Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's way too soon for MTV presenters to be dying. He's older than I'd have thought, but way young.
What is up with IE6 and the mouse highlighting text? I try and highlight a word and a half in the text box and it decides I want two words. When did I relinquish control? Oh, yeah. This whole laptop, to which I don't have admin access.

My office life just gets stranger and stranger. There's a friendly guy who works down the hall from my cubical bay; he's an amateur photographer, and asked if I'd be willing to let him take pictures of my outfits every day so he can get some practice shooting people instead of landscapes. Sure, I said, because hey, more Shallow Fashion Details photos! I like that idea!
So we met up, took today's photos, and walking back into the cubicle bay I explained a little bit about Goth to him (he's Russian and doesn't have a good frame of reference, apparently). After he waved goodbye and wandered off, one of my fellow cubicle-bay dwellers piped up with "I'm glad I overheard that, because I was working up to asking if you dressed that way because you lost a bet."
Fellow cubicle-bay dweller than asked if he could take a camera-phone photo of me to show to his wife. Er, okay? Even though you thought I dressed this way because I lost a bet?

Lost a bet? That's a pretty pricey and involved bet, not to mention A HUGELY RUDE THING TO SAY if he was even slightly serious.

Yeah, I'm pretty baffled. I'm also good at not showing what's going on in my head, so I just laughed a merry little laugh and said something like "Oh no, I like dressing like this. This is how I always look!" While inside the privacy of my brain going "WTF, man?" and rolling my eyes.

Correct response: "Ha, that's so funny because I was going to ask you the same thing!"
I'd assume Angel's claddagh ring was silver. Although he is tight with a buck. And masochistic, for that matter.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Now now. That sort of behavior is not GCS-approved.

It's not, but the temptation to ask him why he dresses like Les Nesman from WKRP is, at times, nigh-overwhelming.
