Susan, I am finally home and not on dial-up and only just read your news. I am very sorry for your loss and hope the travel and services are as easy as they can be given the circumstances.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Me: "It's not. It's important to me that I kiss you."
We stay in the car for a while. I'm holding her, and we're having one of those lazy conversations where the how is more important than the what. And then out of the blue she asks, "Am I good enough for you?" For me that was the meltiest moment. (Multiple choice: did I answer (a) yes (b) no (c) by kissing her again?)
billytea, that is wonderfully awesome, and I concur that you've got a swoony line there.
Your storytelling skills are lacking, though. Choice (c) is "kissing her again," yet you seem to have skipped the FIRST kiss. We need details, yo!

Billytea is like, Lloyd Dobler with an Australian accent and an actual career.
Plus, sexy math skills.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My apologies, I was treating it as the natural inference from "It's important to me that I kiss you". To confirm, she gave the impression that she liked that line too. I'm not sure I should go any further into details there. Perfect gentleman, me.

Aha. Good. I figured as much, but for all I knew, that line led to a bunch of awkward silence.

I forgot. I have that Librarian Avengers statement on a t-shirt.

This is true. Would've been a much less charming story if that happened.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
"It's not. It's important to me that I kiss you."
billytea, that sound you just heard was all the Buffista women SWOONING in unison. I think we all want a great guy to say that to us. (Or, well, I damn well do.)
Also, your post made me jump and then go "Eeeeep!" with happiness for you.
Seconded. Loving the tea.
Meara, your mum's response to the letter was FABulous.

Message on my mobile from AS:
"Morning! I am doomed!"
Seriously. She said that last night too (not the "Morning!" part), and then I had to explain why I started laughing.
