Also, if you haven’t already, here are some tips for bringing your ladyfriend home for the holidays. If you need recipe ideas try making some quinoa or sweet potato related foods. It’s all we eat, apparently.
ALSO. Did you read Inferno for the book club? We’re talking about it! Okay, I’m not because I haven’t read it yet. But you should!

On Upcoming Buffy Movie Not Written by Joss Whedon; Panic and Rage Ensue:
The These Comment Awards Not Written By Joss Whedon Award to Billy:
If you don’t like Anya you haven’t seen “The Body”.I’m glad that everyone has joined in my outrage at every movie that isn’t written by Joss Whedon, like “Harry Potter Movie Not Written by Joss Whedon- Public Demands Answers”. There should be a disclaimer on every movie not written by Joss Whedon, akin to “coffee will burn you” on cups, just so the public is fully aware that this movie isn’t written by Joss Whedon and lawsuits are thus prevented.
also… “No power in the ‘verse can stop me”

The Pragmatic Award to sarahhh:
I’m home for the week for doctors’ appointments but I let my mom think that I’m home just for her. I really don’t think she’d fare well if she knew I came home for Thanksgiving in order to see my gyno.
I can always count on Emily to give me a comment award every other week. Thanks Emily! On that note, I going putting my I Am Thankful For My Bed Award to good use and going back to bed, which I am still thankful for even after Thanksgiving.
Also did you guys know that some garages aren’t open today. I didn’t. If you were going to get your car inspected and are American, don’t. Go back to bed.
and the streak continues, even if only for one word! thanks miss choo.
Yay! sharing a streak with terracottatoes. By the way, sometimes I read your name like terracotta toes, and sometimes like terra cotatoes (like potatoes) which makes no sense, of course. Po-tay-toes, po-tah-toes…
yeah that last cottatoes appears to incite confusion. when i met emily she called me cottagecheesetoes.
I actually thought your name was terra cotatoes (like potatoes) this whole time. It’s been very confusing for me.
I was reading it as “terra cottages” for a while, which I thought was such an awesome pun that you will always be terracottages to me.
i’m so happy that you also see ‘cottage’ in there.
You know, I have never made it to the “toes” part of the name. I only get as far as “terracotta” before I just start reading the comment.
DUDE! I Can’t believe I made the comment of the week. My holiday is complete!
I also had to minimize this twice while commenting.
do we need an e award for e
Or an eeeee! award for e.
e! true hollywood story for e which later wins an emmy. or a tony. or just a shiny statue of a gnome.
oh, you guys
my brother had a dream he was eating dinner with Oscar of the Oscars and then some alien shit went down and all the Oscars turned to weapons to save the world, maybe e be like a M.I.B. Oscar award
I hereby decree that all wasteunit awards go to e. I’m picturing them as golden trash cans.
thank you, but i’m going to need a bigger nightstand
Sweet! My birthday yesterday was semi-sucky, but this makes it so much better. Thanks. :D
I’m sorry you had your birthday on a day you probably couldn’t choose what to eat since the festive menu is pre-ordained.
Thanks. It actually turned out to be okay. Chocolate cake for me along with the baked mac & cheese and homemade mashed potatoes I managed to put together made me pretty happy. I could have probably done without a few of the people and particularly their attitudes is all.
I hope those people got the tiniest slices of cake! Happy Thanksgiving-is-over :)
Thanksgiving is over AND I have left over cake. Win! :)
Sadly, I don’t like cranberry sauce either, I pretty much only eat turkey and mashed potatoes at thanksgiving. Why yes, I am a picky eater.
i am thankful for autostraddle and everyone who frolics here, awards, and leftovers.
e, i just want you to know that the following comment won an award in my heart. arguably heart awards are the best kind of awards.

YESSS terracottatoe-heart-award. this is going on my nightstand. :)
my award is better, it’s official and comes with something practical that i can’t think of now.
don’t worry emily, yours are on my nightstand also
sometimes i get competitive and can’t control myself.
i understand. my dad is currently setting up a ping pong table, and i’m worried about myself.
just how big are your nightstands, e? it was too dark last night for me to make out their proportions.
SERIOUSLY, is your quest in life to make everything dirty for me? when we opened the cranberry sauce, i started giggling, and i got weird looks from everyone.
The answer to that question is nothing but yes.
Great, I get a comment award and my damn typing error is included. I put “there is cat” instead of “there is A cat.” What a way to put damper on an otherwise exciting moment.
I ONLY WIN COMMENT AWARDS WHEN I POST IN ALLCAPS.
I am ok with this.
p.s. the thing I am most thankful for this thxgiving is Autostraddle. duh.
Winning a comment award has made me less afraid of the internet. I’ve always felt that any comment left is sure to start a war and I am not cut out for that kind of thing. I can’t even spell bazuka.
bazooka. just here to help.
