So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

(BTW, Julie, have I told you lately, or at all, that I love you?)

Hey, any season with half-nekkid AD is good by me.

No! And personally, I think it should be your tag line :)

Is this a good time to tell you that all I want for my birthday is the expurgated Angel aka "Adventures of a boy and his motorcycle"

You should see my obsessive fangirl infamous movie collection

Context? Plot?

I have a vast AD movie collection. 99% pure crap, but hell, there's always the mute button.

eh. I had a Keanu fixation that I still can't explain using rational and logical growed up words.

It stands as the acid in my litmus test of fandom oost.

I figure it's all up hill from here!

See, AD is always good, but being a Small Name Actor, the projects? Not so much.

There is a strong "eep" factor.

Ahh.. so this is where I confess that I've watched Manchild for ASH.

The things we do... :)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

OK - Ya know Caroma, I seem to see a pattern here.

When you first started posting political stuff here, you seemed to take the position that disagreement with certain positions of yours constituted an intolerable provocation to which insulting the person disagreeing with you was an appropriate response. That did not go over well here.

So, after taking a break from politics, your next position was that responding to you, since yours was a minority position on the board constituted group think.

Your current position seems to be that when you post politically, you are just joking, and to respond to you is to take things too seriously.

What all three of these positions seem to have in common is a desire for the last word, and a wish that no one argue against any point you make. I'm sure this is not intentional on your part. You could not seriously expect this to ever happen. But the common thread is definitely there. You may want to be careful in the future not to give this impression.

And to address a couple of substantive points you have made recently:

1) I don't think speaking ill of the Resident Evil is equivalent to speaking ill of those who support him. You can disagree with the majority without believing them evil or stupid - merely wrong. Some anti-abortion people take the position that anyone who is pro-choice is anti-Catholic - since the Pope has proclaimed abortion wrong, and you "cannot separate the flock from their Vicar". I find this position unconvincing about the Catholic Church, and rather less convincing about the President of what is supposed to be a democracy.

2) Your little "joke" about SUVs: I would not bring that up again, except you claimed to be tying it to me. The point of your jest was exactly the opposite of what I was saying. I was talking structuralism and institutionalism, whereas your joke put the blame on individual consumers.

Incidentally there is a marker often used to identify jokes - funniness. Humor that lacks this can be very hard to spot.

Hey, who hasn't? Plus, that other sexy guy, and the guy with the hot voice!

What's not to love?

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

Well, what if you don't *want* to take it very seriously? There's a FIAWOL and FIJAGH split starting here that might get tricky. I just don't have the time and inclination to tell a lot about myself here.

What's *it*? The fact that I'll chat till the cows come home about Buffy or Angel has NOTHING to do with how seriously I take other things, love, war, politics, whatever. And just because I may talk about them with the same people? Irrelevant.

I'd rarely tell anyone how seriously they had to take anything -- but having a discussion dismissed as too serious (especially on a serious topic) because of how we may have met? That feels like *I'm* the one being dismissed.

Nigel Havers?

He's the quintessential definition of sex on a stick, British style.

I've never quite recovered from him being Paul in the adaptation of Delderfield's A Horseman Riding By.

And that's all I'm saying about that, because I'm really not that sort of a girl. Cerebral. yeah. That's my bag, honest :)
