[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.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Blah. Just back from a not great first date. Not an asshole, just not for me. But I'm so bad at awkward moments that I asked if he wanted to hang out again. Durp. ::facepalm::
Dating is sometimes exhausting and depressing.

Good for you, bonny. Firm and polite, you can do it.

Aw, Honey.
The truth is, even if he comes back around, you don't have to hang out again. Minds change. Schedules fall out of sinc.
Life happens.
I'm sorry it wasn't a good date.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
bonny, good for you!
Somehow, I'd fancied myself a person of good boundaries.
I think your boundaries would have been fine, if you had been dealing with other people who also had good boundaries and were not prone to lying and taking advantage.

That is the question of the day, though.
How IS IT that I am so incredibly successful at finding those people?
In thinking back on the 5...count them, FIVE...friendships I have jettisoned in the last few years, every single one of them had the same theme. Shocking insensitivity and advantage taking.
Am I a magnet, or are there more of 'them' than I want to think?
My bff thinks I live in an entitled neighborhood where snobby people are bastards. But, this is the same neighborhood where total strangers have looked out for me, or been supportive in loving and surprising ways, so her theory is hard to prove.

Zenkitty is wise.
Bonny, you are such a wonderful, thoughtful, warm person. I hate that these people are not seeing what they are losing by being entitled assholes.
I bought a new laptop today. I've spent the evening playing with Windows 8 and the touchscreen. But this is my first "new computer" post. Wheeeeeeeeeeee.

assholes are incredibly adept and finding people they can take advantage of.
incredibly adept. that is their superpower.

I wish that _my_ superpower was the ability to touch their hearts and make them different.
At this point, I'd settle for collision avoidance.

le n is right. And I hear you, bonny, but all you can do is live as you believe, and leave them to figure their shit out. I talked with a friend today whose house was broken into by a (former) friend and friend's husband. They deny it despite not having been very bright about things.
Sadly, my incipient headache is not low blood sugar, but a migraine coming on. I must have slept wrong during my nap.
