I'm betting there was alcohol involved.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

I always find the analogous, "Why did you want children?" to be nearly impossible to answer.
Joe asks me this sometimes because my desire for more children is definitely stronger than his, but I can't ever provide a really satisfying answer. I just do. A blog I follow dealt with this question a while back and it was very interesting to me how many people felt the same way.

And this is why I use a pseudonym. Although I'm beyond busted if they monitor internet usage closely.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I keep (arrogantly) thinking that I may want to switch to a pseud for a little while when the book first comes out. To avoid crazies coming here to take a hit in case I used some wrong word choice about BtVS or Firefly.
