Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Scola-palooza!

You know, you'll be passing through DC ... I don't have any space to offer you for a stay, so if you can't stop over, I'll be understanding ... disappointed but understanding. I know you stayed with Vortex a good while ago; did she happen to take you to Teaism, our local tea version of Starbucks?

YAS! Scolapalooza.

But oh dang! I am at a conference in Myrtle Beach from the afternoon of 3/26 - 3/30. NOOOOO.

I mean, you can stay at my place anytime. I'll make sure you have a key. But I want to be around when you are there! And there's no way I can get out of this conference. Dammit!

(You could even have the use of my car, because I'm not taking it to the conference, but this bites!)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay Scolapalooza!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Scolapalooza is the best palooza!

OH! speaking of F2Fery, I (with spouse) will be in NYC in a week, Thursday - Sunday, and would love to meet up with Buffista-style humans! Evenings are pretty booked, but we're otherwise free.

I did not. I confess that somehow I didn't know that Scola drank tea and had none in the house. I felt terrible. So, now I have some. Which I throw most of away every six months because I don't like tea. But, I have it for guests now.

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

Aw, I always find it so charming when people keep stuff in stock just for guests.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

This made me realize I've had a half bottle of Old Overholt whiskey for guests' benefit that hasn't been touched in the better part of a decade. Maybe I need to look up some recipes that involve whiskey in the cooking?
