Yup. "She's young" is not an excuse for whining when she doesn't get something she wants. She thought Spin owed her an internship.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
As someone said in our newsroom, "That sound you hear is 1,000 bridges burning."
Heh.

Somehow, I think they would if *you* asked, ita.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I agree with those who wondered why her current editors even published it. Maybe they hate her and don't want her working in journalism anymore.

That'll do it. I hate her, I think, except for the part where I feel better about me because I'm not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, I'm sure it's gotten them a gazillion more hits than they could have any other way.
Noticed at gofugyourself.com (which no longer lets people comment):
Mothers-to-be Britney, Jordan and Demi will be queuing up for this year’s most in-demand celebrity plastic surgery package.
First off, the celebrity mother gets her silicone breast implants removed early in her pregnancy to prevent stretching, then when the baby is born (usually whipped out by caesarean at eight months to prevent the mother having to get too fat) new implants are put back, liposuction is done on the arse and thighs plus a full tummy tuck to get rid of all signs of pregnancy. The new mother keeps hidden from the public for about ten days while everything heals - which, of course, is not suspicious, as she’s just given birth.
Many private hospitals around the world now offer this as part of the birth package. Nursing staff at London’s celebrity-friendly Portland Hospital have an unofficial name for the package which honours, they claim, one of its earliest adopters.
They call it the… “Mend It Like Beckham”.

This I doubt. An ethical doctor won't risk the baby that way, and furthermore celebrity pregnances seem to be lasting the full time; otherwise the media would be all over the prematurity (as with Julia Roberts).

Doesn't that depend entirely on them telling the truth about conception?

Jeff - Welcome Back!! So glad you are out of the hospital!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Jeff! So good to see you up and about.
