Up Front: Life on Mars, in reply to Sue,
Our last drunk shoe-shopping trip was.

Up Front: Life on Mars, in reply to Emma Hart,
You have to remember that that northern chick is a ticking time bomb and that one day she’ll give you a wolloping completely out of the blue that will make what you’re getting from Christchurch look like a neck massage –
See, for me, it is the opposite. Since I left, Christchurch has always felt like the Unsafe Place. She's the lover I go back to, who I know will hurt me, but I can't stay away from. (And actually, there is one of those down there.)
Emma and Isabel and a bunch of other people have gone some way to fixing that, but post-quakes, I find it difficult to trust her. Because she's hurt so many people I love, and she doesn't seem to be getting any better. Bitch.
And so now, when I used to love going down, I hesitate. I tell those guys to come here, because I don't trust myself around Christchurch anymore.

Up Front: Life on Mars, in reply to Bart Janssen,
And while I don’t do twinkly, I do do hugs. Looking forward to your visit.
You know, Bart, Emma keeps trying to get me to come to Auckland with her. And one of the reasons she keeps mentioning is that I need to meet (and go drunk shoe-shopping with) you.
Having laid waste to much of Wellington's hospitality scene last weekend, I suspect Auckland couldn't handle us.

Up Front: Life on Mars, in reply to Russell Brown,
1. I can faithfully report that in Wellington Emma was so ladylike and decorous that even passing strangers remarked on her delicacy.
And Russell acquitted himself with utter gentlemanliness. Even when I used him to taunt Emma.

Up Front: Life on Mars, in reply to Lucy Stewart,
And how.
So, you told me before you came up, you wanted a break from worrying about *everything*. I did OK?

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Robert Urquhart,
Heh. Spiffy? That word would be more suitably applied to Emma, Oliver and Tom, surely?
Photos of Slutwalk WLG now online.
I am stealing one of those (If I may)! Thank you.

I see your Malboro man, and raise you a Holly.

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Emma Hart,
Also… I don’t want to get too deep on this, but your list of “immature” things? Is a list of feminine things. I still do all that stuff, thanks.
Me too. I intend to be doing a lot of them _with_ Emma very soon.

This is the kids making it up themselves?

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to recordari,
I can talk sensibly about consent and rape and slutshaming and all kinds of things. Frankly, given the tone of these conversations everywhere but here, I need a little levity on occasion. It's kind of why I love PAS.
I suspect there will be a scarlet letter in your mailbox soon. You could wear it to Slutwalk ;-)
Pfft. Like I haven't had one pinned on my door for years now.
