Quote of the day:

This is Buffy the adult, Buffy the grown up, Buffy the woman who has died twice, seen two lovers leave her and one die (so she thinks), has been abandoned by her father and lost her mother at a young age, is responsible for caring for and saving both her sister and the world, and is left with friends who, for however loyal they may be, still expect far too much of her and project their own ideals onto her.

Bonus quote of the day:

why does everything have to mean something? art, photos, tattoos, words. everything is about the symbolic, the methaphorical, the hypothetical, the meaningful. what if i don’t want meaningful? what if i want to do just to do, and be just to be? what if i like it because it’s meaningless? i like it because it’s meaningless.
