I was just reading this article, thanks to secondalto, about beloved characters meeting ignoble ends. While I disagree with #7 (Wash, Serenity) because I don't think his death was ignoble at all -- he landed the boat mostly in one piece and thereby saved the rest of the crew from dying a fiery death -- I do agree with the following quote:

"Leave it to ruthless Joss Whedon to repay his rabid fans by killing off their most beloved character just before the climactic final scenes."

Wesley. Wash. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I wonder why I let him do this to me. Maybe I shouldn't even start to watch Dollhouse, when it comes to fruition. Really, I think I should just consider myself lucky that Xander survived the Buffy finale and cash in my chips.

(P.S. #1 made me giggle.)

How funny/sad is it that my ex's new GF and his friend *both* read my lj post from last night and commented to it?

If you read this one, Tonia, honey, he told me the same things he's telling you now, and I believed them, too. If you can get him to commit, good on you. I wish you luck. But if you really love him, do yourself and him a favor and get on him about his blood sugar. You think his credit's shot to hell? I still have several hundreds of dollars worth of telephone and electric bills -- shared expenses, just like the rent -- that I'm working to pay off (despite, as you pointed out, not being 'normal' even though my meds 'try' to make me normal... and did he tell you I'm also physically disabled? I thought not) as well as owing my parents for several months of rent when they hauled our asses out of the coals. On top of that, my father is still waiting for $300 for a new exhaust system from the Chevy Danny had before the Pontiac, that he said he'd pay back when he got his income tax return, and I have to keep begging him not to call and demand it because it will stir up shit that needs to stay at rest. Danny's not the sainted innocent in this. We both incurred our share of debt during the relationship. Just remember you're only hearing his side of things.

thepianoman, butt out. You always had your nose in things when we were together, but I thought now that I'm not with Danny anymore you'd haul it out of my business, at least. Stop reading my LJ. That's just sad. The actual "booty calls" didn't start until after he dumped me, and under the circumstances, I think I'm entitled. Mark is a lot better to me than Danny ever was, and we're not even in a relationship. I'm not, as you called it a "hypercondriac" (incidentally, it's "hypochondriac.") I am legitimately physically disabled and suffer from a number of mutually-occurring mental disorders. If you want to write it off as hypochondria, fine. If you want to think I'm a cheating bitch just because most of the girls you've dated were, fine. You're not part of my life, so you can think whatever the hell you want about me.

Danny, if you're reading this, TAKE FUCKING CARE OF YOURSELF. Then get a life and tell Matt and Tonia to get one, too. You 'moved on' so why shouldn't I be allowed to? Without the peanut gallery mentioned above commenting on my life, that is.
