I go away for the day and come back to more than forty posts of style geekery. I love you guys. We used MLA in high school, but when I was attending college we used APA and I found the transition difficult.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I can work with whatever style I'm given, although I've spent most of my time with AP style, as altered by the whims of mysterious higher-ups. Usually that meant capitalizing things they they thought were Important.
On an entirely different subject, I just got a call about the PET scan I had Tuesday. The cancer is responding to the chemo! It's shrinking! Go, chemo, go!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hooray, chemo! Cancer, GTFO and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
That is seriously so fucking great, Ginger. I just clapped my hands loudly enough to wake the dog, who now looks really disgruntled. I'll have to explain to him I got good news about another dog-owning human; that'll probably mollify him.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The cancer is responding to the chemo! It's shrinking! Go, chemo, go!

You mean like Pooh Case? I got dinged a few times for Pooh casing things when I went back to school this summer. Hard habit to break.
The cancer is responding to the chemo! It's shrinking! Go, chemo, go!
AWWW, YEEEAAAHH! Woot woot! Go chemo, go! Or more importantly - GO (AWAY) CANCER, GO!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Great news, Ginger! Yay!
