Hey, Buffistas. How YOU doin'? I'm doing some reworking of jossisahottie.com (yes, it's still a thing, no, I have not outgrown this obsession) and was poking through the archives. I have to tell you, the fall of 2002 through the spring of 2005 was a pretty rough period for me and you guys made it pleasant in spite of that. So thanks, pals!
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Fuck it, just flat out defriend him. Don't be polite, don't be mincing. He was an ass. Be done. He doesn't deserve shit. You've no obligation to him.
Just echoing what others have said, you don't owe this condescending asshole any more of your time. He should be grateful for a clean defriending rather than a "Girl 101" lesson about not finding inappropriate advances from married men "interesting" on his facebook wall where his wife could read it.

So thanks, pals!
Awww, I'm glad things are better now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh ick, Stephanie. Good for you for calling him on his shitty behavior. And I agree with everyone here, he's an ass.

Hey Kiba! Welcome back. Come by more often!
I went to a rum bar with a couple friends, and really wish I had a higher tolerance. I only had one drink, but so many looked awesome! Then some dancing, but the DJ was awful, so my friend and I mostly stood around and checked people out and tried to figure out if they were single or not. And we went home before 10pm. Yeah, party people what.

I can report incremental progress with Mom's cat. While he still fled under the bed when I visited, this time he didn't shy away when I reached under to pet him. In fact, he purred, licked my thumb, and put one of his paws in the palm of my hand.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I really want to sit down and talk TV with my niece, now. We seem to have very similar taste and she has some interesting opinions and insights.
That's my Niecelet! She's the only other fannish adjacent person in the family. And we talked movies today.
Did any of you guys become infatuated with certain music after the age of 30 (a different music than what you already loved by age 25)? I would love to hear your experiences.
My. Chemical. Romance.
Then they brought friends.
There's a local church that is actively trying to recruit gamers and geeks, and has a booth with a bunch of swag emblazoned with JESUS (hearts) GAMERS!, and images of Jesus holding an Xbox controller. I am a bad person for finding this hilarious, right?
Not if you send me pictures, you aren't.
My hair drove me nuts today so I sucked up some courage and walked into a salon and went with the first available stylist. I like the color and the cut seems good. Will know more when I style it myself. The greys are gone for now and I have bangs again. Woot!
I found my adored stylist in PDX this way. She had a cancelation and I got very lucky.
My use of the f word was 100% intentional. And he totally flipped out about how he doesn't like that word and , to help me out, he would "give me a lesson on Guy101" which included not being so rude to someone who finds me interesting and wants to spend time with me. Which, how condescending! And totally proves that my response to him was not based on my imagination.
Meet him for coffee and definitively kick him in the 'nads. Ass.
So thanks, pals!
We're a good group for that. Certainly have been for me.

Hi Kiba!
Speaking of music, where do people who are still discovering new music find it? I use to hear new things on the radio, but that doesn't seem to be a thing now. I'll look up stuff mentioned in fic or follow links from Tumblr, and now and again my niece will suggest something that (I can only assume) won't shock her aunt with undue sexuality or profanity. (I type with my Pogues-laden "New uses for safety pins" playlist going in the background.)

DavidS, so much better.
I went to a rum bar with a couple friends, and really wish I had a higher tolerance. I only had one drink, but so many looked awesome!
I find it awesome that there are whole bars devoted to rum. (I'm an infrequent drinker so my education in alcoholic matters is minimal. Perhaps everyone but me already knew about rum bars? In any case, it's delightful, and I like to imagine Capt. Jack Sparrow spending a lot of time at one.)
We're a good group for that. Certainly have been for me.
Truer words.
Speaking of music, where do people who are still discovering new music find it?
I've found Pandora & Spotify to be pretty good for music discovery.
