thanks!
Very odd -- all I did was change "white" to "#ffffff"
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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
Steph L.: Can you decipher that for the linear among us?

Fay, in Smallville (context? Who needs it?):
I forget about the need for a bushel - I'm all with the waving my light around, and then suddenly I notice that the other lights are either becomingly shrouded by bushels or else pretty dim, and then I'm all OhFuckI'mBeingObnoxiousAgain! And then there's the little rush of mortified guilt. And a few minutes later the cheerful swinging around of the unhidden light again, like Lady Liberty on E.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I went back and fixed this post:

Because Ellen had snagged the wrong starting quote. Betsy and I were talking about Angus, not Jennifer Crusie or Jim Crace.

Fay: I have my own minion train!!!
amych: I need to be on the minion train. If you don't let me, I'll crash all the Minion Board Meetings. I'll eavesdrop and hear about your Evil Plans, and run and do your Evil Bidding before the other minions even find the keys to their cars! ('Cause I hid them, you see.) I'll dress exactly like all the other minions, and when people ask me at parties and such if I'm a Minion of Fay, I'll say that I am. And when the tabloids call to confirm rumors that I am not actually a minion, I'll say, "No comment," but then I'll whisper, "Off the record? Totally a minion."

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
Betsy in Natter (because she is me):
I was reading yet another article about the Leonids tonight. I realized that not only was I not getting out of bed at 2:30 for the Leonids, I wouldn't get out of bed if I knew they were going to be purple and gold and spell out "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin George Bush This Means You".

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
RL, much as I'm flattered at the attribution, I don't remember writing that minion-of-Fay post. Maybe it was amyth?

Oh, probably, sorry. You've got similar cadences as well as similar names. I'm on this crappy public computer and its fonts are completely whacko, I can barely read.

From NAFDA Buffy, re: Spike:
Betsy Hanes Perry She sure was doing a convincing job of picking him up in the bar, then.
Trudy Booth Who wouldn't?
Betsy Hanes Perry Well, me. I'd go all fumfuh and embarrassed and "er, can I have your toothograph?"

Connie Neil: And now I have this image of an unshaven guy sitting in front of computer, wearingonly his briefs and chewing on a cigarette as he types, "Tiffany gazed tremulously up at Dirk, her untouched heart beating with new passion."
PMM: This is dangerously close to how I write, only I'm sucking down boilermakers, and there ain't nothing untouched about "Xander gazed tremulously up at Spike, the rational part of him hoping with passion that the chains would hold--the secret, dark, only-hinted-at-by Larry part thrilling with the notion that they might not."
