"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Okay, Buffistas, random question of the night:

If you could have a drink (not necessarily alcoholic) with one person in your life who is gone from you now (either dead or estranged, or lost contact) who would it be?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Tell those demons to fuck off, msbelle. They are lying to you! You're a beauty.

Whoa Jessica, that recipe looks delicious. I'm trying it.

That's easy. The drink would be tea and the person would be my mom, and she'd have all her wits about her.

Coffee with my mom.

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

My vows today were for shit.

Well, I completed the use case documentation. But as well as eating lunch at my desk, I didn't leave until 6.

And get home to find the order I DELIBERATELY DID NOT ORDER UPS NEXT DAY AIR ON is here, with the $60 shipping charge. I cancelled that order, and put it through deliberately choosing the lowest shipping, and I am really pissed that somehow the order went through for it anyway. Fucking pissed.

Which is probably why I unfollowed the Teen Wolf fan on my dash. Between 6pm and 7om, 6 more "VOTE THIS POLL" encouragements. I'm very fond of the show, but I'm not interested in slashdotting any polls in just the same way I only vote once for Supernatural or whatever. Old fans, second childhood, I have no patience. I want the show back, but I'd agree to never talk about it again if it meant I could also avoid the fanart of 16 year olds having sex with anyone. In fact, I can't work out how to get the non-shippy (or my fringe ship) cool pictures and funny interview.

Hot drinks with Mom is taking an early lead.

At least you have it, ita. I'm annoyed I bought stuff from gap.com on Black Friday and STILL don't have my shipment. It's supposedly coming Monday. Grr.

My college roommate, but only if she was also magically going to be ...nice? willing to talk? etc.

Pete has informed me there's a stack of packages waiting for me when I get home. I know that one of them is the "Claudia's Story" manga (Anne Rice approved! It will be gloriously OTT!), there should be an antique wine glass rosary from France, and a pair of vintage witchy Fluevogs.

Cognac with Dad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The drink would be tea and the person would be my mom, and she'd have all her wits about her.

You put it that way, and I'd have to say my dad. Although he'd have a beer.

On a sillier tip, I'd love to know what became of my high school boyfriend. He's ungoogleable! At least, last I tried.
