Yay! Time to eat my cheesecake bar!

Title: An Unbearable Lightness of Brain Cells
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Buffy/Angel
Pairing: None. I swear. Witch's honor. I don't care what it looks like.
Summary: A chance meeting between Connor and Dawn results in some major life-changing damage.
Archive: Just give me fair warning.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. Otherwise, I'd be much nicer to them, with the sole exceptions of Connor and Dawn, who'd be fed to rabid mutant squirrels. But I swear I'll be nice to them in the story, honest. (Okay, sorta nice. No embarrassing photos, and pulses all around.)
Spoilers for: Angel -- "Home", Buffy -- "Chosen"
Author's Note: Fair warning ... this chapter's fairly gruesome at one point. Just figured I'd give a head's-up.

Just a thought. Or two.

You realize, of course, that if OneYearAgo!TP knew Now!TP was going to be writing a fic with both Dawn and Connor in it, she'd watch episodes of "Street Smarts" until she'd killed the brains cells that were going to come up with that fic.

And here's my sorta-offensive thought for today ... I was in the 7-11 tonight and I spotted the cover of Time magazine, which had a picture of former President Reagan with the phrase "The Reagan Letters". Is it wrong that when I first saw that, Elmo singing the ABC song got stuck in my head and hasn't left since?

Oh, and you know that thing I said about taking over the world this weekend? Apparently, that's out, as I received several cease-and-desist letters from Mojo Jojo, Pinky, and a few James Bonds villains. I'm telling you, nobody ever lets me have any dictatorial fun anymore.

Well, not since that day at the circus. But I'm told the clowns at Ringling Brothers will rescind that restraining order any day now.

Nobody can say I don't wake up in the morning on a Saturday and get anything done, since I just started my first community, spellweavers. If you write original fantasy fiction and have been looking for a place to meet other fantasy writers ... well, there you go.

Okay, off to the showers with me.

EDIT: Oh, want to know why Anne Rice's novels blow? It's because she's a pompous ass. And apparently, an infallible one. *eye roll*

The "Which one of these is a lie?" meme. Let's see who can get this right.

1. My mother, who works in customer service at my hometown's phone company, once hooked up the phone service for Bronson Pinchot, the guy from "Perfect Strangers".

2. My first roommate in college was the cousin of Lukas Haas, the kid from "Witness".

3. When I first went to see "Life is Beautiful," it hit me so hard emotionally that I wrote Roberto Benigni a six-page fan letter. Four days after the Oscars, I got a phone call from his assistant in Italy telling me how much Roberto had appreciated the letter.

4. The temp who works with me at my new job was an extra in the first episode of "Angel".

5. I went to the same high school as Marc Blucas about five years after him. I never met the guy, and I don't tell anyone anymore because everybody I know watches "Buffy" and I learned really fast that it's always a really awkward conversation.

Okay, which one is the dirty, dirty lie?

Lars, shut UP. Just shut up and go the hell away. Seriously.

( The answers to the lie meme )

And hey, I got enough celeb-related stories for another go-around. Okay, which one of these is a dirty, dirty lie?

1. My mother once nearly stole a banana peel Tiger Woods threw away.

2. My little brother went to Los Angeles a while back with a friend of his and tried hitting on this one girl in a restaurant who turned him down. They got to talking, and she mentioned she was an actress. A few weeks ago, he finally figured out who she was when he saw an ad for "The O.C." and recognized her as the blond chick.

3. My uncle is a music critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. He's interviewed Paul McCartney, Elton John, Chris Rock, etc. He also got a phone call at his house from Ellen Degeneres after he gave her show a positive review.

4. My aunt's college roommate dated Owen Wilson. He used to hang out with her all the time.

5. My mother once sold one of her art projects to the actress who played Jason's mother in "Friday the 13th".

Okay, what's the lie? (Wow, I've got more of these stories than I thought.)

Yet another sign that I'm a child of my generation ... I'm sitting here in my room listening to "Jump in the Line," and I keep looking at the door as if a bunch of dead football players and Winona Ryder are going to conga into the room.

Oooo, I definitely can't even begin to afford the amount of psychological help I need. Maybe I can get a scholarship or something.
