I was so excited about Nathan Fillion calling msbelle that I was telling MY real-life friends about it.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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.

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.

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...."

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
Why people gotta ask that question?
Tim says I'm a friend he met through work. Which is kinda true, if you squint and spin around really fast.
