billytea: I think the most promising career change could be into some sort of teaching or training (possibly in my current field), because it would allow me to blend my twin interests of helping people and being a smart-ass.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

You're in pain. Don't give a second thought about its being attractive. When you are lying on the floor writhing, it is not your job to be ornamental.

If I only had a brain...
ita: My mother warned me not to date West Indians.
I've been good.
Perkins: My mother warned me not to date Caltech students.
I wasn't so good.
Erin: My mom never warned me off anyone.
I've been bad.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That should tell you something about W. family dynamics. That, and the fact that my great-great grandmother once wrote in her diary "All of my best children are dead."

Shrift, in FF: RW+E, extends a cake=fic metaphor:
I just want to make it clear that, since there are Buffistas here whom I know and respect writing RPF, I sometimes lament that they're writing stuff That Is Not My Beautiful Cake, I would never want to come off as an abusive psycho to any of them.
Your Cake Is Not My Cake. You Are Welcome to Think My Cake Has Crack in It.
Our Cakes May Coexist Peacefully, Provided That Neither of Us Forces the Other to Eat It, Too.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Some non-spoilery speculation from Angel:
ita: Where is Groo?
deborah grabien: He's probably a waiter at Spago, or Schatzi on Main, or Mezza Luna.
"Hi! I'm the Groozelack (sp?), and I'll be your server tonight. Our special is Chilean sea bass in lime and cilantro butter!"
Jess PMoon: "A green salad is not the proper appetizer for a Champion. May I suggest the tomato-basil soup?"

Nilly: I've just seen "Files and Records" (it's my job) for the very first time! And my eyes definitely do not do that thing with the sound when I manage to find the things I'm looking for! Also, whenever I try to do those wheeling-on-the-chair movements, my skirt gets caught up in it.
