Flist, you are nerdy and witty and sarcastic and whiny. You are strong people and you are brave people, you are intrepid and unsung, you are delightful and draining and devious. You comfort, amuse, engage, educate, entertain me. You're mad and you're bad and you make me glad. You rock.

God damn, am I depressed.

I'm just--not going to get as much time to myself this summer as I thought I would, due to family issues. I was going to use that time to jump-start my attempts at original writing again, which have been difficult the past sixth months due to other family issues. It's hardly of much import; I just feel like stomping about like a spoiled child.

Well then, feel free to stomp.

I'll be over here, offering cocoa and moon pies for when you're done.

OH YAY MOON PIES MMM. How are you? I've missed you.

I'm GOOD, actually!! For a change. Hee.

I can't remember when I talked to you last- Maze got his social security, so we have paid off bills, bought me a car that actually runs, and booked a long weekend away in August. Also, he now gets paid monthly to sit at home. Nice gig if you can get it. Well, minus the crippling pain, but hey. We can now also buy him more acupuncture and massage, the stuff not covered by insurance that actually works for him.

I'm writing a four-shot of incest fic for the Lynnvitational, and Fod is writing shmoopy Sponnor.

I have a savings account for the first time in almost 17 years.

Oh! And I bought a new halter top dress. It makes my boobs look AWESOME.

*hands you two moon pie*

Oh Kita how awesome! That actually makes me feel so much less like stomping. I'd seen your post about the social security stuff as I was zooming around trying to get caught up, didn't see about the car. That's great. Plus that'll you'll get a much deserved vacation. That's better than great. And savings means more vacation in the future. Or sending your kid to school. Whichever. HEE. Best wishes to Maze, too.

Dude, tell me about the halter top dress, especially about your boobs. I bought one this spring, which freaked me out because a) I don't buy dresses, b) I've never owned a sleeveless dress, or one this low cut, or one this short (just above the knees which is SCANDALOUS on me, and c) it's blue. But I had to get it because it looked really hot on me or I thought it did which is very surprising. The problem is I tired it on with a bra. And you're supposed to be bra-less and it makes me boobies sad. I'm thinking about trying to sew cups in there; those stick-on ones do NOT work.

YAY BOOBIES.

DID know about the incest, for which I am still happy, didn't know about the Sponnor, YAYAYAYAY Fod!

Two words: Strapless Bra. Changes your life, it does.

BOOBIES. My dress is black and white, silk, two layers, art deco-y flowers. SO HOT OMG. I almost chickened out of wearing it to the event I bought it for (a wedding, this past w/end) but I got the strapless and I wore it and OMG BOOBIES.

I bet you look saucy in blue!!! KNEES AND BOOBIES OMGYAY.

Shmoopy Sponnor, J. Shmoopy Sponnor. Spike might in fact call him pup. Once.

I have a strapless (though I've never needed it). This dress is...um, too low in front for a bra.

My dress is black and white, silk, two layers, art deco-y flowers.

Oh awesome! That sounds so very classic and flattering. I'm glad you had the bravery to wear it. I've worn mine ONCE and then I looked down at my chest and had to leave and change. Gah. Once I get the bra thing figured out though I *will* wear it.

Spike might in fact call him pup.

Oh. That--that--is making me feel strange. i have to see it.

"i have to see it"

G-d, I know. Me too. Also, there is sleepy sex. This may be another BPK of mine.

There are bras that are cut low, meant to be worn under those kinds of dresses. You can get a personal fitting/consultation at any decent dept. store. This has been a LIFESAVER for me. Who knew I wore the wrong bra size for half my life? Did you know that MOST women are in the wrong bra size?? Crazy.

I like sleepy sex but it is not a bpk for me. I don't know what kind of music you listen to, but there's a bjork song about sleepy sex that I've always thought was awesome.

Oh! I looked at a bra store but I didn't see anything like that. I should've asked! The last time I got fitted they kept getting the wrong cup size. I mean, the woman looked at my chest, looked at what her tape measure and chart or whatever said my cup size should be, and kept muttering, "that's not right!" It was weird. Particularly since being touched by a stranger even if they try really hard not to actually grope you is really torturous for me. I don't like to be touched a lot of the time. I'm not even particularly good at hugging.

But when it comes to that--I'll bet that many women are too embarrassed which is why they're all wearing the wrong bras which isn't surprising but IS depressing. Jeez.

Bjork! Oh my sister LOVES her. I think she sounds like a dolphin. *g*

I bet embarassment is totally the reason. I'm not much into being groped by random strangers, myself, although I have found that since childbirth, my modesty factor is waaaay lower. Nothing like having people stick their arms up your ladyparts all the way up to their elbows for completely erasing any sense of shame one may have had.

I think it just might be Sponnor itself that's my BPK these days. Probably because it's hard to find.

She takes some getting used to.

HEE. I can see that.

Well, and mostly it seems like the people writing it are good writers. Bad writers don't seem interested in it which is a definite plus. I quite like it, but I can't say it affects me as much as fics with Angel in them.

Hm. I guess to me, all Sponnor fics have Angel in them. In that absent third kind of way, if nothing else. S'probably why it's the only pairing that gets me off without Angel having to actually be in the scene.

Yes you are right however I require explicit Angel. Or maybe that's not it. I just have yet to spend late nights thinking of Sponnor; I'm not sure why.

Well, for me it also don't hurt that it's Kartheiser and Marsters.

JM/VK teh hotness. Maybe it's more easy on my brain than Sponnor because I don't feel like there's a HOLE there.
