One day, I will study real linguistics. It's a dream of mine.
Am-Chau, I'm a student in the amateur, did-some-in-college, sometimes-take-a-night-class-now sense, rather than the erinaceous sense. I got a couple of books, I sat down and read them, I made a fool of myself writing flashcards and funny letters, and Bob was my uncle. Or continues to be my uncle. Next up: actually learning Latin beyond "In horto est puella, nomine Flavia." Not that girls in gardens aren't important.

And I'm a student in the I-bought-a-second-hand-book, I-read-most-of-it-and-then-haven't-found-time-to-actaully-finish-it-even-though-I-was-enjoying-it-on-the-days-I-felt-clever sense. So you beat me.
just because the idea of Spike/Xander doesn't turn me on.
No, no ... tell me it ain't so ... there are such afflicted people out in the world? There needs to be a fundraiser, a PBS telethon, something to help these people! What color ribbon should we make for Liz Taylor to wear?
I'm just not into slash, period. I understand intellectually why other people are, but it's not a turn-on for me.

Spike would vote for Black and red- and nothing but the ribbon.
It's all right, Susan, we still love you. Between you, who don't see it, and me, who writes the darn stuff, we're probably average.

Connie, Connie, Connie. They're just pre-slashers. It's okay. They'll grok the HoYay eventually.

Fair enough. I understand interllectually that some people don't find the idea of two guys getting it together a turn-on. I'm just not one of them- but then, there are people who like RPF, people who can read things based on cartoons- which I don't and can't.
Connie, Fay and I are all falling over our x-posts in an attempt to say the same thing.
