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.

Thrive to spite them

That is awesome!

I went to 2nd and Charles, it's a small chain used bookstore/nerd haven/collectibles place. They have mystery boxes of books. I bought a scifi one and it was mostly a bust. I realized it's probably just stuff they can't sell. But yesterday they were there and I bought a comics book one. I was hoping for some weird Marvel titles but it wasn't. Mostly a full run of some DC series that didn't get good reviews and a bunch of Walking Dead which neither M and I like but his cousin's daughter likes them so I gave them all to her. I was happy because I had wanted to do a little extra for her for Christmas and I guess I was able to

Originally I wasn't going to go anywhere because for the last several weeks all my days off have been spent running around. But I went out with M. Was worth it.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

This feels like the right place to bring up that both my kids are now publishing fic on AO3.

Two of Us! Two of Us!

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Cool, I guess, although I do agree that that makes me feel like we've been sitting here *forever* and I'm not sure I like that part. (another challenge of the vampiric experience I hadn't considered before this)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

This feels like the right place to bring up that both my kids are now publishing fic on AO3. So proud to have raised a second generation of weird little nerds.

Same. But just the one kid.

Our wings are not tired

There really hasn't been a post in bitches since last year?

Our wings are not tired.

This was the first thread I ever found (2001). Natter was way too busy back in the day to keep up so I lived here.

I like that we both current have the same tagline.

Our wings are not tired.

It still feels right.

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

Thought: Many of my Spike itches are nicely scratched by Ilya Rozanov. I feel this shows growth on my part.

Hahaha growth, or just a new phase of the same bad boy becomes a simp cycle?
