Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thank goodness you didn't get a job at a blowtorch company.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. How did you learn this?

She used her real name. I need to ping some of the longtime XF people I know and make sure she doesn't have a reputation of some kind.

We also can sign up to get shot with a taser, but it's not mandatory, so that's a relief.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

A DISCOUNT. ON TASERS. FOR MEEEEE.

This seems bad.

Dang, I miss ita.

Wow so much to do, msbelle!!

Dana, I too am curious how you figured that out. And wherever it wS a fan you knew and liked or disliked!!

Atropa, I'm scared of you with a taser. I do feel like anyone who is going to use one (aka cops) should have to get tased.

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

We also can sign up to get shot with a taser, but it's not mandatory, so that's a relief.

Well sure, because if you're getting shot with a taser, it'd be a comfort to be able to think to yourself, "I chose this".

Nobody I knew, and probably a few years before I was deep into fandom. We do have degrees from the same small university program, though.

Of course the Vampire Queen should be able to shoot lightning from her fingertips!

Did you say where you're working, or is that a dark mystery known only to your worshipful minions?
