heh, six inches thing...) and they will spread out naturally? (Xpost with Natter)
I had some deviled eggs at a restaurant, and they put a little touch of wasabi with the eggs yolk mash, and it was so good!
Brief rant: why do people think it's noteworthy to say (about themselves),"I love to laugh!"? I have seen it on so damn many profiles (elseweb; not here), and every single time I read it, I think, "Really? You love to laugh? Holy shit, that's amazing! Because most people I know fucking HATE it! In fact, I know a dude who will shiv anyone who tries to even make him smile! But YOU *love* to laugh?!? Holy crap, you are SO WHACKY AND UNIQUE!"
...I mean, really? Isn't that just a little silly to need to point out about oneself? Perhaps what they mean is that they have a great sense of humor. But if that's the case, they need to say that. (Despite the fact that a sense of humor is relative.)
Yes, I know it's petty, but I am so tired of reading it. It's just not some special personal trait, you know? (I kind of want to change my profile now to indicate that I will shiv anyone who tries to make me smile.)

The CofE might not allow it officially, but it happens at every wedding except royal (i.e. TV-broadcast) ones!
The Girl and her friend, who is a trainee minister in the MCC (gay-friendly denomination), wrote most of the liturgy that will be used at our wedding. When it came to the whole 'in the sight of God and the Church' thing, they left it in, for protest value. I'm going to grin widely when our priest declares us married in the sight of the Church!
Perhaps what they mean is that they have a great sense of humor. But if that's the case, they need to say that.
Equally, IMHO people who feel the need to say that they have a good sense of humour quite often don't. I concur with your rant, Teppy.

Maybe they mean that they're not some boring old stuffy fuddy-duddy who thinks fun is for children? "I love to laugh" is a strange thing to say, though. "Oh god! The laughter, it hurts, make it stop! Somebody, quick, punch me in the face!"

Hah--for some reason this brings to mind an image of a rogue wedding, hit and run style, held literally within sight of a church. "THEY CAN"T STOP US! WE ARE MARRIED WITHIN SIGHT OF A CHURCH!"
