"She had eyes harder than the Hope Diamond, and a history twice as cursed."
Nice construction. Reminds me of the line in Ball of Fire describing a sore throat: "Red as the Daily Worker and twice as sore."
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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."

Ouch. That's practically Xanthian.
Okay, leave off the "harder than" construction, and describe a crazy person in fandom using a Chandlerian simile.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She was nuttier than a pecan pie at Thanksgiving.
(No offense to Nutty.)

That gal makes about as much sense as a cheetah in a squash court.

I also kinda like...
"She was nuttier than Vin Diesel's package."
"He's crazy like OCD at at the Whack-a-Mole crazy."
"She needs to be hunted down and shot with lithium darts."

Heh. I like it.
She had eyes harder than Condi's hindparts.
Hindparts is a little maidenly, eh?

Yeah...if I were Chandler, I'd say Snatch or gash, I suppose. Or ass, depending. But for myself, I couldn't decide.(And I don't use those words, especially.)
