Well, you could say that Jude is a CHAMPION, but I don't know of what.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.
'Bring On The Night'
We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Announcement: I am twelve chapters into Wuthering Heights.
Just remember, P-Cow, it's a very punk rock novel. Sort of like Sid and Nancy.
I'm willing to concede that ita, msbelle and Teppy are all psychotic.

Art Crawl!!!
You know, I believe that the term that ita was looking for is "Bat-shit Crazy".
Surely, Bats put the Bat in that phrase.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Okay. Can I stick with "fucking nuts"?
Sure. Your free time is your own business.

Hey, man. I used the air quotes. You can't mock me if I'm properly punctuated.
Well, you could say that Jude is a CHAMPION, but I don't know of what.
Ow. Brain hurts. Does that mean Arabella=Buffy and Sue=Cordy?

Hi, I don't think we've met. MockyMock McMockerson of the MockReady clan, formerly of DimMock Castle on the shores of Mock Ness. At your service.

If punctuation doesn't protect you among the Buffistas, then I don't think I have any faith left in the world.

If I only had a brain...
The practice always helps, but they're always going to be better than some other poor slob who practices every single night and will never be as good.
This was an enormous Aha! for me. I met somebody who was genuinely gifted in mathematics. He saw it. He understood it. It was play for him -- he took the Putnam for fun, on a dare from a friend, and did very well.
And I realized that I was good, but I wasn't magical.
I had a wonderful conversation with a mathematics professor Senior year. He wanted me to consider going to graduate school in mathematics. I said "But I'm not brilliant." He replied, "Neither am I. But for every Gauss, the field needs a hundred other people to pursue the implications of what he discovered." I've always been amazed by the humility and wisdom of that response.
But I didn't go to graduate school in mathematics.

It may protect you from charges of "you're doing it wrong". Mockery is a whole 'nother spectator sport. Especially when you're talking about a love that dare not speak its name, for fear of starting up the same old pronunciation debate.
