Thanks, le nub. Somehow the news always manages to find the Union for Concerned Scientists but not MIT.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh my god, y'all. I was having a meltdown today anyway and now I can't look at the news from Japan without sobbing. I'd say I need a valium but I've already taken one. I'm glad all our Buffistas and their people are safe.

SHUT UP PEOPLE IN THE STREET. YOUR HAPPY IS ANNOYING.

The status is NOT quo.
And because it deserves its own post, hugs, Zen. Hang in there.

I am right there with you. I was crying so hard and for so long earlier that I actually left a puddle on the bathroom floor. I wouldn't have believed it, except Tim called me in to see it.

Wow, so much of the gang is still here! I was rescuing a box of books from the garage when I found Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby? (And I still have a Buffistas.org Cafe Press mug.) Allow me to say thank you to you all for your friendship in what was a very fragile and strange time in my life. Buffy fandom and you people changed my life and I think also saved it in many key ways. I am grateful to your wonderful, funny, wise and so so shiny selves. Love, ~jengod

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
People, there is no shame in backing away from the things going on the world. I don't want you leaving puddles on the floor.

Oh jengod, it's nice to see you.
I am vaguely reassured that other people are also in a fragile states, given my own broken/fragile/no-good headspace. I'm glad to know it's not just me.

I'm glad to know it's not just me.
I have never been so broken, and am staring down what could potentially be a year of hell starting next week. No matter what shakes down, it's going to be a BIG strain on my relationship getting through it.
