The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[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.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The chickens are late.
Tim killed them.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Mr Broom, I just got back from Boston, and haven't been able to shake the accent for days. So he's Tim My-nee-ah.
I work with a Bostonian; I may have to pay him money to say that. I think it would make my day. He's a real Pahk the Cah in Hahvahd Yahd type, only more nasal. You should hear him sing "I Love This Bar" by Toby Keith.

If I only had a brain...
I thought I said "It's not physics, it's metaphysics."
All Tim's words belong to me. Or will have done.

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
All Tim's words belong to me.
You're his favorite.
only more nasal.
Throat closes on the "a."
I took voice and diction classes to lose my accent. We had to say shit like, "Nancy hands the man the candy," with our mouths wide open.

Though you're welcome to discuss why you're uncomfortable with the discussion, or say you wish we wouldn't.
Bahaha... which will then turn up another 20 posts on (a) whether or not you should feel that way (b) whether or not other people should apologize (c) how everyone else feels about the discussion. It is the Way of the Buffista.
Most people make me happy
That would be me.
Actually that would be me. After all, I made new shoes possible.
My gift, if I have one, is bringing people to the shopping.

Oh look...Jennifer Crusie, a well-regarded and much beloved romance writer, is working on an essay about how Cordy was done wrong by Angel writers.
Hmmmm.

That may be interesting. I wonder if she'll get at all metatextual.

There's always catalogs, Kristin.
I love shopping. Even if I don't buy anything. But I'm kinda super fast. i'm not much for the browse. I usually have a mission.
ETA: which is how I bought my wedding dress in 45 minutes as a side trip from Lowes.
