Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ooh! I haven't read it yet, but I have the sort-of-companion CD, Songs of Misfortune, by the Love Hall Tryst. It's awesome: murder ballads and doomed lovers galore. Want me to send you a couple tracks?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Want me to send you a couple tracks?

Yes I do!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Big trouble in WBBville. I asked the BF what Peanuts character I would be and he said Lucy. LUCY!!! Because I'm "brave but can be a little bossy." I, outraged, responded "But she's crabby. Am I crabby? I don't think so. grumble crabby grumble Lucy grumble." When I asked him why he didn't see any Snoopy in me, he said, "Well, Snoopy is disloyal and runs off and leaves Charlie Brown a lot. And he steals; he takes Linus' blanket all the time. You are very loyal and honest." I never knew he had a hate on for Snoopy.

At least he instantly responded that I was Piglet when we discussed the Pooh universe.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Lucy is a badass.

move out and draw fire

Lucy is a badass. And she's the original strong female character.

Hey. New board.

I don't know enough Peanuts to really parse this conversation, I'm afraid.

Hec, when you're done with Misfortune, let me know what you think of it.

I'm pretty sure I'm a combination of Snoopy and Linus.

Well, even just starting to read it I think you would love it, Jilli. It's your kind of world.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I know enough about the Peanuts gang to say I'm a Lucy...but I don't think there's a Pooh-verse analog that fits me.

That book sounds interesting, Hec. I might have to give it a whirl.
