Reacting to problems not with "Ohgodohgod, what should I do?!" but with "So, what would move the plot along?" is much more satisfying.
!!!
This is an excellent idea. I shall be adopting this strategy.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I've spent a ton of time with Victor and Lea and adore them in all their reality.
As we adore you.
I've met a surprising amount of Buffistas for a hermitlike, workaholic imaginary person who doesn't get out much.

Plot? your life has a plot?

Am I misremembering, or weren't Victor and Thessaly at Kristin's CT send off? In which case, numerous Buffistas can attest to their not-imaginaryness.
Hmmm. If Victor and Thessaly are imaginary, did I really see the Angel series finale or just imagine I did?
As a side note, seeing Spike go to a poetry slam at the abode of two poets was a hoot. Not sure if it's quite on a par with doing the Haunted Mansion (and potentially Salem) avec Jilli, but still a treat.

Oh, it most certainly does. One just hopes that it doesn't pull a Buffy Season 7 and fall apart at the end for trying to cram too much in at once. Thankfully, no plans for a spinoff.

The timing of my arrival at that event would tend to imply a fiction plot in action.

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

I was wondering the same thing.

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
Just because you saw Victor at the Angel finale party does not make him real. You saw ANGEL there and he isn't.
Or is he?
