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.

I think you should text him, it seems like a reasonable thing to say/do. I don't think it's passive aggressive or needy.

But then, I'm single, so what the hell do I know.

(ha, I was gonna say, I'm married and don't deal with this stuff anymore, what do I know?)

One of the reasons I don't think it's passive aggressive is that you're new in town, so you actually don't know this stuff.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yeah, I mean, I don't really know a good place to watch the fireworks. And we had talked about it a bit the other night.

I don't fucking know. I'm actually pacing in my kitchen. Sometimes I really wish that I wasn't so quick to fall for people, but it is what it is and I am who I am.

I have indeed been to Sucre: see blog entry [link]. Wow, it's been almost exactly a year.

Ooooh.

Actually, the rose and violet chocolates are being sold at Rouse's (on Tchoup, at least)and Whole Foods, which makes temptation very hard to overcome. I will, however, endeavor to try Jilli's favorites in the near future and report back.

Even more oooh! Really, I'm just motivated by the rose and violet chocolates. Those are my holy grails of chocolate flavors.

smonster, I would send a text, but not that text. I'd just say something like "Hey, have a good 4th!"

Aw, smonster. You should do what feels natural to you. Be who you are. Because that's what he should think he is awesome!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I would not text him. I don't want to sound like a "Rules girl," but I think really early on, giving the other person a bit of room to come toward you is good for two reasons. First, you know they want to hang out with you, which is very relaxing and second, they get some time to realize for themselves that they want to hang out with you.

That being said, I spent a good part of my life being the one who emailed or called the other person right away, so make of that what you will.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I don't see anything wrong with texting him; maybe something like "Happy 4th! I'm looking for a good place to watch fireworks, and a fun person to watch them with! Suggestions? You game?"

Light, friendly, open.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

erika, I'm sorry about your friend.

Did you get to the Eno this year, or did you decide to forego the heatstroke?

Oh, I went. It was very nice--I got to see two owls and pet a corn snake, as well as hear some music, get my yearly henna tat, shop for crafts, etc. Then I came home and was basically useless for a day and a half. Totally worth it.

smonster, I hope you get to see fireworks with St. W.

I went with the neutral and geeky, "Have you finished watching Firefly yet?" Aaaand he's already responded. He's on episode 8.

And I just invited him to come over and watch more with me.
