Happy Birthday, Sean!
Laura, I think it does have brownish tile on the floor. There's beige in places and white in places on the walls. Since paint will be the easiest quick fix I should think about brown.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Sean! Happy Birthday, dude!
So, last night was the Honors Program Reception for the seniors. I got my Honors Medal! Joyce, the program coordinator, writes these beautiful profiles about each graduate. I totally cracked up because she included the Buffistas. We are fans and scholars! So, go watch: [link]

vw bug, congrats on the Honors Medal! The Buffista mention was wicked cool.
I'm at that point in my paper where I think I'm saying something really original. I never am, but it's always an exciting point anyway. Today's endeavour: using slightly complex sociological terms when I'm not sure I completely understand them. Or understand them at all, in the case of 'relations of production'. Also, name-checking British social policies that annoy me and getting to rant about them for credit. Nice.

Happy birthday, Sean!
And vw, congrats! That is impressive. I love what you wear on the vid and your smile after mentioning b.org, followed by the-so-familiar-sound-of-geeky-laugh-when-BtVS-is-mentioned.
After spending most of the past 7 years of my life around sci-fi and mostly Buffy watchers, I'm the one who thinks it's weird if people don't know this show, or didn't feel anything while watching it. There's the usual moment when they're embarrassed on my behalf for, I don't know, declaring my fandom love with strict face and nothing but seriousness, and then they realize that I'm the one who is embarrassed on their behalf, for not having this awesome experience of fandom in their lives. I still never figured out the look on their faces after the second moment.
Anyway, congrats again!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
vw, what a great profile of you! Plus you look great - especially your hair.
Seska, have fun with the rant.
Sean, happy birthday! Hope it is a good one.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Congrats, vw! Thanks for linking the video, that was cool.
I'm not getting more done today, but at least I'm in a better mood. Plus, I'm dressed cute.

Umm, I'm only an undergrad here, but I do study sociology. So I'm not saying I can understand complex sociological terms yet, but if you want to send me an email and see if I can figure out your theme, you're welcome to do so. Profile addy is good.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Shir, thanks! It's a 6000-word essay, and I don't think it's particularly interesting, so I wouldn't want to bother you with it unless you were really keen on the topic (disability and social policy - which doesn't even interest me, but that's because social policy makes my eyes glaze over. You should have seen me in class this semester. The ceiling tiles in my classroom and I got to know each other well). But thanks for the offer!

Yeah, we really do know that one well, don't we? I like your analysis of what the embarassment is about. It's true - I get so baffled by people who don't know fandom. What a thing to miss out on.
