Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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

Is she promoting anywhere? Tumblr, the steamfashion comm on LJ, stuff like that?

Not that I know of. I'll suggest those to her. If you have any other ideas, I'd be happy to pass them on.

But I clicked through to imdb, and see that TOM FUCKING CRUISE is playing JACK REACHER. WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK

Cruise needs to suck it up, play Napoleon in a bio pic, and work through his issues once and for all.

I think I was 12 before I started looking for the porn. I was a slow starter. Pretty sure I made up for lost time once I did start, though. In my case it was a friend and I finding her dad's stash of dirty novels.

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

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I noticed a pattern in the porn discussion. The first experience most men have with porn is pictures of naked women. And the first experience most women have with porn is - pictures of naked women.

I wonder if, now that there seems to be more porn for women available, that might change. Maybe the next group of 10-12 year old girls will seek out NC-17 bandom slash fic and art.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, when I was 10, Playboy magazine was in most of the same stores where I bought comic books, and most of them didn't have them behind those "adults only" things.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ah, msbelle, good luck with this new and exciting phase of being a parent.

Pretty, smonster!

I rather like the embroidered bustle (not that my bum needs embellishment). Luckily it's way small for me. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, msbelle, good luck with this new and exciting phase of being a parent.

Seriously. Back in my day, my father didn't know when I found the Vanessa Williams Penthouse magazine, because I just put it back!

ION, when I found the "other" messages on Facebook yesterday (check it out, if you haven't already - click on Messages), there was a message from a month ago from some doctoral student doing a study on crossword v. scrabble brains, who apparently got my name off the crossword puzzle tournament list. So I just did the study, which had visual and word/vocab questions. I totally tanked on the visual ones, but did well on others. As I learned at the end, that totally fit their hypothesis of crosswords v. scrabble! Huh.
