That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Calli, in Bitches:

I've only been proposed to once, when I was helping a friend who'd gotten way too drunk. We were in college. He'd heard about doing tequila shots (lick salt, bite lime, slam tequila) but we only had vodka and lemons. So he did vodka shots. Then he started just eating the lemon wedges, peel and all, before slamming the shots. A goodly sized bottle of vodka (and about three lemons) later, he was heaving slightly used lemon wedges and other stuff into the toilet.

Since he was normally not this stupid (or at least, usually stupid in far more interesting ways than this) I stuck around to keep him pointed in the general direction of the toilet bowl, to give him some water to rinse out his mouth, and to keep him from what turned into a serious quest to drink the shampoo. In between heaving and rinsing he'd yell "I love you, Calli! Marry me, Calli!" Then he'd pound his fists on the toilet and go back to throwing up.

The neighbors called in a domestic violence report to the police.

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

amych, in Bitches:

I still occasionally get calls for the bookstore, oh, some five years later.

Actually, the best part is that I get to toy with them when I'm feeling nasty and bitter. They call asking if I have a particular book. I tell them. And then I refuse to put it on hold for them.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Natter:

Ellen: Anybody else want to try out for TAR next year?

Anne: MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

A Buffista team would be wonderful. The "we've been internet buddies for umpteen years who first met in RL when we showed up for the race" angle might appeal to the CBS PTB.

TomW: Couldn't you just pretend to be "gay virgin clowns"

Ellen: I think this is pretty much understood from the "know each other only from the internet" part.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Noise Design: I'm pretty obsessive about keeping my cell phone on the vibrate mode.

billytea: What is a technical virgin? Someone who's never gone all the way with machinery?

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

tina f. in Buffy succinctly on Willow's sexuality:

I saw her as bi before Tara came along (don't know why - I'm sure it has something to do with Faith and both of them being real hot)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

"I would get more money as a whore, because I have all of my teeth." Okay, I actually don't say that.

Oh my god. I actually can't stop laughing.

Elena in B'cracy (before the crash), on brainstorming titles for the next Firefly thread:

though I'd love to use 'morbid and creepifying' in some capacity other than my career.
