Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

paperdol, that's fantastic! Great publicity!

What the bleep is "chapeau"? I know it's a hat, but in this context, I am baffled.

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

The crazy people will have to answer. I can do it no justice, not being crazy enough.

So I'm poking around evite. If I'm invited to a party, I can request an email when any person I specify RSVPs? That's a little stalkery, isn't it?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I gave Joss a copy of Vampire People, he said to sign it so I did. And then he walked off carrying it cover-out while getting his pic taken with fans.

Maybe he'll remember your name now. Free publicity! It's good.

Chapeau is a turn-taking game that we are convinced that Colin made up.

Zen, it is, from what I have discerned, a race to not be the last person to post a ^ or, in real life, tent your hands over your head (like a little hat, see...) once someone starts it. Any deeper meaning, I don't know.

ETA: So I don't always discern exactly right. Kinda close!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Huh. At a summer job a few years ago, we had something like that called "The Nose Knows." Last person to touch his or her nose lost. (Generally used when we were doing something like going out to dinner, and we were all doing the "You decide," "No, you decide," "Well, I don't have any ideas, do you?" "I don't know" thing, and whoever lost was appointed to make all the decisions until we got to wherever we were going.)
