Dear Parents of the World,

1) Don't tell your husband, because nothing really happened and you will make sure that nothing happens. Nothing good - seriously nothing, nothing - would come out of you telling your husband this.

I'm going to give you some 2x4 advice as a woman married 21 years who also pined for another guy for a while. He was no good for you then and he is no good for you now. He didn't want to commit to you, your husband did. He also has no problem getting in between your marriage. Is this really somebody you want in your…

He's not your friend, he's just some guy who wants to stick his dick in you. Once. And then he wants to go stick his dick in other people who aren't you.

No, no. Absolutely not. Buffy's journey as a hero was not over when she essentially bowed out because she felt she had nothing left to live for in S5. Her whole "the hardest thing in this world is to live in it" was a big clue-in. Her sacrifice was defeat. And that is definitely not how BtVS should have gone out. Nor…

OH YAY MORE KID ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WITH NO KIDS.

He looked like an aging caveman. How could that be hotter than Spike?

Girl...

Angel has stupid hair.

Wait, what? So Angel is totally absolved of what he does without a soul - he even gets a whole other identity - but Spike's soulless deeds are still souled Spike's deeds?

And this:

Spike didn't have a soul, which would put him on the same level as Angelus when he tried to rape her. Without a soul, he went through hell to get one back. Angelus does exactly the opposite.

And let's not forget that at that time, SPIKE HAD NO SOUL! He was a monster and acted like one. Then, his guilt and self-loathing compelled him to fight to get his soul back. Angelus wouldn't have attempted rape, he'd have done it and loved it. Angel's getting his soul back was punishment, Spike's was salvation.

No, Spike did not have his soul when he tried to rape Buffy. That was the whole point of him leaving and putting himself through the trials to get it back, because he could play at being a 'man' — and did it sometimes convincingly — but without his soul, he was still a monster. If you think that Angelus isn't the…

That Spike became a favorite before regaining his soul is beside the point.

Ugh, it's like she hasn't even read Season 8. Angel is the WRONG choice!

It is completely impossible to design ANY system that requires human input to be foolproof. There are always going to be liars and cheats. It's just like welfare: yes, some people abuse the system. They are statistically insignificant and there is no way to completely eliminate them that doesn't punish massive amounts…

I'm having the time of my life. I love fall and winter and completely despise spring and summer. This is nature giving me a few last days of happiness before my reverse SAD kicks in.

I eat everything with my hands while in the privacy of my own home.* I also take apart pizza if given the opportunity. I was deconstructing food years before I heard about it on cooking shows.

Eh. I wasn't not voting for McCain because he was old. I was not voting for him because of his terrible ideas and strikingly poor choice of running mate.
