I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I went with lots of bright colors for the house after so many years of apartment living, where I couldn't paint. I worry sometimes that it is too much, but it does make me happy.

I also have a facebook friend annoying me. One of my close friends from high school is moving to this area, and I have sent him messages twice (several months apart) letting him know I am in the are and would love to see him. He hasn't responded at all. We haven't remained close since high school, but we were never on anything but good terms with each other so I have no idea why he would choose to ignore me.

sj, it's possible he hasn't noticed the messages? Not sure how often he's on facebook, but it's been really sporadic lately about whether it chooses to tell me someone has messaged me. And then it'll randomly decide a message I got and ignored a month ago should suddenly be highlighted as new and showing up.

It's possible, but the last one I just put as a reply to his post about moving here. I know I take things personally that I probably shouldn't.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Black nail polish is not forgiving.

He could have a lot going on. God knows I've let things slip in the last two months. And you wouldn't know it from the outside because I haven't wanted to let anyone in on the painful parts until recently and still not publicly.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I get notifications about every fifth time. Maybe cause I'm all "Make me, motherfucker," about the stupid timeline.

Because books.

They say taupe is very soothing.

I know you feel awful, but you made me laugh.

I do feel awful. But I find the movie comforting. And making my friends smile helps me try and smile as well. If only for a moment.

I know what you mean. I've never been to Belize.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Now that I am approaching home-ownership (rather than renting) I am worried about this. I have no sense for color/decoration.

Having just had a wee F2F with Perkins and juliana at juliana and her Canadian's new place, my best suggestion would be to bribe juliana to visit so she can do a walkthrough and advise you. Her place is *amazing*. I just wanted to move in forever and lick all the walls, they were so gorgeous.
