Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

'Serenity'


Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Ahhh, I've done that with house cleaning and homework. I'm so tired of feeling paralyzed. I try to make small goals, lots of good enough instead of perfection, but I'm still struggling with even the smallest things. I want to crawl in bed by 9pm. But all I can think about is all the things I really should be doing instead of just doing the one thing I have to do.

Sorry for all the whining. Big picture my life is good. Maybe that is the trap - I shouldn't be fighting so hard because so many people are fighting to have a roof over their head or clean water to drink.

Thrive to spite them

I am so tired. I forgot how tiring it can be especially at first. I got thrown on the sales floor to shadow someone and everyone was impressed how fast I picked up the register.

The store is...kinda sitting at the bottom of sales for the region but we are a small area. But one of the other shoe sales people was like "I don't bother vaccumming often. " I could tell. There is understaffed I guess but even 10 mins a night or picking up large things would make a difference.

Yes, that would be a worthy 10 minutes. I hate walking into stores where it is clear that cleanliness is viewed as optional.

I got my discussion question done! Now a bit of chainmaille and then sleep.

chainmaille

I've wondered about the spelling for a while. Why not "chainmail"? I know nothing about the craft, so maybe it's a really obvious answer, but I have no idea.

Why not "chainmail"?

I've seen it in various sources as chainmail far longer than I've seen chainmaille. I haven't seen any historical justification for "maille", but that may just be something I missed, so I'm not sure if my annoyance with the spelling is justified or just Old Fuddy-Duddy Medieval Recreationist Snobbery (get off my battlefield, she grumbled, shaking her longbow)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've never seen "-maille". I wasn't sure what it meant!

I've seen it both ways. The vendor I purchase rings from uses "maille" so that is what ends up coming out when I type it.

If it's fancy, it should be called chainmaille.

Am I weird? I won't be offended, I really want to know.

I've seen "chainmaille" a lot, but I was always too intimidated to ask, because I thought there was an obvious reason that I was missing.

If it helps the conversation, the pieces I'm working on aren't classic chainmail related. They are pretties.
