Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think the front page of Good Stuff is pretty good right now -- a bunch of different things. [link]
Also, Liese had elk in her yard!
Also also, you are a terrific friend and a great person.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
(Since the song was written, genetic studies have indicated that the black death was indeed the bubonic plague, which is a bit of a shame given the effort put into that song.)
billytea, this is Seanan's response:
I question the veracity of their science.
Given that the study was funded by people who want to RUN A TRAIN through SEVERAL PLAGUE PITS, it seems a little convenient.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scola hugs are world class contention.

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time, Tom. Would a look at some really cute cakes help cheer you up? (I love the giant Twinkie cake.) [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I could use some cheering up right now.
I heard a rumor that Joss Whedon was going to do a big budget Avengers movie.
Also, Scatman Crothers does a cool version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Tom, many hugs to you. And many hugs to ita as well. Glad you got to see your mom, glad she has so many to rally around her.
Liese, that sounds amazing and, as you said, profound. One of those blessed moments.
I am having a more quotidien moment right now. Sitting at my computer, eating cottage cheese for breakfast and planning out how to take care of some housework, go to the grocery, head into work for a couple hours, and do a bit of laundry. Hrrmm. I think laundry gets cut from the list.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tom--you DID have a really shitty childhood, but the good thing is that you already did the hardest part--surviving it. You are loved, live in a gorgeous place, and, most importantly, are a good person now. The work of integrating and understanding the badness is really hard and dark, I know, but the fact that you are doing it shows that you are already on the other side, even if you don't feel like it sometimes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Lots of hugs, Tom.

This. You are ALWAYS one of the people I want to see when I visit NY.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Scrappy FTW, as is frequently the case. More happy things - my roommate's kittens' favorite cat toy? Frankie's constantly wagging tail.
