Angel ,'Chosen'
[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.
I often spell Lucius as Luscious--had to correct it just now. Which has led to some interesting Internet discussions of the elder Malfoy. Fortunately, I think he is.
My mother always pronounced the name Nelson as Neltson. Always. My sisters and I had great fun mocking her.
My step-mother pronounced the word 'embroidery' as emBOYdry and 'shrimp' as srimp.
You'd be amazed how often those two words came up in conversation and how annoying it could be.
My father cannot EVER pronounce the drug Ambien properly, even though he's taken it for years. He always, every time, says "ambience." Not on purpose; that's just the word that got installed in his brain first, and it wins every time
Well drugs are named in ways that lend themselves to other words. Marketing and psychology, yo. Which, in our post-Harry potter world makes Levitra funny to me.
I don't think I ever type psychology or psychic without mentally thinking P - S - Y. I just did it twice. I can type physics without mentally spelling ... Oh, no, I can't. Dammit. But it's at a lower volume. p - h - y - s and not P - S - Y. Huh, learn something new about yourself every day, apprently.
I am really quite a weak speller. Always have to spell out psychology and any other psych- words too. And receive. I actually have to say the rule silently in my head: "i before e, except after c."
This is the third time this week my husband as woken me up at 4:30 am with cuddling. In theory, this is lovely. In practice, it wakes me up, when I have a hard time getting and staying asleep, and I don't feel romantical about it; I am starting to feel slight homicidal.
That is all.
Signed, Fucking Up Early and Not Loving It, I Started Freelancing So I Could Sleep Better
I woke up a 5 without cuddling.
I woke up at 4:00 to terrified screaming. Ryan was vomiting uncontrollably, and it was freaking him out. (It freaked out WB too, as when she first got into his room, she thought all the vomit was blood.)
I invoke the FPC. I know it's not a terrible to wake up, per se; but it's made me cranky as hell. THREE TIMES this week! 4:30 am!
I have very much sympathy for anyone who woke up earlier than they wanted to this morning, for whatever reason.
OMG - VW that's great news!!! Congrats!
Seconded -- I SQUEEED on Natter, I'ma double up here, because that's AWESOME!
