Is it recent, 'suela? I'd like to read it.
It's in my LJ memories under Meta, I think. Called The Great High School Fallacy. The only LJ entry I ever did that got more than 100 comments. heee.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Why do I think he would get a big kick out of this?
He can find the cranky in any situation.

Strawberry disappointment.
'suela, were you Cofax? I've got that idea in my head from somewhere.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Julie Benz also mispronounced Tim's last name at her DragonCon panel, but she made up for it by saying that she thought Tim was the writer who wrote the best Darla.
And in all the Joss-related panels, people would stand up to ask questions and say "Blah blah Josh Whedon," and you could hear fifteen people simultaneously hiss "JOSS".

I know two people named Josh. I call them Joss by mistake everytime I say their name.

I can't even.
I so want to go to one of those panels just so I can call him Mister Sweden and watch the righteous freak out.

'suela, were you Cofax?
UTTAD, I was, am, and always will be, cofax. It's actually my primary online identity, and I answer to it far better than I do to "Suela".
(Context: I've been called "Cofax" or variants thereof since I was about 8; "Consuela" or "Suela" was a fairly short-lived college nickname that I resurrected for Table Talk and didn't expect to last this long.)

My BiL insists on calling him "Wheldon". It makes me insane, especially as he always wants to give me tips about "what that Wheldon guy is up to".

What is even happening?
I know two people named Josh. I call them Joss by mistake everytime I say their name.
I do this with my son's friend Josh, and have for the past two years. I mostly do it when talking to my son. I tend to call the kid "um" a lot.
