Allyson: I hate cats. They poop in a sandbox in the house, eat all your food, and never say thank you. They could at least do the dishes. There's already one arrogant bitch in my house, I got no room for another.

BT sure shows up a lot.....

Not any more. Sob.

This is a fun game, seemingly expressly designed to keep me from drafting my brief.

Amych: My stepmother insists that she knew me several years before I officially met her -- apparently, she passed me every day as I walked to the school bus and she walked to the Metro, and every day I was reading a book, and I never once looked up and noticed her.

Phill: My stepmother insists that she knew me from my visits to my father's office. I think we met when I was on a field trip to Ahhsoul IV, Planet of the Condescending Gold Digging Lizard People, where she is their queen.

Empress, I just found this (which looks to be pre-Emma) and had to ask if it ended up being true:

Cass: And to add to the weirdness, last time I was at a strip club, one of the dancers was at least nearly six months along... Very strange. I was mesmerized in a very non-sexual fashion. I just watched her. She seemed to do well.

Aimée: Some pregnant women have a feline-like grace.

I myself, will be a wildebeast in a suit.

BT sure shows up a lot...

I was just about to say that about Madrigal.

I am cute.

Sean K.: No, no, no, no. Sorry, I seemed to have lost the concise communication skills here.

Aimée: Boromir is very dead. Not partially dead, not mostly dead, not "he might come back" dead. He's "look through his pockets for loose change" dead.

Very very very true.

You're lovely, Allyson.

Why I love both Allyson and Xander --

Allyson: Xander is the sort of guy that will get up at 4AM to go to work, forget to leave a little bit of milk in the carton for you, leave his towels sopping on the floor, dribble pee on the toilet...but he's working overtime to sock away some cash to buy you that new scanner you were drooling over during a playoff game he was watching when he seemed to not be paying attention.

He'll set it up when you're out at a crappy soul sucking job interview, on the desk he made for you for your first wedding anniversary, sanding and staining it months ahead of time.

When the kids are driving you to the edge of madness, he'll take them to Chuck E Cheese's and a movie so you can take a hot bath and read a book in peace.

He'll kiss your morning breath mouth in the morning, and infuriate you with cluelessness. He's the guy that will be there to give the grandkids horsey rides.

Whenever I see Infuriating!Xander, i remember "You will not hurt these women" Xander.

I like Xander, he's a good man, he's just, well, 21.
