No one remembers anymore that Disney didn't actually create these stories.
As much as I love Disney movies (while acknowledging the Disney versions are hugely flawed and problematic), I get frustrated with people who don't know about the roots of the stories. It's like the people who think faeries/fairies are all sweetness and light and magic helpful pixie dust. Ahahaha, no. Go read some folklore.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Also, in one of the original Sleeping Beauties, she is woken by the suckling at her breast of the child Prince Rapey got on her while she was in a magical freaking COMA.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
That's why I love urban fantasy. So many years of just having Emma Bull, and then my "No, fairies could be motherfuckers!" were all brought to fiction!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
WHAFUCK??!!
$5K, or I get your daughter tossed out of the country.
I can't really go into more detail without getting myself sick, but Allyson was a very good friend, screening my voicemails so I didn't have to listen to her psychotic screeds. She was a very ill woman, who probably ten years later has no idea she did anything wrong.
Two of her sisters reached out to me to apologise for her behaviour, but that doesn't excuse *her*.
In the simplest of terms, she hated me because I could do things she couldn't, and it drove her spittingly abusively insane. I hate armchair diagnosis by people who don't really know shit, but I throw Borderline Personality Disorder at her with no hesitation. Or Narcissistic. Or both. No one should hate me that much unless I killed their children (note: she was very preoccupied with how much her son liked me too).
Shit. I gave her too much of my time. Over now.

Which Buffistas have this nail polish?

Ok buffistas--if I'm going to be alone on vacation I'd like to take all that free time and watch some tv I haven't seen. Suggestions? Especially if I can get it cheap/borrow it?
My thoughts so far are West Wings last couple seasons (I'd stopped watching and roomie has 1-5). Or maybe Friday Night Lights. Other suggestions? (besides The Wire)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
FNL, yes! Um, Sherlock ? Princess Tutu ? Parks and Rec ? Community ? I'm not sure what you haven't watched.

Um, none of those? I watch SYTYCD, good wife, glee (only for Santana now), Greys and Private practice (keep getting sucked back in). Oh, and HIMYM.
