For Marjorie: In Which I Wax Ineloquent upon My Love for the Slayer

I have been away. A lot has happened since last we met. This entry is in honor of my friend Marjorie. Hey, my old friend:

So, one of the downsides of staying out of touch for a long period of time is that it’s awfully hard to keep up with all the water that has flowed underneath the bridge. I need updates, you need updates, the American people need updates.

Today, all I got is Buffy. When I start watching this much Buffy, it generally means that I am wanting a hero. Or so I think.

I also think it means I need someone to relate to. Some type of therapy. Some type of hope the apocalypse is not going to come. But then really I think too much and I should consider drinking less coffee.

Nevertheless, this is where I am (emotionally speaking). Now. I hope to be back here (physically speaking, i.e., at the blog wheel) some more. And then some more. And then some more. It seems lately like I might have something to say again.

One thing I know for sure I have to say is, “R.I.P. LIKE CRAZY TIM RUSSERT.”

Thanks to A. Friedberg for giving me the Buffy box set, without which my life would be sucky. Now, to leave you with some Buffy:

Spike: How you feeling, mate?
Giles (as a Fyoral demon): Like snapping necks until everyone’s dead.
* * *
Spike: Hey, you picked up a tail.
Giles (still a Fyoral demon): Yes, just a little one. It hurts when I sit.
* * *
Buffy: Giles! Giles! Don’t die!
Giles (Giles as a recently stabbed-in-the-chest-by-Buffy-Fyoral-demon): Actually, I feel quite well. Except for the rage.*

S-Dogg: Me, too, Giles. Me, too.

*“A New Man” - Season 4, Episode 12

Thanks for the acknowledgement :) I had given up hope that Ma Vie en Louisiane would ever get a new post. When you wrote this post I was in Lyon, France trying very hard to remember French verb conjugation and vocabulary. I was pathetic in most cases. ha! Glad to see that S-Dogg is back in the swing of things. Next on my list-- get you to answer the phone when I call...

best to keep freinds around after you start pushing family away, because without those freinds you have nothing

And, she has a lot of friends and family that are there for her. Never has pushed the real family away. True family is honest about there relationships and value honesty/integrity.
