I've been saying that to my husband, lately. He laughed the first few times. Now he's giving me that look that most closely translates as: I-think-those-people-online may-not-be-so-good-for-you.

Huh, I've been getting that look quite a bit, lately. Also the are-you-SURE-you-don't-love-the-buffistas-more-than-me? look.
It's gotta be better than the I liked it better when I was the Buffista!! look.
These days I'm more likely to say "Christ on a crutch!" or "For the love of jebuslug!", the latter primarily in fannish locations.
I catch myself saying "Kahless on crutches" sometimes. I blame Macedon and Peg's Voyager fanfic.

Heh! That is a good one. I think my husband is a Buffista-spirit baby. I told him that tonight's BtVS was being postponed until 11:00pm because of the Red Sox game. Now, my husband used to be a season ticket holder - was for years.
He ranted and raved, "IT'S ONLY APRIL. THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT. CALL UP UPN38. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WE HAVEN'T HAD NEW!BUFFY IN HOW LONG?"
But I think I'll learn an object lesson from Mr. Aimee and keep myself as the only born Buffista.

Probably wise. I'm very happy to finally be getting the BF into Buffy, but that doesn't mean I want him playing here.
I will say, that it's nice to have something like this in common though, cause lord knows, MM and I don't have a lot in common. Plus, internet relationships have been known to put strain on other marriages.
I know we've said that telling someone you're going to MARCIE them is a very bad thing but will we be putting that anywhere official once MARCIE is up and running?
I'm assuming we're going to have a "how MARCIE works" section in the FAQ, or possibly the Site Etiquette, right? A line like "MARCIE is a tool for avoiding tension. Please don't subvert that by announcing when you've MARCIE'd someone -- it's just bad manners" would be a good thing to have.
I don't think that's been said explicitly so far - where would it go, do you think: the FAQ?
