Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

'Get It Done'

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Please stop talking about people who like Ann Coulter. It makes my heart hurt.

Tell me the last thing that made you smile?

Matilda shifting from groggy to fully awake, seeing my face, breaking into a huge smile, and grabbing my cheeks so she could pull my face down and eat it with glee this morning at a little after 7.

I've smiled some "Hi, hello, how are you?" smiles at work since then, but those are all polite social smiles. The baby-eating-my-face smile was the real thing.

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

It would have to be magic sex with no touching. And I would not be required to do anything.

People in my meeting, the projector thinks it's a second monitor. But why listen to me? Let's just stare at irrelevant menus for a bit.

Because books.

Tell me the last thing that made you smile?

Sara leading Lucy (the dog) around the house on a leash. That and finding Oreo Cookie ice cream in the freezer.

Okay, that part actually made me squeal in delight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Please stop talking about people who like Ann Coulter. It makes my heart hurt.

You probably don't want to read their review of Ann's book, Godless, then....

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

My last smile, last sincere smile, was probably watching Eureka at lunch and thinking that I might get to see Colin soon.

There have been work smiles since, but they don't count.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had a sincere smile about trying to guess what race people are by their names. Don't ask.

Always Anti-fascist!

ew...Coultergeist cooties. Personally, for her book, how about "Shameless"? Maybe that's just me. Although she has been Worst Person an awful lot... not as much as Billo, but she has the will to win.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Tell me the last thing that made you smile?

In a good way? Talking to a dj who works in my building about going to see his reggae band play this month.

In an evil way? Email round robin tearing someone a new asshole.

Okay, so it made me smile in the dirty way, but that counts, right?

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

But I want to know, Jesse! I could have another sincere smile.

Right now I'm weighing the odds of me living until 7:45 tonight. Not looking too good.
