Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys, I need a haircut SO BAD. And won't be able to get one until next week, at least. My hair is so long, I've taken to putting it in a ponytail, which I haven't been able to do in years.
At least tonight I'll sleep in my own house. My mother's been out of town, so I was staying with my father, which is fine, except I feel bad for my cat! I've run home before and after work for just long enough to give him a pill. I would be cranky if I were him....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I feel that one should not use the word "coon" to refer to raccoon (or to refer to anything accept maybe a coonskin cap). Every time I see "Lame Pun Coon", I am shocked. (http://www.quickmeme.com/Lame-Pun-Coon/)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There came a point where I decided it didn't really matter that "a coon's age" was about raccoons. There were other expressions I could use. I didn't feel I was losing any richness of expression.
There are some things I'll hang onto (denigration, for instance), but that one's just fine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I always assumed it wasn't about raccoons. Never bothered to look that up though.

If you're looking for a stylist, Jon B.'s FAQ!wife has a friend who is a stylist and does her hair, and she always looks good.

Lisah, you just reminded me of Herc saying there needed to be affirmative action for white guys in the drug game.
