Good morning!
And Gronk. (head falls on desk.)
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I had a Billytea moment last night -- there was a Discovery Channel show about fatal stinging jellyfish, in Australia. First they talked about the box jellyfish, which has a brain, and 24 eyes, and other neat features that convince scientist that when it stings you, it really doesn't mean it, and is not likely to be fatal. Then they got into this tiny stinging reef-dweller, called irikangu (?), that will keel you deed, despite its being the size of a thimble.
(Two scientists managed to get themselves stung a tiny bit, and spent days writhing and vomiting in the hospital, cameras in their faces the whole time.)
I could have lived without the digital animation of spirochetes, though. The visual was just, shudder.

Nilly, it really was. I was telling some non-board friends about it this weekend and they were all confused who I knew that was famous enough to know actors at premiers. I had to explain friends knowing writers who know actors who are sometimes nice to indulge fans.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, Nilly. With any luck, my nephew will be out of the hospital in a day or two.

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

Hee. Tim's PA introduced me to Nathan as a friend of Tim's. Which is, you know, fine. But Nathan asks where I know Tim from. Why people gotta ask that question? I'm not sure if the answer "the internet" makes me sound weird, or Tim, but it felt weird, so I said (also true, in a virtual sense) "You know that Tim -- he gets around."
God bless indulgent actors, for thusly shall they fortify their fanbases.

I was so excited about Nathan Fillion calling msbelle that I was telling MY real-life friends about it.

Trust my rage
Where was this Allyson/msbelle discussion of the premiere? I can't find it, but I've been all skippy the last few days due to the driving across country.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still do the waffle thing even with non-famous people. Third party: "So, how do you know X?" Me: "Well... um..." X, often: "FROM THE INTERNET!!" Me: "Well, yeah."
I don't think I want to go out with George, but I still want to take him home and make him cocoa.
I am so tired right now I can barely hold up my head. Good thing I have no class tonight.

friend of a friend is my general answer when I don't wanna say internet.

With my friends who know about the crazy internet people, I say, "she's a crazy internet person." With other friends I'll just say something like, "Oh we go way back..." Or I'd say, "Jesse is a friend of msbelle." and leave them to figure that out.
