I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Buffy ,'Get It Done'


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.

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

I'm not surprised by P-C's father's stance. My parents would think I'm entirely crazy if I told them a pet was making me actually happy. Pleased, maybe, they'd be willing to allow but never actually emphasise with. It's a common developing country attitude as far as I've encountered it.

Of course, if a pet were making me happy, there would have been a significant tectonic shift of my psyche, and my parents would be excused drilling down further.

ita, have you posted that information with that phrasing before? Because I just got a massive deja vu reading that post.

I've talked about Jamaican attitudes to pets before. I don't know if I'm recycling myself, though.

It could be I'm suffering from a localized time portal. No biggie.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Barb! So much Awesome~ma to you and your book.

And thank you, all. It is incredible. Hollaback NYC had 5 years of stories before that happened.

We're one month old.

(Hey, it's not such hard work, as much as enabling a certain space to exist and "then see what happens". Well, apparently A Lot Happens).

And I've got no one to blame but you people. You're the ones who told me about Hollaback to begin with.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think P-C should get a kitty and name it Caucasian Devil Cat.

Also, thanks, Shir, for helping to make the world a better place and stuff....
