Oh damn. That is so hard and painful, for *anyone*, but....damn.
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."
Does one watch oneself in this scenario?
belatedly repeating what every one else says - yes in the early stages you know exactly what was happening. And quite often you go on knowing you are missing something until you forget how to speak. And even then a friend told me how her mother would try to speak even after she know longer could, and got frustrated at that. Even when she had forgotten how to communicate she knew she should be able to communicate. And yeah, no one deserves it but Pratchett especially does not. It is not a quick loss; you lose yourself a bit at a time, and are aware of it through much of it - maybe most of it.
I watched most of the second half of Hogfather last night. As soon as we unpack the paperbacks, I'ma read it.
Next Con, I'm going as Susan.

I'll front you the buck if you come up with the rest.
Next Con, I'm going as Susan.
Susan is a very cool character. "I'm the inner babysitter."
HMOG that's impressive!
What an exquisite space.
Those books are messing up the space! I'd want to just lie on the floor and stare around.
