Interesting that that is your immediate association upon my comment though
I don't know that it was an IMMEDIATE association, maybe me grasping for straws actually. Lots of people in this fandom have gone to college and don't do that, so I guess it's just a "me" thing. But my brain likes connections; even when I was in college and gave house parties, I would try to invite people from all the "different areas" of my life who didn't know each other already, and it usually made things more interesting. More connections made. Like, "cross-curriculum" but the social RL version. ;)
So I guess what I mean by "cute" is also "heartwarming" -- because it does so warm my heart that you think my ideas are share-worthy.
It's really hard for me to accept compliments! But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy them.
I am actually really shy about voicing my ideas because I have no confidence in them, which is one of the big personal problems I'm currently grappling with, I think.
That's me in a nutshell! And I've been grappling with it for decades, and sometimes I have more confidence in myself, and then something happens and it feels like the rug is pulled from under me and I go back into hiding. I think self-confidence is something that pretty much got hammered out of me when I was young.
With you, though? I'm really comfortable discussing things. So thank you for being awesome. ♥
*BLUSHES* I feel exactly the same way with you, dear. I'm glad you feel safe here, that's really important to me, and I love our conversations.
I love Spike as much as the next Spuffy shipper, but there is quite enough out there about him. Let Dru get some spotlight!
AMEN
So maybe it's not even that his heart is in that wrong a place, but his issues sure do get in the way.
That sounds about right. I take everything Joss says with a barrel of salt, though.
