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.

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

Ginger, that paper is perfect! And way too expensive.

Must think harder; I think henna would be almost as expensive as the paper, but my, wouldn't it look cool?!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Erin, is there anyone you know who would be good at writing on you? If so, get some black eye shadow, a bottle of makeup sealant (Ben Nye makes a good one), and a fine-tipped brush. (A narrow eyeliner brush from a drug store would work.) The only catch is you'd probably want to shave any hair off the areas you want written on.

There's the old stand-by of Sharpie markers, but they do bleed a little bit, and take a few days to wear off.

Compassionately intolerant

I know myself, and I know what lives under my metaphorical bed.

The most honorable of awarenesses, to my way of thinking. (forgive the non-word but 'things to be aware of' didn't have the same ring. language of convenience...I am guilty.)

Compassionately intolerant

I have a sharpie 'temporary tattoo' on my left wrist right this moment.

I'm testing out how I like the concept and location.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Steph, my comment about your mother was not meant as a comment on your own abilities to mother, particularly given that you are not interested in having kids. I just meant to say you've already overcome her shadow, even if you still have to grapple with her from time to time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Matt had the same fears - but I had to remind him that there would have been a second factor - me. however , there were a lot f factors in us deciding not to have children. And I really like my life as it is now. And I love working with Teens

Now I have an ear infection. Another five days of antibiotics

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

And Teppy, you don't really need a reason to not want to be a parent other than not wanting to be a parent. Best reason in the world.

If you were forced to become a parent (and in today's world I don't see that how could happen short of a Republican dominated government in 2012 actually restoring slavery), you would suppress the impulses you are worried about and not take anything out on the little person you were in charge of through no fault of their own. But, since I'm assuming you know what you want, you would be absolutely miserable and be giving up stuff you care about due a sense of responsibility.

That happened to me once...it's why I don't go on ADAPT demonstrations anymore...my *everything* got infected.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey, Steph, do you know about Just My Type: A Book About Fonts? There's an entire chapter on Comic Sans called "We Don't Serve Your Type."
