paperwork is signed for my leave to go work for UCLA! Happy!

awesome!!!

I love quinoa. Maybe I'll make a quinoa salad tonight! I have the world's most garlic-y hummus for lunch today. It's delicious though and the free product of an extreme flirt I was the object of the other day so I'm happy to have it! Plus delicious little carrots and grape tomatoes and feta and oil-cured black olives. And a red plum!

I admit I weakened and posted a polite correction in the Vampire-People-hater's post about 'plagiarism' because, seriously, that's not a term you should throw about spuriously or stupidly (in his case). Feh.

Thanks. He started REALLY reaching, and then challenged me on the dates in which I moved to LA, ita moved with me, and when ita's job complaints in Michigan started to resonate with me.

So I backed away from the crazyperson. Seriously.

The only thing I ever feel the need to address is charges that I'm lying, or that I've stolen other people's work.

I mean, sure, I'd like to wank the rest. Buffy the Vampire Slayer never won an Emmy. People who worked on the show have won Emmys for work done. But the show itself never got one. I think this is just semantics, but really, he's rooting around for reasons to take me down, and I'm unsure why, exactly.

I'll send a free book to anyone who makes me an awesome 150x150 ad for Whedonesque, BTW. I've been too exhausted to make one, and I really need to get one to Caroline tonight.

What? He thinks he knows better than you do the dates that things happened in your own life?

Oookay.

He started REALLY reaching, and then challenged me on the dates in which I moved to LA, ita moved with me, and when ita's job complaints in Michigan started to resonate with me.

Damn. How would he even know these dates? And why would he care?

Backing away from the crazy person is good.

Does the guy even realize that it's a humor book?

Yay, Kat! Will you actually be working on campus at UCLA? If so, we could meet up sometime when I'm there for class...

Remember that poor woman who was stoned that Joss wrote up a (brilliant) essay about? Apparently other Iraqis don't like their ways either [link] I heard about it on NPR this morning - they said Iraqis were outraged by the stoning.

Huh. That's a deep divot.

paperdol, you've done what you can. It's time to back away from the craxy.

paperdol, that guy is a mildly foolish ass and unworthy of your energy.

The person I really want to smite is the commenter who said something along the lines of, "Gee, I bet this is all so much more fun than the actual book (not that I've actually read it or seen it or exerted myself to have an actual informed opinion on it in any way), and I sure hope you keep posting your 'favorite bits' from it so we can all point and laugh!" Not only said that, but said it right the hell underneath a post indicating that the author in question was reading the damn thread. Way to announce to the entire universe just what a no-class, mean-spirited little cockbite you are, you little no-class cockbite.

Though I can't shake the suspicion that, in sneering at this person in a forum they don't read and calling them a cockbite, I am myself kind of a cockbite.

JZ--you are a delight and a dollface, and therefore NOT a cockbite.
