So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I wouldn't do that to my great-grandfather! Besides, he'd be a little old and leathery to bake.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Leathery cobbler? Blink, blink.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Man. I went out with a guy from OKC tonight. We went to hang at a friends' house, and before you know it they were shooting fireworks. Into the neighbor's yard, at each other, over the house. They put one in the thing upside down (accidentally) so it didn't shoot into the air and exploded right there on the deck, ten feet from me. NB: these people are my age or older, and sober.

Then we went back to his place, and climbed up onto the roof to watch the fireworks over the river miles away, which was kind of cool. They set off one more "flying fish" in the backyard, and my date jumped through it like a sprinkler. The other folks left, and we chatted for a while, and I'm pretty sure he wanted to make out, but what can I say? Jackassery is kind of a turnoff, unless you are actually Johnny Knoxville. Him I might make out with.

Home and to bed. Oh, my text alert just went off. I hope that's not him. I'm not sure what to say.

Fuuuck, it was him.

"Thanks for coming over this evening, and being a holiday makes it really nice. Your [sic] as attractive as your pics, thank god, sexier than I imagined and much smarter than I was prepared for :) Maybe we'll get to do it again."

I am feeling ambivalent. He's cute, yeah, and maybe I caught him on a stupid night? I don't know.

eta I responded, "As long as no one shoots fireworks at me or each other. I wasn't ready for that." And no reply...

eta again "So I can't bring my friends :) Fair enough"

Doesn't sound very promising.

The "your attractive as your pics, thank god " part makes me grimace a little.

He is correct about your smartness and sexiness though.

Heh. And not just because of the wrong "your." IDEK, y'all. Dating.

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

Not gonna lie, I don't think he should bring even himself to your next meeting. Not the guy for you, smonster. Dating sucks. But dating a jackass is worse.

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

Eh, he was probably a little drunk, testosteroned out on your hawtness and overcompensating. Try a 2nd date with just the two of you, and see.

I'll happily set up a code-text at a certain time for you, so you can "attend my friend's medical emegency in Houma!" ASAP!

Unless he really turned you off totally. Then fuck it!

Sober. Doesn't drink. Don't know if he's in recovery but wouldn't be surprised.

IDK, these are old old friends of his, not random acquaintances. Like, he's known one a couple of decades.

I stayed up too late and can't get to sleep. Also, I didn't really have dinner (had a super late lunch with Nora and Tom) so I got up and ate a couple of muffins (whitey). Took some melatonin and I'm going to try and go to sleep again.
