Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Just wanted to poke my head in the door to echo everyone - very glad you're home, bonny. And hope you continue to feel betterer and betterer.

And so glad that Friends From the Glowy Box were able to give you such support!

Back to work (which will hopefully stop trying to eat me, starting with my bottom...)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

With Christmas and New Year's past, can we think out the Easter Bunny?

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

My aunt and uncle sent me a save the date for their daughter's wedding. I'm trying to push back that skeptical voice in the back of my head that is saying I only got one because I ran into my uncle at a family event a couple weeks ago, and he remembered I exist. Honestly, when he saw me his jaw dropped like he saw a ghost.

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

Maybe his jaw dropped because he was happy to see you. I'm assuming that's why my cousin Wenty's jaw dropped and his eyes popped when I saw him at Christmas. No reason for him to have forgotten I exist, since he hangs out with the rest of the family. But we haven't seen each other in a while, and things change when time passes.

Isn't that normal behaviour for people you haven't seen recently?

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

There wasn't really a smile to go with it that would indicate happiness to see me.

I'm okay with me just having knocked people agog with the inability to speak for a little. Maybe I'm lying to myself, but who's it harming? I bump into lots of people after years and years of being apart. I see those faces a lot.

My life is too short to attach negativity to them.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Everything hurts. I wish it would stop.

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

ita there is a long history of things with my father's side of the family that make it pretty impossible not to attach negativity to these things. Even though I like this cousin a lot, I'm probably going to send a gift and not attend the wedding. When I was at her sister's wedding no one informed me when they were taking all the family pictures. Maybe I shouldn't have allowed myself to be hurt by that either, but I was. I don't need to put myself through that again.

Hil, I'm sorry you're in pain. I hope it eases up for you soon.

Trust my rage

When Jose's brother got married, they took a family picture right in front of me without me and the kids. Maybe they wanted just the original family but the brides nieces and nephews were included.
