Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism

That's great...I thought people here would like that. I've been thinking more about money, since I have a bit more now(Beyond how annoying it is that my dad thinks that a bit more means, idk, a residency on Big Rock Candy Mountain, but I digress)Anyway, much like she describes, budgets have never worked for me either because, among other things, a lot of experts think that if you don't have money for a birthday present, that means you know how to...say, make soap. which, no.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Two things that seemed relevant to post here:

ltc has declared Hot Topic to be her “happy place”, and she just found out the song she is doing for her musical theatre class recital is from the Beetlejuice musical. I don’t know which song, but she is super excited.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, ltc

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

You're definitely raising her right, sj.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

sj, our kids would get along so well! Beetlejuice was one of their obsessions this past year (they both dressed as Beetlejuice for Halloween), and now they're both super into My Chemical Romance. Rose (age 12) begged me to take her to Hot Topic just this past weekend and spent $100 of her own money on MCR merch, and then dyed her hair black.
