Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I don't often go to the main Buffistas.org page, so i haven't looked at our main description for a while.

Currently:

A community dedicated to discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness. Read our FAQ, then join the fun.

Maybe we should update that so as not to appear static/dead/archaic.

something like

A community originally founded on discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly. Now tackling every subject with the same humor, intelligence and obsessiveness. Read our FAQ, then join the fun.

Just a suggestion, but it probably could be worded better than I have suggested.

Our wings are not tired.

I'd like it even more with a comma after "Angel"....

Running away now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Running away with javachik!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I can see it now, P-C. They'll be all, "she Devil!" and you'll be all, "but... but... she loves the Oxford comma, like I do!" "So you love the Oxford comma more than your own mother?" Silence on the line. "Well do you?... Polter?" Silence. "Polter?" "Hold on, I'm thinking..."

The status is NOT quo.

I really love that new description.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wouldn't tell people they have to read the FAQ.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Because books.

Wasn't someone rewriting it? Sophia, maybe?
