Cool Characters

I saw a discussion about Buffyverse characters the other day, in which someone said they couldn't relate to Faith or Spike because they're "cool".

...at which point everyone else jumped on them and said "What do you mean they're cool? They're not cool really! They're just pretending! It's a defense mechanism!"

Which got me thinking.

Nephew Update

Alex loves playing games (such as dominoes) and gets very stern with me when I don't play them the right way.

Caleb insists on me sitting next to him while he watches A Bugs Life, so that he can tell me all about it. ("Now there's the mean bugs. See - the mean bugs. They're very nasty, Auntie Deird...")

Josh recognises his own name and smiles whenever I say it.
