Virgo

Mostly I sit around reading Victorian novels all day. I changed the way I spelled my name after I read Anne of Green Gables, and once took to my bed for two days sick with heartbreak.
I have recently discovered that taking to your bed blows, and have changed my literary heroine from Ruby Gillis with consumption to Lizzie Bennet. She's got chutzpah, that one. I'd much rather walk two miles to Pemberly to see my sick sister than just get really pale and pretty just before I die.
I'm a bit embarrassed, frankly, that it took this long to figure that out.
I've just become a Masshole, but my heart still lives in Burlington.

I'd like to walk into a diner and discover all my old friends sitting at a table together eating fries and telling bad jokes.
Except why wasn't I invited? And does that mean I'm dead?

Okay so instead I'll say all those Slayers whose powers were activated in the series finale who can't figure out what to do with their powers. I think we've got some conversating to do.
