Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I WANT THAT.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I dunno, but I've been promised one.

Garber is purty. And makes a lovely granddaddy on tv. May you be the goddess of auctions much longer, Allyson. You've got magic.

Sophia, one other thing: carfax.com. I've declared that I won't buy a new used car until after the 2006 models are done due to Katrina, Rita et al because of flood issues. If you get something earlier, seriously research its background on account of that. I fear there will be many many flood damaged used cars on the market. Align yourself with a reputable mechanic to check that sort of thing out. In any case, shelling out $100 to your mechanic is worth it. When I bought my latest car ($7.2K for a 3 year old car) the dealer was asking 8.5 with fixes. With my mech's appraisal, and no dealer fixes, I got it. And the mech went under appraisal for the fixes. All said, I cheated the dealer out of at least $750.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

However, it at least is the one that makes me giggle thinking about a wee Jesse thinking it was about ice cream.

Dagnabbit! I didn't even read the whitefont!!

Main credit card recommendation to college kids in particular--no matter how much the company reps say it's a good idea, do NOT get a credit card when in college, especially not one with a $2500 limit, especially when you're only bringing home about $40 a week from your part-time job at the campus library.

God yes. I didn't even go nuts with the credit when I was in college, but I was confident I would make enough money after I graduated to pay it all back. Then I temped for 8 months or something, then got a job as a secretary for a nonprofit. Not so much with the ability to pay back the debt. Oy.

My school's ceremony was lovely, I have to say.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Damn, ita. Your week needs to die several spectacularly gruesome and bloody deaths.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Wait. What the hell is an Alias bike?
Who cares... It is signed by Victor Garber...

Mmmm, signed by Victor Garber.

I could be signed by Victor Garber. I really could.

Still working...still on the first project plan. And the business unit is going to be SO happy when they see it. Which is why we're still trying to shave time off it.

Stylish. And only slightly trampy.

Okay, a lot.

t disowned I'm one of those people who had no issue with credit. t /disowned

I come from a family whose g'parents kept their savings in the chickenhouse and whose parents first loan was for a $20 matress, in pursuit of a credit rating so they could get a mortgage on a $20K house (which sold for $45K 15 years later) so I come by it honestly. Frankly, I'm way way too prone to the under the matress form of savings.

Like so many things, it's her body that makes it so trampy. On someone with no boobs, it might be more cool and less slutty looking.
