Matt the Bruins Fan in Previously:
Maybe previously insecurities were mitigated by (Angel) thinking "I could do that (fight) as well as she (Buffy) does if proper grooming without use of mirrors didn't eat up so much of my time"?
Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In Buffy (nonspoilery for this season):
Betsy: But, yet again, what's his [Spike's] selfish interest in helping Dawn resurrect her mother? He knows it's a bad idea, he knows Buffy will hate it, but he helps Dawn anyway?
Justkim: With any luck Dawn will spout non-event-specific praise about him to Buffy, who will then fall madly in love with him for being so caring and supportive of her little sister.
Dana: And not mind that he helped bring back her mother as a shuffling zombie? I know he's not good at long-term thinking, but...

Meara in Bitches:
Hmm. Now I"m trying to think. Would I sleep with my evil twin? I mean, I'm assuming that as an evil twin, she'd be all hot and well- dressed and shit, but...I'm thinking no. While I do sometimes look in the mirror and go "Yeah, hot tonight, baybee!" (or, well, something along those lines), I'm not really my own type...

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Jilli:
I once sat next to someone on a plane who spent the entire flight highlighting passages in their Bible. Once they got a look at me (black velvet dress, top hat, small fanged rabbit), they edged away as far as possible, and would occasionally highlight something in a determined manner, then glance over.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it

Billytea:
Meanwhile, Huzzah! I have finished my own delaying tactic. Bec and I have been doing a jigsaw in the shape of a frog, and I just upgraded his status from 'has most of his feet and maybe half his head' to 'Awww, what a cute froggie". So, go me!
And Ms. Lizard:
Bonus points for using "huzzah" and "froggie" in the same paragraph.

ita in Bitches, explaining why she doesn't try the 'crazy' card:
I can't spit and not hit a family member that has outpsychoed me without breaking a sweat. So I have a low estimation of my abilities.

Hecubus in Natter:
Emmett: Dad, can you name a monster for every letter in the alphabet, except for the vowels?
Me: So...starting with "B"?
Emmett: No, go ahead and do the vowels too.
Me: Okay. A is...Alien. B is a Balrog.... [bunch of other monsters] and L is....uh....
Emmett: Living Dead!
Me: Right. Good one. M is for Mummies. N is uh....hmmm.
Emmett: National Living Dead!
Me: Excellent choice.
Emmett: I know a good one for Z.
Me: Okay, I'll save that one for you. [bunch of other monsters] ...and U is for Undead. And V is for Voldemort. W is Werewolf. X is X-Ray Vision Man and Y is for Yeti and Z is?
Emmett: Zombie!
Me: Perfect.
Emmett: I helped with some. Like National Living Dead. That was a good one. It would be like a sport like National Football League. Except they wouldn't have any balls they'd just kick around their heads and their hands.
