Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

I'm trying to decide if I should wait until it comes to the IMAX theater.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I see very few movies in the theatre these days, and usually I plump for IMAX. I think I'll skip the drive and cost for this one. But the talk in the movies thread is killing me. And the WX discussion isn't going to stay whitefont much longer.

I just ordered my dad ST:TNG season 6 for Father's Day because he called me geeking out about "Chain of Command."

THERE. ARE. FOUR! LIGHTS!

Bah, got an email detailing how awful my exam was. My resolve is waning!

Keep your resolve, Nora!

ita, we are trying to find a way to see it maybe this weekend. I'd be happy to have you join us if it works out.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Print out the email and write your rebuttal, Nora, point by point. Write out your argument, if you haven't done so. You don't have to do more than make a list of your points, really, but it will help to have them down and concrete.

I tend to stammer and clutch when I have a face to face meeting, or any sort of confrontation. So it always helps me to write down my points and write out a rough guide of what I want to say, and practice saying it. I also imagine varying responses, and my rebuttals to those. I practice deliberately keeping my voice lower to keep it from squeaking, taking deeper breaths, and speaking slower. It helps me to be prepared and not so jittery that I lose what I was going to say and just clam up in overwhelm.

I am not you, of course, and if this won't work for you, please disregard it. I only mention it in case it might help.

All is well that ends in pizza.
