I think you missed Jackal too, T. Boo!
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Damn! I'm such an idiot. I just didn't want to presume or intrude.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You're Tamara! There's no presumption or intrusion! They know your pixels, as it were.

I still feel like a fraud at my own workplace. Like it will be found out any moment that I am an actual fan of what we produce and will be summarily fired. So I keep my head down I try not to geek out to often. Even though I have received the most praise around here for actually being familiar with the product.
I need to get over it.

I have a friend who works on Doctor Who. During her interview, she was asked 'Are you a fan of the show?'. She said no. And got a big tick. She's a massive fan girl.

You'd think that being a fan of the show would be an asset. But I guess that means you can't be objective? About the story you will be telling, which you presumably should...like?

Well, she doesn't write the story, she's production.

I don't know if I've told this story before but I think you might appreciate it.
Many years ago, when I was working at a TV-Lit agency, we had a meeting over at ICM and I was brought along to take notes. Tim's agent was in the meeting and, at one point, a show that Tim had worked on came up but the agent couldn't remember the name of the series.
Without even thinking about it, I mumbled, "High Tide."
The whole meeting kind of stopped, everyone looked at me, and the agent in question said, "How did you KNOW that?"
My boss cheerfully explained, "Kristen is our resident Buffy and Angel expert!"
I kept my head down for the rest of the meeting, while praying that the earth really would open up and swallow me whole.

Ha, that's a cute story, Kristen.

Thanks, Kristen. You should have seen the looks I got at a meeting with the studio when I explained why we should use the BSG Razor movie as a comparable to something we may do. It may have been respect or it may have been fear. I'm still not sure.
