Buffy Slept Here

It can be really hard to explain internet friendships to people who don't have them.

 

This is a shot of Lol with a picture that Susan Sabo smalldogs went out and shot for her, printed and mailed to us. It's a picture of the house which featured as Buffy's home, and Susan went and did that after she read that Lol had discovered "The Buffy the Vampire Slayer" show, and was immersing herself in fandom. It's a fair bit of trouble to go to for people you haven't met irl.

 

Thanks smalldogs. I'd guess that you'd have cracked up laughing at her trying to read your writing... "Bubby slept here... Bussy... Bunny." and all the time I was shouting things like "Look at the house... don't you recognise it?" When she finally worked it out she was really amazed, and very pleased by the coolness factor. Sorry it's such a serious shot... I was going for the Alistair Cooke "Masterpiece Theatre" vibe. It's too cold to go outside and do action shots.

 

Anyhow if there's one thing I've realised during 2008 it's that internet friends will go to more than a fair bit of trouble for each other.

 

So I'd like to thank all of you, but some of you very special internet friends in particular.
