Depends on where on the West Coast you are, meara. I've heard of the famous "Seattle Freeze". However, I can assure you that in the West Side of LA, they have no trouble being aggro.
Jayne: We was just about to spring into action, Captain. Complicated escape and rescue op. Wash: I was going to watch. It was very exciting.

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 wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I was trying to be British in my response, as you all tend to be nicer than we are here :)
Hah. It's true. I wish I hadn't been socialised to be so passive-aggressive - I don't like it in myself. But it's the way we're all trained to be. Oh but I had a fun year in New York. I did enjoy watching all the angry people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My elevator told me the British Monarchy has a facebook page
Misha told me this. Which means I'm totally startled to see it's true.

A real one, rather than a spoof (like the truly inspired @Queen_UK twitter account)?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yep. Real & stuff.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can "like" the Queen, but you can't "friend" her.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
NPR was saying it was real this morning! However, you cannot poke the Queen. In case you were wondering.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yeah, it's a fan page so no poking or friending or sending hearts.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Heh - try working in the NYC office of a British company. My professional emails to local co-workers vs emails to the UK office may as well be in different languages. (I mean, even putting aside sentences like "Was this programme shot in colour?")
