Do you think if I explain to the divorce lawyers that Ex is an alien it would help or hinder my case?Scrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922358016805022637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-33348926206663101472007-12-20T22:52:00.000-05:002007-12-20T22:52:00.000-05:00Theodora: no, see! you can't think that way.

It's all those other people who are the weirdos.<BR/><BR/>I just floated this theory to my old friend Victoria (in part by way of explaining the behavior of some of the people in her department, in part by way of commentary on things in my own life), and she reminded me of something she'd said this summer--rather profoundly, I think!--which is that one should never assume that other people actually know why the hell they do the things they do.<BR/><BR/>Still, I resist this idea. I much prefer to believe they're all space aliens, following a logic that, while it might be obscure to me, at least makes sense to <I>someone</I>.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-71945539374520698562007-12-20T11:47:00.000-05:002007-12-20T11:47:00.000-05:00Oh my God, is THAT it?

In the face of anything otherwise inexplicable and clearly abnormal, one could always turn to the handy fact that Sunnydale was located on a Hellmouth, which ultimately could explain anything.What Now?https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017629066466055668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-65033196876947262482007-12-19T20:58:00.000-05:002007-12-19T20:58:00.000-05:00That's going to help a lot this holiday.
