Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

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

I had to explain friends knowing writers who know actors who are sometimes nice to indulge fans.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

Stephanie, you done driving yet?

I think everyone should answer the where questions with "the imaginary people in the box that talk to me."

That way, I can laugh and laugh at the looks on the questioners' faces.

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

In general, I cop to the internet. But I'm doing it with a "You wanna make something of it, huh????" look in my eye. And I often segue into the "Safe Arbor from Ann Arbor" story with Allyson and dare them to make light of the medium.

Nathan didn't need all that.

Where was this Allyson/msbelle discussion of the premiere?

Yeah, friend-of-a-friend is definitely the go-to answer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Back this spring when I was in Houston, my bosses thought it was the weirdest thing that I was gonna go meet someone in person that I had met online.

I kinda wanted to say, "Yeah, it was kinda' werid, the first time I did that fourteen years ago...."
