The someone is omnis_audio.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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
Kristin T: Nothing like coming home to sex talk!
billytea: Yeah. Unless you still live with your parents.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Sniffle... sniffle.... Duno what's worse. Being "someone" or having your one of your bestest friends spell your name wrong... sniffle... sniffle.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Steph L. in Natter:
See, *real* moral failings are much harder to criticize from a car window: "You claim to be in favor of a working wage and affordable health insurance for everyone, but I saw you shopping at Wal-Mart, which clearly contradicts your previously stated beliefs!"
That would have to be one really sloooooow drive-by.

serial comms. Debetesse in Boxed Set:
(Exposition fairies love pilot season. They all get together and watch the new shows and compare notes and say things like, "Oooh, nicely integrated." and "You did not just do voice-over. Oh my Gawd, we need to stage an intervention")

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
SusanW in Bitches:
So I'm working away on my manuscript. A colonel is flattering his commanding officer a bit, talking about the utter success of their most recent action.
He called it "a glorious battle."
In my mind's eye, my characters instantly morphed from humans in the elegant officers' uniforms of 200 years ago, developing ridged foreheads and growing long, long hair. Their discreet glasses of claret disappeared, replaced with great goblets of blood wine. My colonel's concern that the general would give him a stern tongue-lashing upon learning he allowed an important enemy leader to slip through his fingers became shame and terror that his fearsome commander would declare him without honor and kill him where he stood.
So. Humans cannot fight glorious battles. The very phrase transforms them into Klingons.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tommyrot: It's the "often at great risk" thing that confuses me. Car chases? Knife fights? Those billionaire philanthropists lead a life of danger.
Jesse: Dude, you have no idea -- Warren Buffett faces more ninjas before lunch than I do all day.
