Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

To be clear, she got one of the two items she decided on, all on her own, without my intervention (not enough cash to cover both).

I suggested we put one item of which she already had a few at home back and keep the one of which she had almost none, she acceded, all seemed well, and then the second we were out the door she angrily informed me that the ONLY thing that item goes with is the other item, the one we put back, and she can't wear it with anything else she owns and without the other item there was NO REASON to get it at all.

(Spoiler alert: The completely useless, pointless item that cannot possibly be made to go with any other item of clothing is a black shirt.)

The whole way home she stalked at least a half block ahead of me, seething at every corner until I caught up with her and we could cross the street together, and then bolted as soon as we were across so that she could put a half block between us again. She's been in her room ever since. David attempted to remonstrate with her and she exploded and now he's out staggering with shellshock and I'm huddled in here with the guinea pigs.

Our wings are not tired.

Silently apologizes once again to my mother for all the teenage angst she endured. 4 of us, 3 girls and 1 boy were teenagers at the same time. She was truly a saint. {{parental units}}

And yet in the middle of her rage she wouldn't cross the street alone, but waited for me every single time. Horrifiadorable.

Sorry, but that really is adorable. I am dreading ltc's teenage years. She is already the most stubborn child that I have ever met, and sadly, I know where she gets it from.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Tom, I'm sorry you had anxiety because that's painful.

But you didn't fail at anything. You weren't having fun, so you left. That's a perfectly logical response to a lack of fun and it's good self-care.

I'm only seeing success here, man.

Going to the party was a good choice - and by definition was you being social. It turned out to be a drag so you changed plans. The most social people you'll ever know do just that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

All of what Trudy said. You went to the party, you didn't have fun, so you left.

I finished the genealogy course with an A-. I'll get a certificate!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Result!

So, it transpires that John Kerry was in Melbourne today, giving a speech on climate change: [link] I found this out because Biyi was in the audience! She was interpreting for one of the attendees. Apparently he's quite an impressive speaker. I'm feeling a bit jealous.
