Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Goodness Cashmere-- not only is owen adorable, he look just like you! What eyes!

I don't really think I could deal with being pregnant. i don't deal well with anticipation and not being able to plan out exactly when something is going to happen. Good thing I don't really plan on having kids!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks, Sophia. I'm convinced that baby anticipation is more exciting than Christmas, only a LOT more uncomfortable.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

MsBelle, it was. Right before the fandom exploded. Or as Cindy says, had the kerfucalypse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The whole creating-a-person thing freaks me out sometimes, just thinking about it -- I can't imagine actually doing it!!

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

The fandom exploded? Do tell? Also--wasn't there a Lost shoutout too? On the cookie fortune she tapes up at the end?

It's all very bizarre and surreal. Even years later. I look at Owen and it freaks me out (in a good way) thinking I helped make a person. I'm curious if that feeling ever goes away.

I bet it never fully goes away. I mean, if it's anything like the holy-crap-I'm-a-grownup feeling, it doesn't. Not that I think that every day, but every so often it hits me weird.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes, ita, there was.

I only know of the explosion, rather than witnessing it.

There's a lot of strong feelings about Duncan (many in relation to other strong feelings about Logan), and a lot of people were upset by 1)him leaving 2)How he left 3) The 'true love' bit of the fortune cookie, some combination of the above, etc. All of which, IMO, are exacerbated by...other problems with the episode.

I know that P-C and Cindy know more than I do. After some of the similar kerffucalypses in the Buffyverse, I try to steer clear entirely.

Swouncing

Jesse! I was just talking about you last night. One of my roommates had a non-religious guest, who was confused about some of the religious stuff that come along with meals (washing hands with a blessing before eating bread, for example, but not before other foods). So I bragged about you and how, after a couple of days of trips in NYC with me, you were totally on top of all these rules.

Cashmere, he's both arodable and gorgeous at the same time! Those eyes! There are two people currently in this room with me, and both of them got up from their computers to take a better look at the picture on my screen.

it freaks me out (in a good way) thinking I helped make a person

I can't get over how it seems to contradict the mas and energy conservation rules that the universe seems to be controlled by. Nothing comes out of thin air, yet one minute there wasn't a person, and then there is, a whole complete person, right there, and how could it be created out of nothing?

Ah, I see. I thought (hoped?) it was a shoutout related kerfuffle. I didn't like the ep myself, but I'm not a fan of the show so much anyway.
