Madrigal in Unamericans, on who was supposed to Represent the Common Potential:
See, I thought that was Stupid Fucking Hat Girl - which is actually her legal name, though she had to be baptized Stupid Frickin' Hat Girl since her family's Mormon.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Mostly lurking...
Aimee in Bitches:
wanders into Bitches for some lighthearted Friday morning banter...
t miracles
t religion
t beliefs
Hmmm.....
By some stroke of divine intervention, I am wearing a brand new outfit that I coveted. Miracles at work, I got it for $30 (orgonally $100) and I believe I am beautiful.
There.

erika's asstastic spirituality in Bitches:
I often think I should get serious about something spiritually, cause right now I've got Half-Assed Christianity and Half-Assed Buddhism floating around similtaneously...I need a path my whole ass likes.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Megan really should have included her set up, as I just took what she posted and ran with it:
I agree with Sue's assessment of Charisma's acting, however, compared to Elizabeth Rohm, she's Laurence Olivier.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
billytea, in Bitches, as part of a discussion that sprang from an NPR story on a group of conservative Christian cattle breeders trying to genetically engineer a pure red heifer without spot or blemish, which is necessary to bring on their version of the Apocalypse:
And anyway, the Bible says the day comes as a thief in a night, not as a lab tech in a white coat shaking a test tube of bull's semen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson in Natter:
You know, I don't want to be a friggin administator. Every scientist here asks me why I don't get my degree so I can be an administrator.
First of all, "I have a BA," I say.
"Well, why wouldnt you just go get a business degree, then? They say.
I say, "Why don't you go get a degree in nursing?"
They look puzzled.
"See, you dont get a degree in nursing because you dont WANT to be a nurse. Just like I dont get a degree in Business Administration because I don't WANT to be an administrator." I explain.
"But it's more money." they reason.
"OK, but see, when I die and go to hell, i won't burn, i will be forced to balance spreadsheets all day. That would be hell. And so. If I had to go balance a spreadsheet, the next sound you would hear would be the bullet going through my skull."
"But wouldn't you get more money as an administrator?" they say.
"I would get more money as a whore, because I have all of my teeth." Okay, I actually don't say that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Nora Deirdre, in response.
What do I know from back alley, cash only fellatio?
And she seemed like such a nice girl.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hee. I notice that you've expunged her insistence that the answer is 'nothing'.
