[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.

Interesting dream. I dreamt that me and my dad, may he rest in peace, were checking into a fancy hotel for a family vacation. I'm not sure if it was a stop on the way to somewhere or if it was the destination. As we wandered around the hotel checking out various amenities, I kept noticing this couple sitting in each other's laps making out. When I looked a little closer, I saw it was two young men. Both were wearing really nice, really sharp suits, each had white carnations and baby's breath pinned to their lapels. And I had the urge to go up to them and congratulate them. But then I didn't because... it's their honeymoon. I figured it was better good wishes to let 'em make out to their hearts' content.

It's way too quiet in here today, and I also very much want news on the Empress.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I do have some excellent news. Remember my friends whose house was in the path of the SB fire? Well their place made it! So happy! They just got pictures of it and it is totally intact. Yay!

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
