The money was too good. I got stupid.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

That gave me shivers of the soul, erika.

I hope that's a good thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's great, erika. Really, to get all buffista about it, means a thing. The way you have crafted it really conveys that meaning well.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Thanks, Erika, for capturing one of the moments that made me proudest to be a Buffista.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Lovely, erika. More lovely for being truth.

Indeed, it is! It left me all choked up sniffling.

There are lots of great Buffista stories, but that may be the one I have the biggest part in. Although the time we rode through the car wash to meet Allyson and Nilly(and she found a place that was accessible and kosher) was pretty great too.

Our wings are not tired.

Thank you, erika! That brings back wonderful memories.

While working out yesterday, "And we danced" came on. I thought - I wonder what that couple is doing now. And this song suddenly came to me, pretty much word for word like this:

Liars in Love

Our first time together was just for one night.
No promises. No tomorrow. We were hard core all right.
When the morning came, we were cooing like doves.
What can I say? We were liars in love.

We decided to be just a bit more than friends,
Keep our own places, cause it would soon end.
We moved in together into a small flat above
A struggling laundry. We were liars in love.

We'd never get married we told one and all.
Like the song said, no paper from no city hall.
At our wedding, friends sang "Mazel tov".
Now everyone knew we were liars in love.

We swore to ignore St. Valentine's Day.
But the house fills with chocolate in some unknown way.
I guess even now, when push comes to shove,
After 25 years, we're still liars in love.
