Hec's a wonderful beta.
David "Hecubus" Smay: What is this love affair you have with the colon?
David "Hecubus" Smay: You are the colon's bitch. I think a comma here.
David "Hecubus" Smay: Why must you torture me with this idiosyncratic colon use?
Poor Buffy. Your life resists all things average.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Thanks for the heads-up, RL. I expect Hecubus would give me a hard time about my passive-aggressive relationship with the semi-colon. *grin* Oh, and the comma splices. I do them on purpose, and I can't stop myself.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The semi-colon is a beautiful thing. IJS.
I feel very strongly about this.

(And then, Hec, we watched two episodes of Angel on DVD, so you get it tonight. My bad.)

Comma splices are very organic. Semi-colons are like a swinging door, sure, it's easy to get past it, but you've still got to push through the thing.
Oh, look, another comma splice. Neener.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's fine, Ple. I can't wait to stick my hands in your grammar and pinch your commas until they stiffen and turn red.

If I only had a brain...
Man, I gotta cut back on the pseuds, don't I?
Yes. Keeping track of all the various incarnations of Buffistas (Consuela, Dana, and Vee, I'm looking at you) can drive a woman to Excel.

Hey! I've only got...
Three. I think. Well, four. Kind of. And only one that I use in fandom. (not counting the p.m. marcontell one.)

Two names! I have two! And one of them is real!
Now if you want to hit me on e-mail addresses, I'd have to plead guilty there.
