"I am, you know."
"What?"
"Yours."


Is that Willow (lines 1 & 3) and Oz??? I saw the quote in someone's post signature - just like that, no attribution or anything - and I can hear it being spoken, and I think I've narrowed it down to being from Buffy. (Based partly on the "wtf have I seen often enough for a random written quote to be associated with its full media self?" principle.) Can anyone confirm, possibly identify what episode? It's driving me batty now LOL! Ta in advance.

ETA: Whoops, no, that's Tara, Willow, Tara. I remember the camera shot now, Tara doing something as she says the first line, then looking round, over her shoulder to where Willow is when she says, "Yours," with a close-up of her face. Awww. ♥

I opted to try to clear the remnants out of my system and stayed home today, since I still had a bad sinus headache when I woke up. And I'd taken a nice, long bubble bath last night instead of showering, without really thinking about it past the whole "My day sucked, I wanna relax" part, and then when I was talking to my mom today, after about ten minutes she asked if I was wearing the same clothes I'd worn to work yesterday. Erm, no. There were enough paint fumes clinging to my hair to trigger off her allergies! Fuck, no wonder I still felt like crap. Dumb. So I showered right away and then threw my sheets into the washing machine. I'd just changed the damn things, too. Argh. I spent much of the afternoon sleeping on my couch. This kind of severe reaction just takes the wind right out of me, and I'm not exactly the most energetic person to begin with.

Hmm, what else? Ha I am, finally, reading some BtVS fic. I don't know if she's posting it anywhere other than on 50kinkyways but she's linking her prompt table into a series/ongoing story, with Spike and Xander. Yeah. *grins* It's all in Spike's POV and it's a nice job there, even though I haven't read much fic, b/c I *did* (do?) watch the show and I can hear him saying the dialogue. I love it when that happens! Which is undoubtedly how I ended up reading smut about a pairing I'm not particularly invested in, lol. It's called Demagnetized and it's by creyr, for anyone who might want to go looking. :)

There was more but it's flown from my brain. Such is life. *laughs*

I remember giggling at Anne when she had the Offspring stuck in her head and went around singing, "I'm not the one who acted like a ho."  Funny how tables turn, because the lyric that's been running around my head for the last few days??  "Fucked without a kiss again."  LOL.  However, I have not been caught singing yet and I don't plan to be, either.  It does amuse me in the most immature way, though, to listen to music on my discman at work that I would not put on if we shared a CD player "publically" b/c it wouldn't be appropriate for mass consumption at the workplace, lol.  But yeah, except for brief Tabitha's Secret breaks - at home, b/c my discman refuses to play a lot of my burned CDs properly for whatever reason, and that's one it won't play unskipped - I've been listening to Green Day constantly.  It definitely sends my mind to interesting places. :D  The obsession hasn't waned at all, in case anyone was wondering, lol.  In fact it would probably be a lot worse if I could find a message board that had reasonable discussions.  Instead, the couple I frequent that aren't hotbeds of open warfare are basically populated with teenage girls.  Which is fine, so far as pictures and surface discussions go, but not really what I'm looking for.  I'm not sure what I'm looking for exists, per se, because I suspect that anything really good is also older, for longtime fans, and I would most likely not be welcome.  Like, for example, the LJ community wherein you have to pass a quiz to join.  *rolls eyes*  Although it's possible that I could pass it, now, lol.

I did leave TS on repeat all Saturday morning while I read, though; for some reason, it just makes slightly better background music. ;-)  And then after some sleep, I threw myself into discussions about HP and the HBP and it's been just wonderful.  It has been a really, really long time since I had a good discussion about a fantasy novel.  My own reading habits have shifted more to romance in the last few years, since that's where I plan to write so it's wise to be aware of the market, but reading HBP just reminded me how much I love this genre when it's done well.  I miss it.  I haven't even kept up with my favourite authors, and ten years ago that would have been absolutely unthinkable.

And that reminds me of the other thing I was going to mention about Friday!  I had a conversation with Shane, one of our temps/newbies, and I think it's the first real convo we've ever had, lol.  But it was near the end of the day and I said something about Harry Potter, and it went from there, and he said something about not liking much fanfiction, especially when people tried to do crossovers of shows like Roswell and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.  I think it took a minute for me to comprehend that someone who had no idea I'd ever been into Roswell had mentioned it to me point-blank, lol.  Then I agreed that Sabrina was a terrible match but there were others that made more sense, and mentioned Rick's Highlander crossover as a stellar example because it provided an excellent way for Alex to not be dead, and mentioned that I'd written fanfiction myself, athough I don't think I said for what.  And we talked for a few more minutes about online fandom.  He's not into fic, like he said; he partly runs an RPG board that's specifically designed to help newbies learn wtf they're doing, and he's mostly into Buffyverse RPGs - he has one where he plays Glory and he loves being the villain.  I suppose certain things should have flagged more when I mentioned that the whole Ben aspect thing would make that extra interesting, and he agreed and cited as an example the times when Ben found himself in a dress, but I digress.  LOL.  It was just really, really weird to run into someone who's at least related to my fandoms, so very randomly.  I mean Jeff loved Buffy and Angel, and we've talked about both shows before and she knows I write Rosfic, but it didn't seem odd coming from her, and it was also strictly show-based: nothing about online fandoms.  Which is an entirely different kettle of fish, isn't it?  RPGs take a level of obsession similar to fanfiction, that's elevated from that of the mere viewer.  Or reader, given that it's an HP weekend and there are already post-HBP fanfics up.  Even I am not that insane, LOL.
