Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Hi sumi! Glad the checkup was good and I love the tartan.

Good luck, lisah. I read mid-March and was relieved and am only just now realizing that that is actually pretty soon, so - proposal ~ma, I suppose

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Lisah, I hope those proposals come through.

Sumi, good to see you here!

That's such sad news about Michelle Trachtenberg, she was only 39.

Just got a text about that from the friend who first got me to watch Buffy. That is so very sad.

Dropping in to pass condolences to Shir, and thanks to Nilly for all you're doing.

And i guess sending out condolences through the ether to Michelle Trachtenberg's friends and family; that is way too young to go.

About half an hour ago I told someone who was leaving to have a good weekend. I just now realized that today is Wednesday. Maybe he didn't hear me.
