Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

That is because we have only ever met in Los Angeles, and we drove everywhere.

We walked across the street to the Wok place!

But fast walking has never seemed particularly lesbianish to me. If that's the case, I'm definitely a lesbian.

Also, weren't you in SF for that F2F? I thought for sure we'd seen each other one other time outside of LA, because I remember us being glad to see each other again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, does anyone know if "It is not enough to conquer; one must also know how to seduce" is from a book, or if it was something said in conversation or a speech? I'm trying to find the precise French for it, and don't know where to start.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

he was thereafter sarcastic and he beat up the FE

That's almost as good as the Vatican's "not for passing rudely, and not for picking up hookers."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My question of the day:

How can you get through college and an entire year of law school and still be confused by a book just because it has chapter AND section numbers?

Is that the original, or did you translate what I wrote?

I came across that and my other favourite Voltaire quote ("Si nous ne trouvons pas des choses agréables, nous trouverons du moins des choses nouvelles.") in French originally, but never committed the exact phrasings to memory. The other one was pretty easy to track back to Candide, but this one is used everywhere especially, it seems, on deviantart.com. I want them back.

That could be.
