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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

{{{ SJ }}} I say find a corner and cry. Go sit in the car for more privacy. It really does help.

BT, quite lovely day. Can't help but think the last thing and item 2 are related. t /snerk

Flooring guys said they'd be here at 9. Not here yet. Damn it, I woke up early for this. On the plus side, lil bits of sun are poking thru the morning cloud cover, and I can see, in the summertime, they won't go in my bedroom windows for quite awhile. So no glaring sun first thing like I was worried about.

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

Personally, I think showers are THE WORST, at the risk of sounding like Miranda-Hobbes-Has-A-Terrible-Accident. But I do hate them(maybe Buffista ones would be cooler) but mostly, they're like feminism(and disability rights) never happened. Being the pathetic spinster who fumbles through all the childish games...good times.

It's mostly about my aunt. The shower isn't bad so far.

Yeah, timing's kind of terrible for that one.Even if you aren't making toilet-paper wedding dresses.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I love Richard Scarry. I remember being in the 2nd grade and hiding in corners in the school lunch room with the big Scarry books. I was too well-supervised in the 1st grade to get away with it.

I loved Richard Scarry as a child. We will have to get Ryan some books, once he's reading on his own at least. We picked up the DVDs in Shanghai airport. (Biyi, of course, had no idea why I was so excited to see them.) They've rapidly become Ryan's favourites.

It's a baby shower so I'm currently wearing a clothespin on my shirt. I hate shower games. There are so many presents here to open that games are really unnecessary.

I'm sorry about your aunt, sj.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm with you, erika. I despise showers. Baby showers maybe even more than bridal showers. I'm happy to give a gift, but the forced festivities make me tired and irritable.

sj, I'm so sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The games are a key part of the tradition, sj. Like how marriages aren't official until someone has done the Chicken Dance.

I'ma sit by Erika and Zen on my general feelings on showers, though. I hate them in general and specific, and I'm additionally pissy about them at the moment because I am obligated to go to Another Fucking Baby Shower on a weekend where I was going to be doing something much more fun (previously mentioned Perseid Road Trip). I hate that showers are exclusively female enterprises; I hate the stupid-ass games ("enforced fun" if every such a thing existed); I hate the twee-as-hell heteronormative/traditionalist assumptions. I hate the whole fucking thing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Personally, I think showers are THE WORST, at the risk of sounding like Miranda-Hobbes-Has-A-Terrible-Accident. But I do hate them

I can't stand them. I don't begrudge the shower-ee's happiness, not one iota. But the games and the passing around of every present (I think Shrift described it once as "Why am I smelling soap?") and the general wittering just drives me nuts. It's not my thing.
