Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, look, in the posts John counted, clearly there's a big dropoff after the top six posters. But a LOT of other people have weighed in as well, which I think is more important.

Our wings are not tired.

I love that Kat and I both had 22 posts, yet I had less than a 3rd of the wordiness. Go ecomony of words! Or possibly Kat's posts had actual content.

edited originally for line break, but since I am here - numbah!

Who are you calling a big dropoff?

And you will note I have thus far refrained from calling anyone Madame Mao. So there.

You know, I was going to let this go, but really: Do you have a problem with someone in particular? And do you want to share who it is? Because snidely oblique comments like this really don't help any.

Huh. Apparently, I post more frequently and am more verbose with my new posting name.

Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised that 80 people had participated.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

No, and it wasn't a snidely oblique comment, nor intended as one. Unless you take John's OBVIOUSLY DIRECTED AT ME comment seriously. Which I didn't.

Next time, I shall endevour to insert a :P when sticking my tongue out at someone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

See, people mock the emoticons, but I think they have their uses.

Edit: Can someone come up with an emoticon that says "You need a serial comma there"?
