(I was amused that she was discreet even in her text messages, in case someone happened to read it instead of me, or something.)

Hee, that is precisely why I did that.

Additionally...

I spewed out so many profanities I think I scarred her for life.

I doubt that. Didn't realize you knew who was though.

And that story at the end? AWESOME.

Isn't it? Those are the stories life is made of.

Wow. Well done.

afrocurl October 2 2006, 06:57:45 UTC

Nicely done! Gaby tried to get me into it, and she failed, if only because I know I suck at this, but a noble effort nonetheless.

I don't come here much, and you and I don't have much in common, but I love you and it needs to be said every so often.
Okay? Okay.

spectralbovine October 2 2006, 07:27:38 UTC

Thank you, 'mato.

And hey! We both love the Dresden Dolls. So there's that.

You know, I never clicked on any of the links to Help Me Veronica since, er, I could tell exactly what it was, but now that I look I'm really impressed. That's a lot of elaborate work and I feel a faint pride that you a) did this involved thing and b) pissed off yet more people with your boundless enthusiasm, which is the mark of true fannish passion.

Seriously, well done.

Even though your emo showrunner email is, like, EERILY reminiscent of Rob Thomas at his alienating-est.

spectralbovine October 2 2006, 07:36:31 UTC

I don't really see it, but okay.

I did wonder how people like Rob Thomas and Tim Minear and such deal with putting their hearts and souls into things that nobody watches and get cancelled.

pissed off yet more people with your boundless enthusiasm, which is the mark of true fannish passion.
And how did I manage to do that in, like, a community dedicated to fannish passion? I'm awesome.

I think it's this:

And if that's not enough to please people or hold their interest, I'm fucking sorry. I'm sorry I didn't create the Veronica Mars ARG the whole world was waiting for.

Maybe time and bitterness have blurred my memory, I don't know.

Oh, Polter-Cow, you ARE so dreamy!

spectralbovine October 2 2006, 07:44:41 UTC

I'm the dreamiest! Especially when my voice is distorted.
