Y'know, I probably should've asked Anya exactly how long she was planning on staying in London. I'm getting a little sleep deprived between late night patrols and opening the Magic Box in the morning. It's not the most exciting work in the world, either--I just about fell asleep at the register the other afternoon it was so slow. At least I was ( Read more... )

The talk with Amanda went really well, even if I do think I made her nervous. Guess she thought I'd think it was strange she was practicing with a sword, seemed like she was trying to hide it. But when I mentioned needing some practice with it myself, she got really engaged in the whole self defense business, so I think I can count on her being ( Read more... )

I had a really nice talk with Dawnie the other night. Mostly I wanted to check on her after all the prom badness and make sure she was okay, but we ended up reminiscing about bad old times. Which sounds bad, I guess, but it just sort of highlighted how much we've both changed. She ended up with a lot of common sense, which I wasn't sure she would, ( Read more... )

Dawn's graduation was thankfully free of giant snakes or monsters of any kind. The speaker didn't even go on and on. Just a quick, simple ceremony and my little sister is all graduated. Guess the universe owed them after the prom nastiness--some of the other graduates looked a little shell-shocked. Anyway, I found a pretty jade and pearl pendant ( Read more... )

Y'know, I thought hellhounds at the prom was bad enough, but that was just some jerk's stupid prank. The demons last night--I think Giles called them Corth--that was nearly a massacre. Sheesh, demons dressed in formalwear and sunglasses to hide their creepy little extra mouths. At least ten of them--who knows if any got away before the fighting ( Read more... )

I can't believe my little sister is off at her prom tonight! I really kinda wish everyone had come in for pictures or something, now that most of the excess people have finally cleared out, but they seemed like they were in a rush. She looked just adorable in her gown, and I still can't believe no cute guy has snapped her up. I suppose I never had ( Read more... )

Angel got back okay. Seems when the blip disappeared off the map he and Harmony poofed into his old mansion. Along with a slayer from the future, Melaka something. Um, okay, what is it with Angel and the freaky slayer attraction anyway? I almost asked if he's sleeping with her too, but they don't seem to be putting out that kind of vibe. They're ( Read more... )

So, I did the sister thing and took Dawn and her friends shopping for prom last weekend. I don't think I've seen four more clueless shoppers before in my life! And where the heck was the excitement? I mean, this is prom, end of senior year, end of an era! A little enthusiasm couldn't hurt, people! Okay, I get the not being psyched because of not ( Read more... )

Was it this hard getting my life back together after a few months being dead? Somehow I don't remember it being that bad. Of course, if I'd signed up for a semester of school then, I'd have had the perfect excuse for not showing up. Getting stuck time traveling doesn't exactly rate high on UC Sunnydale's list of acceptable reasons for dropping out ( Read more... )

Can I say how much a couple of months in the 19th century makes a girl appreciate modern plumbing? I really tried not to run us completely out of hot water. After the initial shock of us poofing back into my own house (and figuring out that it wasn't still my birthday party, even though a lot of the same people were there), the first thing on my ( Read more... )
