Thanks much, all. You're lovely.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
sj, glad you got a peaceful bath! That sounds lovely.
~ma to your DH's family, Beverly. And yes,I'm sure you are enjoying your alone time.
Strix, that is just awful. I'm so sorry.
So it turns out he didn't ghost on me, he thought I "unmatched" us because I stopped showing in his feed. We went out tonight for a drink. He's very smart and geeky and doesn't seem homophobic and is aware of his white privilege. And he's pretty cute. There was smooching. He was super into me immediately, which freaked me right the fuck out. I got so anxious that I can't really parse how I feel about him. Too bad my next therapy sessions is three weeks away; I knew I had shit to deal with, but being single for so long it's taken a back seat to all the other things. And I told him about my anxiety and stuff and that I was feeling anxious around him, and he's cool with that but just super INTENSE. I'm used to being the intense one and it's really uncomfortable for me to be on the receiving end of that kind of attention right off.
Anyway. I may see him again tomorrow. We'll see if I can process a bit and communicate with him about what might be helpful in dialing down that anxiety. BLERGH.

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'm glad the guy isn't a ghosting jerk. Here's to possibilities!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Good luck smonster! It's ok to not see him immediately again if you don't want. Once a week can be plenty...
Laura you know I always vote pool and a book. You do you!

I finally listened to Hamilton. I was given the original cast CD for Christmas. It's so awesome. I've also got this like 32 disk Neal Stephenson book on CD to listen to but I can't take Hamilton out of the CD player in my car. Lin-manuel Miranda looked about 15 years younger with his hair cut on the Tony's tonight.

Does he have any facial hair? Because when he hosted SNL last year with his hair cut and no facial hair, he looked like a baby. It was adorable.
I can't take Hamilton out of the CD player in my car.
Welcome to the club. It's so damn good.

Our wings are not tired.
Horror of horrors, I have not really devoted any significant amount of time to Hamilton. This reminds me to put it in the CD player for my road trip to NY. By the time I drive 22 hours or so I should be in da club.
I'm trying to decide my route. Thinking of leaving the 23rd or 24th. I will have Zoe with me so that makes some options complicated. Every year I go through this. I want to stop and see people, but I really have to just fly through on a weekend so I will be set up to work on Monday. And the dog. I may just pick a place half way that is scenic and has hiking options and plan to do something with Zoe on my stopover.

Laura, I'm sorry we can't invite Zoe into our house because of TCG's allergies we would really love to see you.

I absolutely plan on heading your way after I get settled in, without Zoe! I know Brendon would like to see you guys too so I will likely wait until gets there.
