I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


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."

What is even happening?

God, this is reminding me of that part in "Fortress of Solitude" where the geek boys claim that you could take any group in history and assess it through "Beatle dynamics". I thought they were hopeless, but this is worse.

Sheeesh. People should stick to using Buffy characters for these kinds of comparisons. Freaks.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I like the Eeyore to Munch comparison, too, although I see Eeyore as sort of an Oscar Wilde-an too-smart-for-you-yobbos-too-laconic-to-leave kinda guy these days.

I prefer to use a Peanuts based template for my personality typing.

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

You'd be, who, Schroeder? JZ is too sweet to be Lucy but she could be Sally.

Much as there are parts of me that would want to avoid this, I'm probably Lucy.

I'm actually more of a mix of Linus and Snoopy. In the same (yet different!) way that I think of myself as a mix of Oz and Xander.

JZ is too sweet to be Lucy but she could be Sally.

JZ doesn't have too much Lucy at all. She's even more Linus than I am. With a shot of Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown's existential fretfulness, Linus' faith and thoughtfulness with occasional bouts of Snoopy.

I picked Schoeder for the music-love, but I was torn and almost put Linus there. I think of myself as Snoopy all the way.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I suppose I would be Linus, for obvious reasons.

You've got a little Peppermint Patty for the boldness. Hmmm, though Snoopy has boldness aplenty. Though I really don't see your BF as Marcie. No.
