I'm guessing that the upshot of this chart is that there are even fewer decent female characters than I'd thought, and Zoe isn't one of them.
Zoe's on there! Lady of War.
Bunnies frighten me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Zoe's on there! Lady of War.
Yeah, she's on there, but not as a decent female character. Most of the women on there are there as dead ends. Including Ripley. Cue: @@.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Zoe's on there! Lady of War.
Sorry, Hec, but if you can describe a character with a phrase, she's not a strong female character! Apparently.

Seriously, I'd be plenty pleased to have that as my epitaph, but I am no doubt a bad feminist.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oy vey. I just had to potentially start something on Facebook. Really sad story -- I guess someone one of my contacts knows was killed by a hit and run driver. But he says she was killed by some "foreigner," someone else responds he was probably illegal... But I saw a TV story where they actually talked to the guy and he sounds 100% local. So I had to mention it. Because come ON.
I am glad you mentioned it.

I told Tim that next year he should wear his business suit, enter the costume contest, and when it's his turn to walk past the judges, rip open his shirt to reveal the Superman shirt.
That would be awesome!!
Amych, ma for you. I'm rapidly getting to the same point with my work. But I keep going for the "head under covers and fingers in ears" plan.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Aw, Steampunk Boba Fett. He comes to DragonCon too.
Just yesterday, I was feeling smug about how long it had been since I hurt myself. (While talking to shrift about how she cut herself while cleaning a knife.)
I just slammed my ankle into the edge of the open dishwasher door. Ow.

amych, if you want to chat with someone who Knows Many of the People but Isn't Actually There (i.e., me) I would be happy to help. Am on gmail chat under actual.name most of the day.

Woah (srsly). Cute guy just asked me where the dumpster was. Shame he's not bright enough to find it on his own, because it's not exactly hidden.
Well, I never turn down conveniently located eye candy.
