YAY JEN!
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?
'Why We Fight'
Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[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.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Congratulations, Jen!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations on the great (though totally expected, given your brains both spicy and shiny) news, Jen!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congratulations, Jen!
And Robin! Ow! My head aches in sympathy for you.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Jen!!!!! While I'm not one whit surprised, I am still happy for you!

Oh, I just checked my grade for summer term and I got an A (only took one class). Yay!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yay Jen!
Bad job, Mumter-Cow and Dadter-Cow! No housepoints for you!
We're doomed. Pirates are clearly the insidious parasitic import that's going to suffocate all the native species.
Duh. Pirates. Of course they're going to show up where they aren't wanted and be all usurpy and swashbuckly.
sighs
There are no pirates in JayTown. Not even a little bit. But there are many, my goodness, MANY, highly unattractive people, whom 20 years ago it would have been perhaps socially acceptable to lable common, and whom it really WOULD NOT be acceptable to call such now. But - my goodness, it's like a social anthropology expedition, venturing into the post office.
I realise that this is highly obnoxious of me. I am highly obnoxious. But I pretty much have kept my nose in a book since, well, birth (Harold Smith's line in Twin Peaks: "I grew up in Boston; well, no, actually I grew up in books." had me jumping and pointing and nodding like a crazy lady), and I spent my formative years being ostracised for not being appropriately working class, or at best looked upon as a strange, incomprehensible species of alien creature ("tha's gorra reet big 'ouse, 'an't tha? 'As 'ta got servants?") on the basis of being middle class...well, I don't know. I just feeling every bit as much a stranger in a strange land as I ever did in Cairo. Which is, of course, why I'm so happy to bugger off around the world - I'm used to not belonging.
Man. The extraordinarily unattractive things that people choose to do to their hair. And the clothes - dear heaven, the unbecoming clothes. And the grim neccesity of breeding as soon as one has hit puberty.
I am the most atrocious snob. I'm perfectly pleasant to everyone, and for the most part they're all very nice, but I really feel like I'm from another planet. And that is far stranger when one isn't making one's way home past women in billowing black with veiled faces, with the scent of night-blooming jasmine and the sound of the call to prayer filling the evening air.

Anyone who wants to Marcie me on the basis of that post really does so with my blessing, because I realise that I sound truly obnoxious.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Bad job, Mumter-Cow and Dadter-Cow! No housepoints for you!
Hee.

I can't even.

And thus the great dichotomy between how we see ourselves and how others see us, because that post was, to me, fantastic. There are courses in Modern British literature studying writers who aren't that good. Self-deprecation, northern English accents and exotic travel. I want to nominate that post for the Booker.
