I'm sorry, Dana. I can't imagine why they'd think it was a good idea to tell a department that small that one would be let go. Did they expect the four to arm wrestle for it or something?
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, no, Dana.
I would still go, layoffs be damned, but that's my family.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm sorry, Dana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would go too, and have choice words for anyone who suggested I shouldn't go, but it's his family, so.

Dana, I am so sorry.
OMG, my Batman leather jacket arrived.
I cannot WAIT to see pictures of you in it. Eeee!
Goals? I actually do have them, am working toward them, and simultaneously feel like OMG THIS IS HAAAARD and OMG I AM A SLACKER AND NOT PUTTING ENOUGH EFFORT INTO THIS, TRY HARDER.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, exactly. This is so totally up to him and them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister went to Cambridge. Twice. I feel this is a problem in our relationship. I never visited her there. I've never been to Cambridge, period. I have no independent idea what that part of her life was like. I mean, she knows a lot of things I don't know. Like the stuff she was studying when she was there. But I feel jealous that I don't know the life parts.
Part of me thinks that if I'd chosen Oxford over McGill, then I'd totally get it. But then...I wouldn't understand her McGill life. Like, I got to live that part and purloin her friends.
So there's no fixing that.
I HADN'T REALISED I WAS JEALOUS SHE WENT OFF TO SCHOOL WITHOUT ME.
This a radically emotionally stunted reaction to be actually having. And, honestly, if you watch Supernatural, don't say it. I get it. But she just sent me an email about an Oxbridge-generated response she's having to something and I have no fucking clue what she's talking about. This is not par for our course.
