[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The whole reason I got into this line of work was so I wouldn't have to do real things.

I so chose the wrong career path... I wanted the one with no real things and no real people. People are seriously overrated. I prefer to be locked away in solitude with only the electrons.

I did hug Alexis. I always hug Alexis.

Who wouldn't?

I did get a hug from ita on Thursday.

However, I don't hug ita yet. We chat, snark, compare meds and bruises, oogle cute waiters but we don't hug. I have hugging issues unless the person is obviously a hugger. Obvious huggers can be hugged but otherwise it is working up to a friendship committment that I'm not sure about. Yes, I have subscriptions, not just issues.

And I saw Allyson's hair doppleganger today. The rest of the woman wasn't Allyson at all but the hair was fantastic.

Which is good because I work with hugging happy people.

Thankfully the only co-workers I've ever hugged were ones that I'm actually related to, so no awkward "why are you touching me?" moments.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Theatre folk are often touchy-feely. Hugging happens.

What is even happening?

Tim, I think I get put off a little becasue he is saying basically what Smg , Db and even Eliza have said, yet they were all called ungrateful, while he is being called smart. Whatever. That is why I am the fan not the writter or director.

Diagnosis: Fandomitis.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

No cure has yet been found.

While I was disappointed to hear that SMG didn't want to do any Buffy movies, I wasn't disappointed in her, if that makes any sense. It seemed perfectly reasonable that she might be tired of the character after 7 years and not want to return to it. Ditto for DB being tired of playing Angel 14 hours a day year round and only wanting to continue in a new format.

Not wanting to return to a character unless the co-workers whose show added a year to your career are shunted to the side to give you center stage seems rather more self-aggrandizing to me. And I think I'd still feel that way if the comments were coming from Alyson Hannigan, J. August Richards, Amy Acker, or another actor whose character I'd actually be interested in seeing more of.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think he was saying, I have played this character as a sidekick for 8 years. if I am going to commit to returning to him, I want to play him a the center of a the story. I want to play Spike as the person who does things, rather than the guy who snarks at people doing things. That doesn't seem odd to me. If any of the Scoobs said the same thing I would understand it.
