Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Pretty sure Jilli NEEDS to own this.

Hey. New board.

However I feel like there is no way anything he's ever written or will write could possibly be sadder.

I just started The Fault In Our Stars, but several of his book are not even sad a little bit. An Abundance of Katherines and Will Grayson, Will Grayson are both mostly happy times. And good!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Searching for Margot. Hah. Yup, pretty much. High school non entity/dweeb pursues elusive dream girl and realizes stuff about humanity and life and stuff.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Those are awesome, JZ! I'm sitting here drooling over several of them!

Rayne, I found them through the recommend-a-thing-you-love post at John Scalzi's Whatever (a week-long shopping guide divided by day: Monday and Tuesday were pimp-a-thing-you-wrote, Wednesday was pimp-your-music, yesterday was stuff-you-didn't-make-but-love-and-want-everyone-else-to-too, and today is charities-and-worthy-causes). The whole comment thread made me whimper with grabbyhands, but man, those posters!

Okay, seriously, which female Buffista doesn't need at least one of these?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I think they are lovely, but I don't think I could really wear one...if I wear plated metal, my neck(or finger, or wrist) breaks out in itchy hives.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Hola, all!

I want to mention that while Googling to track down the Aeslin mice Twitter feed, I came across the Aeslin mice SONG. Can't link, but it turns up in Google. Refrain: "Mark their rituals but my advice/ Don't give matches to the Aeslin mice."

Warning - it was an instant earworm for me. YEarwormMV.
