Hello Maggie!
I am in love with your cats!
Also hello again Dani!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
The month is almost over so I guess I should pop in before it's too late. I'm not a lurker, just a longtime Buffista who goes through extended periods of near-, sometimes total-silence. The phenomenon is not new. Perhaps going to a college almost entirely centered around discussion (at the time we had one required paper per year; I took two tests in four years, both pass/fail & which we were required to take as many times as needed to pass. Passed both on first attempt.) was a mistake. But I met a lot of great people, & it led to my marriage and career, so as far as mistakes go it was a good one.
I started posting on Table Talk when the monthly book group was reading Absalom, Absalom! The guy leading the discussion thought I was putting too much emphasis on race in the novel. Ten years later I still don't know what he was talking about. Anyway, I migrated over to the Buffy thread. (I don't think there was a separate Angel discussion.)
During the second season of Angel I noted the resemblance of Lorne, known to us at the time (and the way I still think of him) as GGG, the Gay Green Guy, to Losers' Lounge singer Sean Altman. It turned out that a few other posters were Losers' Lounge fans & eventually we went to the Roxy Music LL. I think that was the first F2F. msbelle was there, along with Misha, & Martha C. There were a couple others, too. Jesse, I think. A couple weeks later we had the first episode-centered get-together at Fiona's.
My big news is that we adopted a baby this summer: Thelonious Sorel Boucher. (Cf. my bio in the David Smay-edited Lost In The Grooves. It's searchable so you can see it on Amazon, but you should buy the book.) And the punchline, spoiler-fonted for dramatic effect: the birthmother named him Angelus. Not a complete coincidence. My wife mentioned my love of Buffy & Angel & my Buffista friendships in our profile, and birthmom is also a fan.
A belated congrats to Nilly & her very, very lucky husband. I'm sure there are other belated congrats & condolences to send out but I should probably get back to work.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Joe! Long time no post! And congrats on the absolutely adorable kid!
