Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've just been catching up on JR's blog, and this made me laugh and laugh (addressing Elliot's relative togetherness compared to some of the team):

But I have no problem with a character who's got it pretty together compared to the others. I'm not Whedon, for chrissake.

Trust my rage

Frank, I'm now wondering what it says about me (us) that I love Whedon characters so.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not like John's not writing Nate as a bastard. He's hardly sunshine, unicorns, and puppies.

Also, he's a Whedon fan.

I noticed last night's White Collar had an insurance company called Sterling Bosch. I couldn't help but wonder if that was a Leverage ref.

Oh, I figured as much. That's part of why I laughed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was thinking the same thing. It amuses me, intentional reference or not.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Nate is totally sunshine, unicorns, and puppies! Sunshine burns. Puppies bite. Unicorns have pointy horns. Like Nate, they're adorable but you don't want to fuck with them.

How is Nate even remotely adorable?

...because he looks so much like Tim Hutton?

For values of "adorable" that don't include "cute"?

I don't know. Maybe I'm just screwed-up enough that these guys seem normal to me!

You married Eliot. IJS.

Well, yeah. Exactly.
