My best friend in BC is very jealous of the thing on Friday with Tim, Allyson. Maybe you should not go. It might make her feel a little better.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

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

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
Don't you think Tim will be sad without me?
I am his sun, his moon (wait, that's ita), his stars, his reason for getting out of bed in the morning to greet the day.
Or, you know, not.

Was it really surreal like when the dude in the Albertson's seemed really mad at Tim about something and was ranting in front of the dairy case?
No. Given the subject matter of the class, it's not a shock that his name came up.
Though it was funny, when one class member asked what shows he'd done, someone who was not me rattled off all his credits.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
the question is, did said person name Buffy?
Kristen - Nov 09, 2005 9:02:41 am PST #5964 of 10001
Nope. They named all his credits correctly and in the right order. They even included The Inside.

wow.
do they happen to know you run his official site? or was this just really, really random that his name came up?
Kristen - Nov 09, 2005 9:14:32 am PST #5966 of 10001
I don't think any of them know about the site. It never came up. I'm pretty sure it started with talking about the Expo and I asked G (someone I knew from before the class) if she was going to Tim's thing on Friday. And then someone else said, "Tim? Tim Minear?" And we were off and running with the Tim love.

Oh, I love the randomness of the world and the "you can't know whom you're going to meet where".
If it's OK to ask, what is that "Tim's thing on Friday"? Sorry if it's been mentioned before - I'm large with the skipping-and-skimming.

Ooh! I get such frisson of delight when Nilly gets all idiomatic.
