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.

Good luck with finding someone, omnis.

Great painting, Aims. And the room... big! (Or is the dog small?)

As for commas, I don't care: even though I learned to leave the comma outside of the quotation marks, as long as there is uniformity in the usage of it I'm a happy girl.

Started looking for a part time job (because I need to save money somehow to visit all of you!), and I just sent my resume to something I'd really like to do, so ~ma would be very appreciated.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Or is the dog small?

The dog is small. Like his brain.

Well, at least he's pretty.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm with Hec and omnis on the comma, sorry.

Definitely a wedding dress. Definitely a bizarre choice for a pic on a personals site. BTW, I don't think of OKCupid as exclusively a hookup site. I think it can be used for meeting friends, even if hookups are the main thing most people seem to be looking for.

Got MASSIVE headache from drinking OJ (first time ever for that) and had no choice but to go to bed early. Woke up at 3am. Couldn't get back to sleep. Gronk.

move out and draw fire

"Our forefathers fought a war so that we could put the comma inside the quotation marks. Don't let their sacrifices be in vain!"

Actually, I think it makes more sense outside, as does other punctuation that is not part of what you're quoting, but I had a boss once who sent the above to everyone in the office, and I sort of loved him for it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I agree, but it looks so weird. Not just because of what I'm accustomed to (because I always have to think about it) but because the comma just sort of dangles when its outside an endquote.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yes! This. What the hell, non-Americans (and American rebels)? Make things neat and tidy!

Oatmeal:

Randomly, here's my follow-up on e-mailing my friend that I couldn't make it to her wedding:

In her e-mail, she not only asked if we could make it, but also said it had been a while since we had seen each other, and asked how things were going.

An unfortunately timed question, that.

So, I told her that Tim's mom died, and that some other stressful things had happened around the same time, and it was hard, but we were doing basically okay.

WHAT. SHE ASKED.

No response from her. Zero. I realize she's busy planning a wedding on the other side of the continent, but seriously, DON'T ASK ME WHAT'S GOING ON IF YOU DON'T ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT. Just ask whether I'm coming to your wedding or not and don't bother with pleasantries if you don't give a damn about the answer of how I'm doing.

God DAMN. I'll send a place setting, but please cordially fuck right the hell off.

Always Anti-fascist!

bitch. Although I must admit that I have asked the same question hoping for a quick "fine," but not from a real friend. On this end, today started with a rejection. I always hate that, but so many of the stories we get at our journal are so AWFUL. If any of the disabled Bitches want to try your hands at it, I'd consider it a great favor.
