Truer words are rarely spoken than Sophia's in Natter:
I am the most fannish person I know, except for people I think are weird.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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

Jeff Mejia: Joss will write 12 issues of the new Astounishing X-Men title, beginning in May.
Ken Buddha: Astounishing?
DavidS: Both Astonishing and Astounding at the same time. Perfectly cromulent word.
Steph L.: I think it's the Canadians, personally. You know how they sneak an extra U into every word possible.
DavidS: They are sneaky with the U's. Whereas Brooklynites are sneaky with the "Youse." And New Zealanders are sneaky with the Ewes.

So Ambien and Midrin (for migraines and tensiony headaches that can lead to migraines) moved into my brain together... And they are completely losing their deposit.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
shrift discussing cons in Natter:
But I am a stealth fan, because when I get in the elevator, the people who aren't there for the con usually go, "Woo, freaky, eh?" And then I hold up my name badge and smile.

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
Cass: No raw meat in the underpants... It is a rule for a reason.

I had a krav friend go through my home looking for signs I was the ubergeek. Every. Single. Piece of evidence was a gift, most from Buffistas.
If I were left up to my own devices, I might look weird, but not particularly fannish.
Thank god for the devices of other people.

It was 35 here this afternoon, and people were in shorts and t-shirts and singing jaunty whaling tunes.
Like there's any other KIND of whaling tunes!

Calli, non-spoilery from Angel:
Well, from last week's promos I figured last night's episode would either make me laugh my ass off or suck beyond the telling of it.
My ass is in the next county.
