I Was Kissing Valentino by a Crystal Blue Italian Stream

This is the first chance I have had to check LJ and my email today!! I have been working! Hard! And - now this is the kicker - kinda enjoying it.

I like evaluating files - reading everything we have and breaking it down into a story. This is cool. Also - I learn about some pretty cool injuries like broken mandibles and scalp de-gloving and this really helps torture the characters I love in my head.

I've already scalped Justin, so not going there again - BUT - now I am thinking about that summer that Wes broke his jaw and had to have it wired shut. It was kinda nerve-wracking because he is already so thin and he lost like 15 lbs in two weeks. His relationship with Angel did not suffer however - as long as Angel's mouth is not wired shut...there was really no reason for it to...Hmmmmm....

*happy place*

My job helps me torture the few fictional humans I love. This is a good thing.

Also on my list of good things: SLAYAGE!!! And all the cool people that are now coming - I am so fricking psyched. So - if you are gonna be at slayage - speak up here. I needs to know. Nothing says Buffy Studies like downtown Nashville, if you know what I am saying and I think you do.

Lex heals way to quickly to be any fun. As do slayers. Although - Lex with his jaw wired shut could be a *lot* of fun.

SLAYAGE!

Who rocks the body that rocks the party?

Um, I believe that would be us.

Who is the man. Who is the MAN, sir!

I so wish I was going to Nashville! I demand in-depth reports from everyone there. I'm so sad to miss it.
So close, and yet still so far. (Cities in mirror are farther away than they appear on the map. Especially when it's, say, a world map.)

At least I have thoughts of Vegas to console me.

I've been missing you! Every day I've been thinking, "but where is my sisabet? I haven't *seen* her." Eventually this would have translated into a plaintive e-mail. Thank goodness you've posted and spared us both.

Also? Your subject line is evil, partly because I always hated the Bangles with a passion, but mostly because the line (just the one line) is stuck in my head in this wicked strange medley with endless, detailed verse and chorus repetitions from Prince's "1999" — I didn't know I *knew* this many lyrics from "1999."

I'll be at the "Slayage" conference, too, though when I checked the program, I saw that my panel ("Religion III" -- how inspiring and original!) is on opposite your presentation Sunday afternoon, so I won't get to enjoy that.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you there.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

But! But! I wanted to see your panel.

[revdorothyl.livejournal.com]

You're so sweet! And I definitely wanted to see yours.

The scheduling sucks big-time, doesn't it? Plus, now I have to be prepared to fight you to see which one of us is in more need of having Miss Murchison attend our presentations and provide moral support: Me! It's me! I need her far more than you do! And I'll hold my breath if I don't get my way!

Now that we've settled THAT question in a mature and reasonable fashion . . . !

Seriously -- Will you be attending the reception Thursday night, and/or the banquet/OMWF sing-along on Friday night? I'm planning to be at both of those. And I'm chairing a panel on "Mothers, Fathers, Families" just before the supper hour on Saturday. We must, must, must find time to connect and raise a glass or two or three . . .

I'll be there! In your room, using your toothpaste and your blowdryer and making martinis and, and, and... stuff!

I can't wait! But I can wait. But I can't wait!
