Summary: Buffy and Connor.
A/N: Guess I got a bee up my butt with that post about ideas and not being able to write short fics, or something. I've had this forever. It stands alone, but I have so many ideas for what happens afterwards that I was going to write a novella. But this is so stand aloneish that I guess if I do those ideas, they'll be more like sequels than subsequent chapters. I guess I just want to share, all the sudden. I don't know.

( Walk Like Men )

a2zmom, you are the sunshine in my sky, the apple in my pie, the single perfect tear in Angel's eye, the sweet in a sorrowful goodbye, the platinum of Spike's hairdye, the woman in my guy (yeah I don't know), the truth in every lie (that doesn't even sound positive), the life that gets me high (now that sounds a little too positive), the roastbeef on my rye (ok, now I'm hungry), the longing in every sigh, the alcohol in Colonel Tigh? Yeah I could go on forever with this.

THINGS THAT ANNOY ME ABOUT A2ZMOM.
1. Whenever I go to write meta it's always, a2zmom said this, a2z said that. I get tired of writing the lj user stuff over and over.
2. She can always say in 10 words what it takes me a 100 to say, and she always knows what I mean anyway.
3. She lives too far away from me.
4. She won't let me make a fairy Spike to put in her miniature greenhouse.
5. Even when I've completely convinced myself of something, she can always make me see her objection. And she's always right.

But other than that, a2zmom is caring, discerning, enlightening, helpful, enthusiastic, thinky, generous, hilarious, talented, and snarky. She's actually much much more but it took me a long time to find that last link so I quit. This woman, she emailed me once a week for half a year just to remind me to watch "Bones". I love her and am so glad I met her. I hope work shapes up, that you get some sleep, that you feel better, that you eat yummy cake, and have a happy birthday, a2zmom.

p.s. I'm going to send you something one day but I haven't sent it yet so uh, it's going to be late. Really late. And don't get excited, it's not that special, but you are.

pantyfan

:
a fan who wets his/her panties over the person or persons after which they fan. (Not a derogatory term.)

1. "omg omg omg i love you omg omg i want to have your babies omg," the pantyfan said.
2. noun: David Boreanaz has many pantyfans.
verb: Lots of people pantyfan Spike.

I personally believe this term is actually more useful than "fangirl" and "fanboy", because it's all gender inclusive, and because the word itself shows the craziness of the obsession. The origin of the term can be found in this podcast, if you listen to minutes 3.12 through 8.34. Just because she's my best friend in the whole world doesn't mean she doesn't get a good idea from time to time.

There are subdivisions of the word, as described in the podcast:
bloomer fan, cotton pantyfan, boxers fan, thong fan

Pantyfan, illustrated, totally stealable and without credit, because no one cares, as long as you teach a penguin to say pantyfan:
Pimp, Señora.

uh, oops! Deleted post. Sorry if anybody read what I posted here at first. Really sorry, because I was posting to my backup thing. Or not, apparently. I can't handle technology; it hurts me.

Happy Rosh Hashanah, start of Ramadan, and autumnal equinox to any who celebrates any.

Let's see, that's Shana Tova, Ramadan Karim, and, um, happy harvest! Like, a triple whammy.

Hi! I've been kinda MILJ lately--or is that MFLJ? Anyway, just been ducking my head in, squirreling away foxy tidbits, then quick like a bunny hopping away, and also trying to ferret out how many animals I can monkeywrench in a sentence without becoming a cheatah. 8? Anyway, thank you for replying to my questions and thank you for your vid recs; I'm going to get back to each of you. Hopefully having watched some! If we had an email conversation going I'm about to get back to you too. If you've posted anything of importance and I haven't commented, please direct my attention.

    

So, today was the commissioning of the USS Texas. A big submarine was there, the First Lady was there, and, courtesy of dlgood, ( so was I! And I have pictures! )

Quintessential Vid Recs

So, I had these dl'ing problems and these soundcard problems and all kinds of other computer problems, but now those problems are gone. Except for the fact that I'm technologically illiterate and will never know what I am doing when it comes to these things. The point of the sad story is that I've never really watched fanvids before, and now I can. So, I'm wondering: What are your quintessential vid recs? What's the one that you think everyone should see, either because everyone talks about it the most, or because you love it the best? What's the defining fanvid of your 'ship, your character, your moment of truth? What's your canon fanon, vid-style? If you can, link please, because I suck at the whole . . . finding things.
