Vortex, the heel makes them appropriate for the evening imho.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Thanks, Beverly. It seems like the factor that made a difference this time around is that the slider was open, so it was just the screen between the Interloper and our cats. I think the scent antagonized him more than usual.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I agree with sj -- those shoes look like summer evening shoes to me.
New discovery: Tofutti cream cheese on toast is kind of ick. Edible, but it tastes weird. Tofutti cream cheese on rye bread with cucumber, on the other hand, is yum.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yes, apparently I am helpless before the possibility of a Deadwood reference.
In other news, we bought a car today, which at least made short work of the icky shopping for cars part of the process. The driving around (ZOOM!) in a much better faster smoother car with the iPod plugged into it part is much more fun than shopping for something omgheartattackexpensive.

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

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.
Hey, Erin! It's good to see you. Congrats on finding a nice internet geek to have for a boyfriend. I highly recommend them.
Congrats on the new car, Amych!
Vortex, those shoes are gonna be Teh Hawt on you!

Things that are annoying - when my mother says 'we'll do whatever you want to do". So I say "okay, let's do X", and she replies "no, we have to do Y". And when I say something to the effect that X will be easier, then she starts crying.

The status is NOT quo.

This! Very happy for you, Erin.
Yay new car, Amych!

Ugh. I'm sorry, Vortex.

When my clients at work pull this stuff on me, I cry back at them... massive, exaggerated, whinging, crying. Some of them even know I'm faking it. I'm not sure if you are evil enough to make it work on your mother, Vortex, because of your level of emotional integrity.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"I asked you what you wanted to do. I said we'd do what you wanted. You indicated you had no preference, so I chose. Now you're upset because I wanted to do something else. Tell me. Do you need to have a preference selected for you to object to, before you can make a negative decision? I'm just asking. So I'll know next time, if I do have a preference I'll tell you the opposite so you'll object and we'll get to do what I want to do. That work for you?"
I may have said something remarkably similar to my mother. There may have been a sweet, jocular smile on my face when I said it. Didn't mean I didn't mean it. Or practice it.
