Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

HARRUMPH.

In response to

Conditioning works?

Jilli said

Well, yes.

I know - without question - that it does *not*. You're anything but a helpful assistant/minion/henchwoman! I know Clovis has your loyalty - but still! Could you PRETEND that the "obey Alex in his Quest to Rule the World!" conditioning works?

According to sub-clause iii of section "bzzt!" of the Minion Union Handbook, erm, no. Sorry?

Sorry?

(squints disapprovingly, much like the RealHusband is wont to do)

No you're not. You're secretly filled with GLEE.

NO NO - don't make the big anime eyes at me and protest your innocence. I've known you longer than most of the Buffistas have been alive - I'm not taken in by *that* tactic any longer.

Hrmph. Perkygoths.

I don't think you were EVER taken in by that tactic.

So! Buffistas should come back to Seattle. Now, please.

Our wings are not tired.

(Jilli, thanks for writing an awesome book and coming down to Burlingame to read and going out to dinner afterwards - and thanks Juliana for waiting on us so cheeryfully!! I met cool peeps that night, have friended them on LJ, and am thrilled for the new friends!!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The new friends are great! Laurel and I have been e-mailing and making plans for the concert next week.

I'm almost done reading Powers, so I can finally start reading the book tomorrow. Which, conveniently enough, is New Comic Book Day.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So! Buffistas should come back to Seattle. Now, please.

I'm afraid I can't make it. But if you could drop by in a fortnight or so we could have petits fours and finger sandwiches in a cemetery.

Buffistas should come back to Seattle. Now, please.

I think you should come here to promote your book!
