Louise and I were talking earlier this evening, before I left work. We were discussing the grand opening of the New Seattle Public Library’s main branch, on May 23rd.
Me: we should go to that.
Louise: oh yes, we should. Because we are just that book geeky. [Louise breaks into her Milton impersonation] The ratio of books to Louises is too big.
Me: [bringing my hands up to hide my face and breaking into my impersonation of… well, me being a tard] yes, but i don’t like the people. i like the books!!
Louise, laughing: How come everyone I am friends with does a good fake tard impersonation?
Me: faux-tard?
Louise: yes, exactly.
Me: because you are a faux-tard magnet.
And then I realized I have just made up the best word ever!! Or at least the best word in quite some time. And, what’s even better is, it sounds like a photoshop filter. “Oh sure, that’s a good picture of him now, but look what happens when we run him through the faux-tard filter.”
And we were serious about going to the grand opening of the new main branch of the Seattle Public Library. Because we really are that book geeky. And library geeky, specifically.

I know. I’ve been really naughty, haven’t I? Perhaps a good spanking’s in order?
I told Evildeb that I would be performing a lot of penance for buying an iPod. A girl in my financial situation should not be buying luxury items. [even if they are an necessity like an iPod] I said many “whippings” shall occur.
Evildeb: oh really? who’s going to be doing the whipping?
Me: uh… it’ll be self-flagellation.
Evildeb: well… go easy on yourself.
Me: I always do!
Evildeb: YOU SEE!! that’s the trouble with you. you are too easy on yourself. We could bring in a third party.
Me: You know… I was talking about figurative whippings. [an example of what I was thinking of would be, say.. i don’t get to go blond again, as I was planning.]
Evildeb: mutter mutter mutter dominatrix mutter mutter .. here you go, [pointing to the website on her screen] a whole directory listing the local domanatrixes. I’m not going to open it here, tho. [indicating the workplace]
She’s so supportive. Other friends might come up with half hearted attempts to explain to me why it was necessary for me to have an iPod. Not Evildeb. Only two things concerned her, the fact that she doesn’t yet have one, and finding someone to spank me. Pretty much everything in the world is seen as something she has or does not have. Nothing drives her more crazy than people having what she doesn’t have. I think she was probably in favor of having me whipped, because I dared to have something she does not have. In her eyes, I deserve a good spanking.
