Man, I don't fit in around here, huh? ;)
Piffle. We've missed you around here.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am about a quarter of the way through The Golden Compass. I'm really liking it! I need to put a hold on The Amber Spyglass so the library has it ready when I finish this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I liked Life of Pi a LOT (except the very end, which pissed me off), and I think I'm generally pretty unwilling to read boring.

P-C, you'll want The Subtle Knife before Amber Spyglass.

Er. Yeah, that's totally what I meant! (Thanks for setting me straight, though; I totally would have gotten the wrong book!)

Tim Cox - Buffy: Anya, that thing you created burst through solid pavement and ate her dog.
Anya (anguished): Oooh, puppy!
I kept reading it in starts and stops because it just couldn't hold my interest.
Thats my problem too, but I started it with only a few weeks before i have to have it done, and now Im down to 3 more days to finish it. 200 pages of boring, then not, then boring in 3 days!

Probably better than me. My posts are mostly ignored in the Natter thread

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It takes a while for folks to get used to a new person. I remember being thrilled when someone finally noticed one of my posts, long after I delurked.

And natter moves fast....and can make even longtime posters feel like "Didn't anyone SEE my important post about X? Geeez"

Always Anti-fascist!
yes...totally. Hey rookie, paypal me a quarter. Or maybe I should call you Brittany, because I read that your name is Mr. Cox and that ab-so-LUTE-ly sends me to a Perry Cox place. Sorry about that, Sheila.(You know, cause you're a newbie?) And, don't ask. I won't be your mentor ;)
