I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Joe and I have the same thing when he explains things to me that I already know, but he assumes I don't.

E has a habit of repeating things I've said to him ten seconds earlier as if I hadn't said them. (Like, I'll say "Hey look at that cute dog over there," and ten seconds later he'll say. "Oh, see that cute dog over there?" It's adorable.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I did see it, and I am a lame feeder-backer. Smart and thoughtful, as is usual with your writing. And yeah, the whole thread of questioning what superness means, the struggle with the identities and with other people's and your own expectations for those selves, and oh the pain.

I don't know why Buffy had to take up with that stupid Immortal. She and Spidey could have such lovely bittersnarky(very slightly teary) up-till-4-a.m. nestled together under the comforter conversations.

Also, re your Michael Savage problem? If you move to Berkeley, no more commuting with your trollish uncle and being trapped with the radio.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

But it's an organic way to deal with the impending summer ant problem.

No, it'll just sit there and drink all my beer and wanna play handball while mooning over a stripper.

No aardvark.

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

If you move to Berkeley, no more commuting with your trollish uncle and being trapped with the radio.

Live105 all the way!

I need to find an apartment. Somehow. Soon.

Also, these people need to tell me what's really going on with my future because technically, this is my last official day here. My internship is ending. And they want to me to stay, but they haven't figured out in what capacity yet.

Don't even get me started - what a waste of a character AND an actor. Not that TLJ would ever have been my idea for Harvey (neither was Billy Dee, but that's more because I'm not sure he would have worked as Two-Face - sure Lando was two-faced, but in a SMOOOOTH way), but without Jim Carey around as a bad influence and a different director I think he could have played an interesting version of the character.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A stripper? Like, a MEMBRANE STRIPPER?!?!?!?!?

Bah. I just went and Googled and yellow page'd around looking for the housing/sublet/roommate referral service I used a few years ago to find my completely awesome (except for the deadbeat landlords) affordable 1BR apt in Berkeley, and I'm coming up completely blank. I know exactly where it is, too (downtown Berkeley BART, the intersection with the toy and game shop on the corner, walk up that street toward campus, and it's about halfway up the block); I just can't find the damn name.

What is even happening?

Trudy beat me to it. I had MM's post on my clipboard and was ready to go.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I know exactly where it is, too (downtown Berkeley BART, the intersection with the toy and game shop on the corner, walk up that street toward campus, and it's about halfway up the block); I just can't find the damn name.

Go to Google Earth and zoom in 'til you see it.

Wait, that won't work, but wasn't there a service where you could see pictures of a business if you knew the address/block it was on, etc?
