Crying over the little bee girl. But a lot of Buffistas have said similar things about finding this community.
This weekend, I was at a cookout The Boy's family had, and I got to spend a long time talking with his 15-year-old niece, who was so very Buffista I wanted to kidnap her. (I don't know what I would have done next, as it was a squee-driven impulse, and I probably would have returned her, after letting her borrow my DVDs.)
She's all Quiz Team, theatre geek, way scary smart, grooves on geeky minutiae, and just the sweetest thing EVAR. Kind of (but just a little) shy in that way that you are when you're 15 and talking to your uncle's girlfriend, y'know?
She reminded me of a finely-crafted blend of JZ and Holli.

With a strong streak of SA's boldness.
The Boy told me the next day that I probably just made his niece's day, geeking out with her like that. (I said, "Have you learned NOTHING about me yet??? I LIVE for chances to geek out like that!!!")
Anyone watching House? I missed the first ten minutes. Can you catch me up?
Well,
they fished a couple from Cuba out of the ocean, leaving behind her medical records. Though they don't seem to speak English, they ask for House. The man in question is lurking around, being uninvolved in Foreman's going away party. Wilson tells him that Foreman's afraid of being who he *thinks* House is, not who House actually is (which is clearly someone who cares) and House needs to convince him not to go. At about the eight minute mark, they start the differential. They don't think it's a simple infection, so Cameron gets an MRI and Chase compares the husband's symptoms. Foreman is checking his LJ or something on the computer, and he and House share A Look Fraught With Significance. As Chase is checking the husband, he tells him that House doesn't care that they came a thousand miles, but that they made the right choice anyway. That's about the ten minute mark.
Corset.
Turns out there was painting in my bathroom today. The door is closed, and the small Vornado's in there trying to buy me some peace.
However I have a honking great migraine anyway, since I had to breathe when setting the whole thing up.
Corset.
Now I can't breathe either.
ita, that's a killer outfit!
Awesome ita outfit!!
ION, Man in underwear wrestles leopard
A man clad only in underwear and a T-shirt wrestled a wild leopard to the floor and pinned it for 20 minutes after the cat leapt through a window of his home and hopped into bed with his sleeping family.
"This kind of thing doesn't happen every day," said 49-year-old Arthur Du Mosch, a nature guide. "I don't know why I did it. I wasn't thinking, I just acted."
Raviv Shapira, who heads the southern district of the Israel Nature and Parks Protection Authority, said a half dozen leopards have been spotted recently near Du Mosch's small community of Kibbutz Sde Boker in the Negev desert in southern Israel, although they rarely threaten humans.
Shapira said it was probably food that lured the big cat. Leopards living near humans are usually too old to hunt in the wild and resort to chasing down domestic dogs and cats for food, he added.
Du Mosch's pet cat was in the bed with him at the time, along with his young daughter who had been frightened by a mosquito in her own room.
Shapira said the leopard was very weak when park rangers arrived at Du Mosch's home after the surprise late-night visit. He said nature officials would likely release it back into the wild.
Du Mosch said he probably would not have been able to control the big cat were it in better health. As a nature guide, he said, he was familiar with animals and did his best to hold down the leopard without harming it. He said he took it all in stride, "but the kids were excited."
