I knew Ellen S. in college, and it was a complete coincidence to meet her at b.org.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My acquaintance coincidence was Zoe. She knew one of my college roommates.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Replace "Ellen S." with "Calli," and I could say the same as flea.

I always wonder which Buffistas knew each other before
Lee and I know each other from grad school, pre-'fistas.
While working at Berkeley, we'd get a message a couple times a year that the students were protesting something and might be disrupting classes with advice about how to handle the mob and/or permission to cancel class that day.
As a librarian there, the last collective bargaining agreement I was covered by included a clause in which our union had negotiated away the right to strike.

Also, last year, Gallaudet College had a big strike, as they did a few years ago, too. But they are a special case, being the only college for the deaf, i.e. the only game in town.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I always wonder which Buffistas knew each other before they were either Buffistas or active on Salon's TT.
I recruited shrift to the Buffistas, though we still met in fandom.

Happy birthday, beth!
I don't think I eat bacon 14 times a month, and I love bacon. I eat it maybe once a week, and not very much when I do.
And in work news, I always find it funny when users get huffy and CC: their bosses about being denied access to certain resources when 99% of the time it just turns out they've forgotten their password.

I had no idea. That's so cool!
Remember when Angus found out that one of the other Australian posters was actually one of his students?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's funny, people randomly coming across each other here! I think I only know people here from here.

Thrive to spite them
Daniel and I met through a Buffy related chat. I think I found the chat room after I found the Buffistas (this was back on Table Talk).
