Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

'Beneath You'


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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There was an article in the paper as to whether gentrification was strictly a white phenomenon, since the affluent blacks moving in were also displacing older residents who couldn't keep up with the prices and escalating taxes, which is why I mentioned it.

The neighborhood around Howard University might work - the students tend to be from upper/upper-middle class families and are known for being well - or at least very fashionably - dressed. It's Le Droit Park, fyi.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need it to be a family neighbourhood, although making the mother a university professor would work really well (although it would really smack of me writing my life).

Le Droit Park isn't exclusively university people - it's a long-established neighborhood.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Just had to share. While poking around on Amazon trying to replace my favorite necklace, I saw this: [link]

Which seems to be coming in without a picture, so it's second row left on this page:

They also seem to be fond of the cephalopods, tommyrot.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The good news: I got antibiotics and codeine for the Martian death flu.

The bad news: When I went to get ID to check in with, my driver's license wasn't in my purse. I can't remember the last time I took it out for something, so I don't even know where to start. Also, since antibiotics aren't magic, I still have no brain because the microbes ate it.

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

I did get out of the house for 2 hours, and I have gotten some more stuff done.

I've pretty much slammed into the wall o' insomnia tired at this point, but I did it will shiny hair, clean clothes and mascara.

Check jeans or jacket pockets, Ginger?

Yay, paycheck, smonster!

Sorry about the license, Ginger. I'm most likely to pull out my license when I'm signing up for something requiring the number or when getting carded for booze. So maybe you should check near a desk? Or where ever you unpack your booze, I guess, should you do so.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

A coat or purse I don't use regularly is where I would start.
