Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
[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'm pretry good at small talk . It's what comes after I suggest with.
In work news it was announced we will be open 5 pm - 1 am thanksgiving day then open 8 am on Black Fiday. WhI changed seems late to me so I expect it to change. Last year we were open from 5 pm thanksgiving straight though to 10 or 11 pm Friday. I guess they didn't make en I ugh money between 1 am and 8 am to justify being open.
There is so much injustice in this world - whole thing looks like it's headed for the nether regions in a modest hand-crafted container made from stiff plant fibers. I can't fix everything that's wrong. And to be honest, I don't know that I can fix anything. But I know it is more than I can do to fight on all fronts. Tell me it isn't wrong to pick one to focus on and let the others go. I feel like I'm drowning - I know others are in deeper, but I can barely swim, let alone pull anyone else out of the current.
You have to, Andi. Put on your oxygen mask before helping others. You add so much joy and caring to the world, that's important. Maybe more important than finding things to fix.
Tell me it isn't wrong to pick one to focus on and let the others go.
It's not wrong to pick one to focus on and let the others go. It's really not. If you try to do everything you'll end up unable to contribute to anything well, and you'll burn yourself out in the meantime.
So. Um. OK Cupid guy asked if we can consider ourselves "official," and I said yes. So we're official, whatever that means. (And I asked him not to mention it on facebook for now, because of my mother asking questions that I don't feel like dealing with. I'm figuring, if we're still seeing each other once we get to winter break, I'll tell her then. I should probably tell him that, so he doesn't think this is indefinitely facebook-secret.)
That sounds like a good thing, Hil. Yay!
That's great, Hil!!! And, yeah, letting him know why you don't make it "FB official" yet is probably a good idea.
Thanks, guys.
I just sent him a message explaining a bit more why I didn't want to tell my mom yet. I realized that I'd phrased it last night as "I don't want to tell my mom," rather than "I don't want to tell my mom yet," and that "yet" is kind of needed -- it's not like I'm planning on hiding it from her forever. Just that I kind of want to process things in my own brain, which will take a little bit of time, before I'm ready to start answering the million questions she's going to ask.
That's awesome, Hil! And good to clarify, indeed, that it's a "yet" and a "my own issues" and not a "never" and "don't want to introduce you to my mom" kind of thing.
That's awesome, Hil!
