You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

You do know he can draw you in compromising positions, right?!

At <1 year of NGA that might be a problem.

After >3 years of NGA that starts to look like a potential affidavit. "Look! Someone else can imagine Me + sex!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You do know he can draw you in compromising positions, right?!

What Calli said. If he draws me in a compromising position, I want a copy to hang on my wall. To remind myself what it looks like.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

...well, considering that in the Gothic Charm School fanfiction story I'm currently penning, Jilli has vampire!Gerard Way imprisoned in the attic in the West Tower, that might just happen yet.

I'm picturing it as "GIVE ME A PIGGY BACK RIDE! I COMMAND YOU!"

"Sod off, I'm painting."

Smart people can be stupid too

erm *ahem*

Hi everyone, I'm Helen. I'm a relatively new lurker (only started reading in... 2005?) and though I've spoken up once or twice in my time here, I still find it pretty intimidating to actually delurk (translation: I love this thread!).

I am one of the way-back-in-the-thread aforementioned sisters of 'Ouise and I live in the surprisingly Buffista rich Halifax (Nova Scotia). I actually attended a few Buffista get-togethers before I made my way here. My list is nowhere near as long as most of yours but I've met: 'Ouise (obviously), Sue, Elena B, Brian, megan e (I think that's her board name), Trudy Booth, Sheryl, RaRa (another obvious one, she's my other sister), and possibly a few more that I'm forgetting.

I'm single, an almost-nurse (about 6 months from now I'll graduate and become a real live RN!), and companion to Xerxes (a large and gregarious ginger tom-cat, best known for wandering into a local hotel and trying to follow a complete stranger into an elevator).

I am fairly indifferent to the serial comma (being Canadian I grew up serial comma free, then university writing taught me to use them and now I'm hideously inconsistent. I hope you can forgive me) but addicted to parentheses (which I'm sure you've already noticed!)

I'm a mildly-obsessive Joss fan with equally overwhelming love for pretty much everything Tim Minear has ever done. My first ever Buffy episode was 'Inca Mummy Girl' and it marked the beginning of over a decade of sharing great TV with my sisters (recent highlights include: Firefly, Wonderfalls, The Inside, Supernatural, Eureka, The Mentalist, Heroes, Bones, HIMYM, SYTYCD, and Boston Legal).

My first encounter with the site came when 'Ouise sent me a link to the BRQG to cheer me up, I poked around a bit and found the "My People!!" experience so many others have spoken of in this thread. It's funny: I love it here, it feels like home and I honestly feel like you're all my friends (sorry if that's creepy), but I can't seem to get past the shyness thing! (even though I'm not shy at all in person).

Anyway, thanks for being so awesome, Invisible Internet People!

Oh and:

Cilantro: is there a word stronger than no?

Olives: Yes please!

Muffaletta: Based on my love of olives, I am comfortable assuming a yes

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

Cilantro: is there a word stronger than no?

There is, but it is three words long and spoken by Emerson Cod: oh HELL no.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hi Helen(a)! Welcome and I hope you'll post more, now that you've delurked.

Hi Helena! Hi other lurkers who I haven't managed to say hi to yet!

"GIVE ME A MOTHERLOVING PIGGY BACK RIDE!" ::power eyeballs of vampire thrall::

BWEEEEEEE! (But Frankie is the one who was always demanding piggy back rides.)

I don't use the "A" word to describe Pete. But I suspect I'm permanently on The List anyway, for other reasons. Usually ones involving wanting to set things on fire.

Might as well change this thread name to "You're on the List" just to save time...

Pete CANNOT loom at me. Hah.

Oh, Fay, you so know that's not true.

Helena! Hello!
