If one was temporarily very broke, and one's part time lovah offered to help if needed, would it be weird to ask said lovah to pay for one's birth control? Feel free to sing along if you know the chorus!!! [link]
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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.

I think if he has offered, that would not be weird. I mean, less weird than saying "could you pay the water bill" or something--it's something he's directly involved in.

It's going to be $62.50 this month, even though it's a generic - I have a prescription deductible with this new insurance.

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

Precisely. If you're sleeping with him, he's got skin in the game. Or condoms. Whatever. It's something mutual and I think he'd rather help pay for birth control than any of the options be they celibacy or other.

Oh, pretty sure he'll do it with no hesitation. It's just going to be an awkward phone call or email. Time to put on the big girl panties...

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It'll be super awkward for like 30 seconds. Then okay

My boyfriend in college had no problem at all in helping to pay for birth control. God, college in 1981. We had no clue--but at least we were getting some.

Yup, he laughed and said no problem. I think I'm blushing with embarassment. Oh well, it's done.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh well, it's done.
Heh. Comedy for the 21st century. But also, well done. A good example for kids everywhere.

Thank heavens he's a doctor and we both taught sex ed in Peace Corps. We're pretty matter of fact about stuff.
In more fun StW news, last night we finished watching s2 Justified, *while* drinking Apple Pie Moonshine. Dear lord, that shit is GOOD. This was actually moonshine cut in half with apple cider, infused with cinnamon sticks. Dangerously drinkable. I only had half a tiny jar I got from a friend, but he says he'll get me my own quart jar next time he gets some. But heaven knows when that will be. StW and I are dreaming of setting up a still (which I swear he pronounced "steel," love it when his accent creeps in) in my shed. I wonder if one could generate a suitable substitute with commercially available products...
eta aha! >[link]
We also walked around the City Park sculpture garden, which was very fun. We both gave in to the compulsion to touch many of the statues. Nearly every one reminded me of something pop culture - Doctor Who, Donnie Darko, etc. I hadn't realized how much I needed a little break from the urban.
