This one time, at enema camp...
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?

From BBaBB:
Kat: ita et al., since you're taking requests, can you write code to directly transcribe my thoughts into the posting box? Cause that might be helpful.
ita: We're beta testing that right now.
And you have a dirty mind, BTW.

Oops, sorry. Didn't think it was specific enough to be considered spoilery.

Nutty, in the Fanfiction thread:
That sounds like how I felt about Ben-Hur when I saw it at 19. My friends were aghast I hadn't seen it, and they sat me down to watch it, and when the intermission between tapes came, I was like, "So.... gay?" And they all sort of looked at each other and said, "I don't remember it being like this when I was a kid."

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
John H:
Thuy's family live in District Four of Saigon, which is kind of South Central. The other day her brother-in-law took me for a walk around the district and at one point, took off his shirt to show me his tattoos. I thought this was just more weirdness, until Thuy explained that he was saying something like "do not fear to walk around in District Four, because people have now seen me walking around with you, and my tattoos identify me as a member of the local Organised Crime Family". So that was nice.

Sad sign I've been too headdown in fandom: I read "The transportation trouble spots for the week ahead" in the local paper and thought "Ooo! Traffic Spoilers!"

Could it be that the reason the Canadians are missing so many vowels is that Boston kidnapped them and won't let them go?
