Also, I'm bummed for you that your editor didn't care for the Joss reference, although I think it's cool that you have worked Buffy back in.
I don't think this metaphor is perfect, and it's not airtight, but it's so fun. Maybe it'll work anyway.

Hey - medically knowledgeable Bitches, I have a question: If I've not been able to keep much down today, should I take a Reglan (metoclopramide)? It was prescribed to me when I had to go into the ER for dehydration after I couldn't keep anything down after the accident. I would *really* like to avoid a repeat visit, but I'm apprehensive, I guess. I (vaguely) remember it being a "big guns" kind of drug, and I don't think this situation is necessarily the same.

If this goes through, it'll be the best thing ever.
And he wondered if this was something he could do.

juliana, 2 questions: (1) Have you been gastrointestinally sick just today, or longer? (2) Did you eat normally yesterday?

The status is NOT quo.
TRUDY IS BACK! Hurray!

It doesn't work well enough. The Joss one was simple and elegant, but trying to make the metaphor work for vampires (and specifically Buffy vampires) makes it lose clarity. Alas. There was going to be a vampire with a soul and everything.

It's nice to be missed. ::kissieskissieskissies::

Just the school newspaper. Tomorrow.
I changed the metaphor to relate to students. Bye bye, vampires. I'll miss you. Maybe another story, where you work better.

Steph, just today, and I ate - well, not normally, but nothing out of the ordinary for me. Perkins (hi Lee!) for breakfast and pizza for dinner, with bar food around 10. Typical fare for travelling weekends.
