OK Barb, hope you don't mind if I get extremely silly for a moment. Visualize this, please: the self doubt bunnies are made of raw bacon and covered with glitter. They are terrified, running for their lives from your Lab and a stuffed devil bunny. And as they vanish over the horizon, you chant "don't hear you, don't see you. You are nothing to me. And how in the world can a nothing scare me?" This sort of visualization sometimes works for me. (I stole the chant from a children's book.)
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I bought these socks. I *had* to. They were made for me. (I also bought these, because they just seemed awesome.)
Sock Dreams is a dangerous place, mang. I could spend $500 there, easily.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I love Sock Dreams. A lot.
Kittenish keeps reaching her paw at me from where she's curled half on / half off my lap. I don't know her intentions but I keep high fiving her. And telling her she's awesome.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The SP movie is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which is also the title of the second book.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Wishing you less self-doubt, Barb. I love Typo Boy's approach to it.
I use theater for where you go to see a movie and theatre for live shows as is right and proper.
This is 100% correct.
Unless you're in the UK, where theatre is for a live show, and we talk of going to the cinema for movies.

I have to be escorted by a Designated Adult if I go into the Sock Dreams store. Whooo, so many tights and stockings and socks!
(Which reminds me, I need to check my stash of b&w and pink & white stripes.)

I need to borrow Pete for this. He's mean, but he does only let me spend what I plan ahead.
Mmm, sockses with toeses.

Clearly the cinema is where a film is viewed, but movies happen in a theater.

Hello. I've been a bad, bad skipper and skimmer, but there's a revolution at my back door. If you haven't read it yet, someone I know sent me a report from day 2 of the riots: [link]
{{{Barb}}} and additional brackets to whoever in need for them. I also think that the doubt bunnies should be a name of a band.
I think Buffy's quest is "detroy all evil".
While trying to stay fashionable. Someone at my old Buffy board once said that if the monks would have made a pair of Gucci boots and not a sister, Buffy's would do a hell lot more to try and keep that energy in good shape.
And you all are wrong. Where you go to see the movies is kolnoa. Where you go to see live shows is te'atron. See? All better now.
