Damn good thing they don't tell stories about lazy, mildly depressive goth geeks with little-to-no ambition beyond making enough to support a wicked comics habit..

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aha. Thanks, Nilly.

You're gone a few days and lots of things happen. Sheesh. Allyson, thanks for the link.

Hadn't thought about that. I didn't give the Joss Whedon for God 2005 2007 campaign a domain, because Joss gets enough of the praise elsewhere. But Timmy deserves it. I shall give this some considerations.

Like, say, Doyle-murdering.Or Lilah-murdering, or Connor-murdering, or Cordy-murdering.
Strega once asked me if I didn't have anything better to do with my time.
Hey, you make me sound mean!
...yeah, okay, but I didn't say that in a mean way. I don't have anyhing better to do than come up with sociological theories about fandom, after all.
Allyson, have you read "Xenogenesis"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, have you read "Xenogenesis"?
Octavia Butler?

What is even happening?

If my friend keeps banging his head against the wall and then complains of a headache, the first thing I say to him is bound to be, "Um, maybe you should stop banging your head against the wall."
When fandom had me completely crazed once, an old Bronzer said to me, "Is any of this going to matter in five years?"
Taking that in was like seeing for the first time, or at least for the first time in a long time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
There's a lot of strange people out there in the land of fandom. Some are dead on, others are just plain odd and scary
The thing with fandom is -- fans are all craxy to someone.
It's like there's a hierarchy of crazy fans, and each level thinks that all the levels above it are crazy -- except there's usually yet another level below that thinks you're crazy.
[Examples removed because my attempt at illustration could perhaps be taken as insult and though that is so totally NOT what I mean, I'd rather not Start Something.]
As my most serious case of over-identification was with Jeff from Coupling, I haven't had the misfortune to hit that particular spot of pain. Maybe part of that is that when I identify with a character, I tend to identify with the least sympathetic of the character's flaws, so I expect bad things to come of it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
nay, not just to *disagree,* but to get offended by it! S'cool. Bring it.
You're in a contentious mood. So you've already called Allyson, Kristen, Connie and Shrift and Dana crazy at slots 2 and 3.
