Going Through the Motions

Showing Emily Buffy the Vampire Slayer may not have been my absolutely best idea to keep her occupied. She's fallen in love with it, and has seriously asked me if anyone's tried staking slendershit. 'Just in case'.
At least she's smart enough to understand it's just fiction, I was half worried she'd start trying to convince me to call a Slayer to take care of him.
Not that that surprises me, the kid is a fucking genius. I don't just mean she's kind of bright, I mean she's six years old and she's already gotten past the point where my fourth grade educated ass can actually help her with her work.
It's interesting. I can't help but wonder what she would've been if she'd had a chance to grow up normally, go to school and all. She's fucking ridiculously smart, she would've been a damn rocket scientist or grown up to cure fucking cancer or something. And now she'll be lucky if she lives past her next birthday.

In other news, Spencer came by today. For... about half an hour. It was good seeing him, wish he could've stayed longer, pretty much all the same shit I've said the other couple times he's made it out to see me.

Also, heading off to see another friend, I'll tell you more about that when it's happened.

  1. Huh...

    HAS anyone hired a slayer?

    I mean, we don't lose anything by trying...

  4. Hmm, honestly I thought showing her Buffy would have gone a lot worse. And damn, the kid has a point.

  5. Heh, funny- albeit terrible- thought.
    Maybe she'll grow up to figure out how to kill this thing instead now. Ought to be about as much of an accomplishment as curing cancer, right?

    Seeing that fate more as terrible, really.

  6. Oh hey, wait until you get to explain the gratuitous boning between the Big Bad and the blonde Slayer.

    1. She has a vague idea about what is going on with that, she's much, much further in the series than that-we just watched the musical episode today, which is where the title came from

  7. Take care of her, Elaine.

    There are a lot of things a smart kid can get into. I don't wish any of them on her.

    1. Trust me, I will. I have a tiny damn genius child, and I'm going to do everything I can for her.

  8. I imagine it would be difficult to stalk something that can teleport around on a whim... but maybe I'll try that sometime later and see how it works out.

    1. Or you could not, and not take a crazy suicidal risk?

  9. i love buffy the vampire slayer. of course, towards the end, it got pretty bad. what with buffy being all bitchy towards everybody. and oh my god all the potentials were so annoying.

    anyway. i need to give you a title, but i've become stumped. i mean, i'm only one messianic figure, i can't figure out everything.

    so: i, whitelight, hereby dub thee...//Whatever//.

    1. ... I don't know whether I'm more insulted by the fact that you were trying to give me a title or the fact that my title as you state it is 'whatever'

    2. i'm trying to give everyone titles.

      so it's probably the latter.

  10. people who grew from harsh childhoods are more likely to succeed in almost every aspect of life. Of course you must survive first.
    This faceless bastard is new to me, but I know what I'm talking about.
