That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism

The suggested alternate title for "Bushwhacked Groom" made me almost choke on my lunch, I was laughing so hard.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bwah! Teppy, I was just about to post the same identical thing! Also, practically every single line of the mockery of the Ghost Butt In The Sky is eminently taggable.

Not just one of them -- aren't you the one who coined the phrase "Ghost Butt in the Sky"?

Oh, I think several people arrived at that one independently. I was one of the ones who nominated it, though.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I liked the alternate title for "The Pirate's Jewel" myself.

Anyway, I have just embarrassed myself, as I am here after work reading the Worst Cover comments, and I am laughing like crazy. I mean out loud, tears streaming down my face, almost sobbing, and a student just walked in! She must think I'm nuts!

If I only had a brain...

Oh, the happy. "On Becoming A Woman", scanned for your enjoyment.

Curiosity, when under control, is an asset. When not properly controlled it can lead to unwholesome experimentation and inquiry.

Betsy, the part I like is right off the bat:

In your twenties and thirties you will experience the realities of becoming bride, housewife, and mother. Each of these experiences will carry its full quota of satisfaction and enjoyment. But the routine duties that accompany homemaking will fill your time so that you will hardly have the opportunity to realize that your cherished day-dreams have come true.

I gotta say, The Bell Jar makes even more sense now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, a girl thinks feminine thoughts, is domestic in her inclinations, and is fundamentally gentle in her relation to others.

I'm guessing a fondness for Mulder/Krycek curtain fic doesn't really fulfill these criteria.
