Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am convinced I was dorkily fannish to AD at the premiere, by mentioning that I was traumatised by the deaths at the end of Angel. Other than that, I can back away in time to save myself.

I spent many a fan event actively avoiding certain people for fear of the nervous incoherent babbling.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I am Dorkus Surpremous--enough so that I avoid fan-type events for the most part because I WILL make an ass out of myself. I'm a stammering idiot.

If I only had a brain...

It sounded really cool but the whole idea of a world class cyclist being forced to ride with me for an afternoon sounded really unappealing.

I would be sorely tempted to show up on a Schwinn with a wicker basket on the handlebars and streamers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And there's no backing away on the phone!

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 WILL make an ass out of myself.

I grabbed Joss by his head and yelled at him to focus.

I still wish I had a camera for that.

I wish you had had a video camera for that.

I am Homer Simpson to Joss' Mr. Burns.

We've had so many storied adventures together, and he has no idea who I am. I now have a sense of humor about it.

"Don' be e-scared"

I've never met anyone at a fan event who has babbled except in charming, ego-boosting fashion. And never do they strike one as idiots. Ever.
