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.

Because books.

I feel like once I knew (or was told) what the cheesebutt document was and where its name came from, but I've forgotten now.

I hope it's okay the name of it makes me snicker.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just skimmed by that, and I already forget!

It's so out of date! [link]

Also funny is reading posts from SEVEN YEARS AGO about how we'd been around for so long already.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Other things I am belatedly reading/watching: The Daily Show's coverage of snowpocalypse is hysterical.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Rafmun!

(Er, I just got there.)

Damn, re-reading the Rafmun thing after all this time makes me feel like he had a List, and my name was at the top of it.

Ouch.

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

Steph, I wasn't as present in that argument as I was in others, but I totally felt called out myself. It was hard not to. And actually getting into a debate with him (for loose definitions of the term debate) must only have exacerbated it.

But he totally had a List, and was being annoyingly Coy.

Okay, I started at the beginning of Bureau2, and that's not fun at all.

I just got to the part where he admitted it was about having a grudge against other posters.

Whatta tool.

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

Whatta tool.

See? He completely deserved the response he got!
