I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I hate buying music and then realizing I already owned it. It's happened ... well more than twice. Clearly *I* am the fool in that situation.

I've done that with board games. In my defence, while waiting for the first one to arrive.

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

That's worse, not better.

Bonny--called it in one. The movie is giving me great squick, though. I have old-friend-kissing issues, and breaking-the-vows issues.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I believe ours included 'til death. But I don't remember a lot of it -- the whole getting married in vegas on our way to CA didn't really lead to lots of choices - or even interest in the details.

I didn't get married until I actually already felt married. for me -- that means life partner - -and the point of getting legally married was to make sure the State and everyone else recognized it.

Compassionately intolerant

Score!

While I don't have the old-friend squick, I'm with you on the breaking the vows thing. But there are other things I just love about that movie. Milos Foreman chief among them. And Ann Bancroft and the electronics store guy and Cuddy! I have a great fondness for it.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Happy birthday, Strega!

I believe ours included 'til death

I read it "I believe ours included death". Hi, morning!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

My wedding could have included "we've replaced his wedding vows with Folger's Crystals, let's see if he notices" for all I know, it all being in Mandarin.

Fuck if I know what was in my wedding vows, and it was two months ago and in English.

Ha. I love my denial.

I forgot mornings included work, and now I'm a bit resentful about it messing with my internet fun.

bon totally pledged to obey bob, pass it on.

bonny, it was a sweet movie, the bits I could watch. Funny that I think the hottest Michael Vartan looked was as the dirty fallen priest on Alias, but it's not like we had to watch a good guy wrestle with his faith. Dirty priests have already done the dirty work. It's part of their charm.

Despite the fact my brother is trying to gas me out of the room with his farts, I have to share this detail:

I spent 2 hours wrapping all of the presents (oh god, he just let another one. Send gas masks). During that time, my brother opened a box of 5lbs of bionicles he won on ebay. Not 5 sets. 5 POUNDS. He dumps them on the floor. Spends the next 2 hours sorting them and building 2 creatures. And then he realizes that maybe he really ought to get around to wrapping (oh help! fresh air, please!) the rest of his gifts.

I have photographic evidence. Which I'll probably post when I'm home because I don't feel like messing with his iphoto right now. It's hysterical.

Oh and NOW? He's assembling a chemistry kit for D made up of stuff he pilfered repurposed from the lab. It's really cool, basic chemistry and realio trulio professional equiptment. But I predict at least half an hour getting it together.

Given we were up until 3 with his car, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Still have shopping to do. But not as bad as I thought. I can buy my brother engine degreaser!
