Sounds good to me, Suela.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Cindy, more than you can possibly know. I had a couple of tubes of blood drawn today, as a matter of fact. It was weird, because although I'm very squickish about having my blood taken (I can't watch), it usually doesn't hurt, Today, for whatever reason, it hurt like hell when she took it. My arm still hurts.
{{{DX}}} And then you had to be the hard ass, when you're really a softie.
I'm squickish about having blood drawn, too. I didn't used to be, but then I passed out once during a mono test when I was a teenager. They have a hard time getting my blood, so now I just tell them I faint, so I'd like to lie down. She must have bruised your vein.

I'm sorry, hon. I was hoping I'd catch the post-warning problems and save you the trouble, but I was vacuuming my sofa.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My first post in this thread was a profession of love. I will say it again, I love DX. Screaming it from the mountain tops. And it's got everything to do with what he is and not what he does.

Just got here, and haven't even read Buffy yet. What a great episode, though.
{{DX}} Thank you for doing the hard work tonight.

Thank you, DX. I appreciate you doing the onerous work.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow, go away for a few hours and lookee what happens.
Thanks DX, for playing the part of the meanie, and thanks Kat, for getting the ball rolling.
I for one think that the two instances we've seen of troll-like behavior pretty much confirm for me the "walks like a duck" theory. I don't see the need to plex and break our own hearts over these matters.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
My sanity and good humor thank you, DX.

BTW, is the search feature still disabled? I need to go see if I put a piece of fic in Bitchy Fic without having the sense to save a copy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, search is still disabled, and will be for the nonce.
I skimmed through WX and enforced our suspension there also, as much as I can.
