I can get through a 6-pack of beer in about a year, but other things linger. It wasn't until I was engaged and doing the last little bit of pre-moving-in-with-Hec cleanup on my old place in Berkeley in October 2003 that I managed to throw out the cardboard container from the 6-pack that jengod brought to the S5 finale party, complete with "jengod" jotted on the side in ballpoint pen. After she deserted the Bay Area for L.A., it felt like a sacred relic and I got twitchy every time I started to toss it out.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I always hated beer, until this year. Just a few months ago, I discovered that I really like some expensive beer. No cheap beer. And I still can't finish a whole bottle.
So now I can say "Beer good." Which of course makes this post on topic, because it ties into all that wonderful work Tim did on BtVS.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Angel ep, Damage, is showing right now and the damaged girl turned slayer's backstory echos little Becky George's backstory. Well until the part where Willow the White intervened and majicks occurred. But still. The story was credited to Greenwalt and DeKnight though so I might still be waaaay off-topic. It was an interesting moment.

The broken ones are the most fun, though.
yeah, they can't run away.
What is WRONG with you people and your not drinking beer? OTOH, I suppose it's good, so if i come over, you'll always have some :)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I also always have three sorts of rum, two of vodka, four of tequila, rum liqueurs, gin, whiskey, and I guess there's champagne and wine and fruit liqueurs around too.
So you have the beer, and I'll drink the other stuff.

I may have to seize the cat.
I don't drink much (gall bladder/reflux is aggravated by alcohol), but after I move in with my new roomie I will be living in a house that is essentially a glorified liquor cabinet.
Maybe I can convince roomie to keep amaretto around. He probably wouldn't mind.

I have lots of vodka. All different kinds. I think it's multiplying or something.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have no beer, but I do have vodka, tequila, rum, gin, wine (bubbly and non), scotch, honey liqueur, and a couple of bottles of Mike's Hard lime.
Maybe it's time to find some local friends.

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
I love rum. So good.
As soon as I'm done with this book, I will crack open my very expensive bottle of champagne and the pretty red flutes I've never used and Polgara and Kristen will come over and help me drink it all.
