No problem, Connie. Thank you!
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

In the it's all about me news:
Ok, I'd really appreciate it if anyone who was planning on reading my story did not critique anything, since I've just spent about $20 making 23 copies of it, and I'm not going to change it and print new versions, so if someone makes a brilliant critique, it is only likely to make me upset because I can't implement any changes. So, um, yeah. Feel free to read it, or not, whatever you want, but the critiquing window has closed. If that means I should take down the link, I can do that too. Thanks!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I read the story and enjoyed it, Alibelle.

Thanks, guys.
Edit: My post really wasn't meant to be a chastisement, I just didn't want to get critiques after I spent money. Also, I wasn't sure if I should leave the link up, if I did not want critiques. And to say thanks again, for all the support.

Not only is the English copier not free, it's completely hands off for students. You can make copies at the library for ten cents a copy. At Kinko's I would've spent about $37. At The Paper Clip, I spent $16.24. I feel like I got quite a deal, other than the part where it should be free, but isn't.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Need someone to beta a comic book script of mine.
Knowledge of the title The Authority would be helpful.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
New poem, prompted by recent events...
Any thoughts welcome. I'm VERY new to writing poetry.

Daylight Savings Time
I shake my tiny fist ineffectually
at the 5:00 darkness.
An hour stolen with the
turn of a dial.
Shadows creep into corners
that only a week ago
held puddles of sunshine.
Gloom is the backdrop
as day is kidnapped by night.
The days grow shorter.
