There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Hey, there, little miss sassymouth, I was nine too! I was just nine and sick a lot and spending my sick days curled up in front of the TV listening to the dreamy fake Scottish guy on my mom's favorite soap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Trixie Belden was the source of one of my read-but-never-spoken mispronounced words: jalopy. For years I thought it was JALL-uh-pee.
