So, um, what does meme stand for?

[summers_day]

I guess this is as good a way to say 'hi' as any, but. . .well, last time I was cyberwired, there was no such word as "blog," much less "meme." And hey, doesn't "blog" sound like something ugly? Like a bleached frog? Or a. . .bloated dog?

Somebody needs to consult with me before they invent words. Clearly.

>>I like cheese<<

Abundantly clear.

[summers_day]

. . .

Warren Meers? You of all people cannot be contacting me to hear my feelings about CHEESE.

*locked*

Did you build another robot? Is that why nobody knows I've been gone?

And didn't Willow flay you enough?

LOCKED

[i_warren]

Sure, but not you. I'm flattered, though. Really.

Also, I'm doing good, thanks for asking. You?

[summers_day]

*NOT locked*

Last time I saw you with your skin still attached, you were trying to KILL me. With a GUN. I don't like people who try to kill me. And I really really don't like guns.

Why would I care how you are?

[i_warren]

Maybe because that was a long time ago and I was going through a thing at the time and I'm probably sorry by now. Probably. Who knows.

[summers_day]

Oh, gee.

You were going through a thing. And you're probably sorry.

Be still my heart.

Get in touch with me when you're actually sorry.

[i_warren]

Okay.

Hi.

That's me, getting in touch.

[summers_day]

So you're actually sorry?

Not probably?

Just getting this straight before we go on.

[i_warren]

Yeah. I'm sorry I shot you.

I'm not sorry I hated you, though.

[summers_day]

Actually you missed.

And shot the one person I ever heard say anything nice about you.

I'm not sorry I hated you, though.

Oh, I bet you say that to all the girls.

[i_warren]

Vital organs, yeah. Your entire body? No.

But this is between me and you, so let's stick to that. Other people and me have already had this talk.

I shouldn't have done it. I wish I hadn't.

And all the girls? Nah, Summers. You? Are special.

[summers_day]

Please, I don't even keep track of the grazes.

How many people do you have to apologize for shooting?
Don't answer that.

*breathes deeply*

All right. If you really are sorry, I could give you a fair chance. It's not like I've never dealt with any people on the atonement track. There was Angel. But he didn't have a soul, he had no choice. And Spike. Ditto. And Andrew. Though he was mostly just susceptible to bad influence; usually yours. Willow. Though after what you did. . . And Faith Though. . .she's a hot chick with superpowers? All that one almost works. I'll try comparing him to Faith. As long as I don't have to imagine him in leather pants.

Though so far, I don't have any good reason to believe you ARE sorry.

And don't call me Summers.

Only Ford got to do that. OK, sometimes Spike. Occasionally Todd.

[i_warren]

Words are pretty much all I've got. Take them, or leave them.

I'm also not on a path of redemption or anything over here, just so that's clear. I'm more on a path of...I dunno. Hanging out. Maybe getting a job. Or something.

[summers_day]

I'm afraid you're out of luck, then.

The world's full of pretty words that aren't true. I don't believe words anymore.

I'll have to see you to know what I think. And I don't think I'm ready fo that yet.

Not just you. I'm not meeting anybody, yet.

*shrugs*

Redemption is Angel's thing, more than mine. Maybe it's not for everybody. Maybe some people just have to get by.

Have you shot anybody lately? If the answer's no, I guess that's a start.

[i_warren]

No.

I beat the crap out of Tucker Wells, but he had it coming.

[summers_day]

Oh.

I've done that.

I can't really judge.

*smiles*

He goes down pretty easy, doesn't he? Or maybe it was the prom-related rage.
