I love you, too, honey.
Amazing how shaving and the simplest of grooming habits can make you feel so much better.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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 find a shower and scented body lotion make me feel better, for what that's worth.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay, Erin!
Any plans to go outside today? I find that often helps my depression.

Happy haircut, Erin!
You go, Aims and Erin, for your early morning productivity in the face of cruel insomnia.
I am sad to report that my hip and back are still hurting pretty badly. Dr. Mike the chiropractor, you let me down! Phooey.

Coffee and smokes: I got my paycheck issue sorted, and will have a paper check to deposit later today. Yay!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, Vortex. I'm currently in the throes of the impossible. I'm trying to (co-) write a Supernatural fanfic, and I want to set it in a predominantly black area near DC or NY. Somewhere middle or upper middle class. Like, with an engineer father and a teacher mother. I need context, and I might need dialogue help. I got the Jamaican bits covered, but I'm not so good at African American.

ita, when you say near do you mean a suburb? PRince Georges county (Aka "PG county") is a predominantly(? At least in the public consciousness, I think in actuality too) African-American area. Theres some nice neighborhoods in it.

Is it black enough that two white guys from out of town would stand out?

ita, if it's contemporary, Prince George's County is a good choice for the suburbs; some neighborhoods in DC are having an influx of well-to-do people (raising the question of whether "gentrification" can refer to non-whites). Petworth, perhaps, or Shaw, or Columbia Heights. If you wanted to set it in the late 19th/early 20th century, Georgetown used to be predominately black, although fairly working class.
And, for your amusement, there's a neighborhood called Trinidad. Not middle class ... but I used to be able to start my day off by catching a bus to Trinidad.

It's contemporary, yes. I'd love to think black people can gentrify. Lord knows we can be snotty enough.
