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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Freaky, how? t edit Ginger, sorry; I don't mean to pry, and you don't need to share. My instinct is to try to alleviate panic by looking at the facts, which is why I asked.

Can we help alleviate panic in any way for you?

it's kind of an intimate thing to borrow. Expensive, too, right?

Well, they're generally worn as outerwear, over a dress/blouse/shirt, pretty much like I've seen Buffistas do. It's red and black vinyl, off-the-rack (not custom-made to my measurements), which makes it much more affordable than a custom-made one: [link] (Some day I'll get a custom made one, but it's like a second tattoo: I can't decide what I want it to look like.)

But even so, I still want it back. I'd want a sweater back. I like my stuff to be with me.

I will *not* lend out the flamey one, because it was much more expensive even though it's also off-the-rack, because it's an overbust and it's all leather. Also I love it to pieces and don't want it out of my sight.

Ginger: here's hoping it's just your doctor being extra cautious.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I start therapy today. First time in years. I'm terrified.

Here's to establishing a good therapeutic relationship. May it go well for you.

Teppy, that is frustrating. I hope she does not put you off any further.

Ginger, lots of oncologist-happily-reassuring-that-it's-nothing~ma.

What sumi said, Ginger. Fingers crossed it's just an anomalous reading of some kind.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What Andi said. Lots of healing and health to my lovely Buffistas.

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

Yeah, Ginger, my mom has a yearly appointment with hers. And, Tep, I just meant to say that if I borrowed something like that, I'd get it back to the person, not that you wouldn't want it back after she is done.

No, I got that. I was just...rambling, I guess.

Could that be it? Is she chicken to tell you she damaged it? People have done that to me before. I hate it, but I hate teasing it out of them more.

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

Aims, therapy is a yay! It can hurt at first, but it generallly has helped me so much.

Well, it's almost March and she hasn't made any effort to get it back to me. DAMN, when you are the person who borrows the thing, you make a goddamn effort to return it in a timely manner.

THE GUILT, THE GUILT, IT BURNS! I am getting those corsets back to Buffistas next week if it kills me. I SUCK when mailing stuff! I am so sorry!!!

(And I know Tep's post wasn't aimed at me; no sweat. But I am AWFUL about this, and that's gotta change. ARGH.)
