Ali Mukhtab: You are a terrifying creature. You do not take your place in your father's tent, letting men make your decisions. You ride as a man, you fight as a man, and you think as a man --
Alanna: I think as a human being. Men don't think any differently from women -- they just make more noise about being able to.
Ali Mukhtab: Have you not discovered that when people, men and women, find a woman who acts intelligently, they say she acts like a man?

even the odd, awkward, or “bad” seasons/episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer are actually perfect.

I’ve officially decided I cannot work with Cousin Matthew. I’ve begun imagining things he’s said to me now. Good grief. Since I asked him out he sometimes makes jokes (clever ones too damn it) about my age, I never speak a word of it because according to him it’s the main factor contributing to why we’ll never ever go out on a date. We were talking about television...

I am burdened with glorious purpose. My roommate thought this was the most hilarous line in The Avengers and I guess she wrote it down on a random recipt after we saw the movie, but like most paperwork in our apartment it got scattered and lost.
