I really hate that " all's fair in love and war" I mean come on ...We all know there are things that are over the line. Besides as I tell my students, if life was fair pizza and chocolate would be as good for you and low in calories as raw veggies:)
I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

Ah, once again back to my dear imponderables. I survived getting run off with by my psycho horse, so all is good.... 
MSG: cats are a pain to train. All the usual food techniques all make them more bothersome. I would just move the cat everytime it gets in the way. Or learn to compute avec kitty.

I always thought that scene was less about Buffy trying to make Angel jealous and more about power. She feels vulnerable (due to Master slayage) and is going to make herself feel powerful, no matter who she hurts. At least, that's always been my take.
I have never intentionally set something up to make someone feel jealous, but who hasn't sort of enjoyed the naturally occurring moments when it becomes apparent to your SO that you are wanted by others. IMO, that's all goodness (unless SO is controlling and turns it into badness). A little rush of "hey, s/he's with me. I'm lucky." But intentionally doing something rotten, like the Buffy/Xander/Angel thing, is indicative of a problem in the relationship, IMO.

So...you're into pain, little boy? 
I am off to get my tin-foil helmet on - I was just about to play with the jealousy Imponderable in my fic, so someone is stealing my thoughts. *Waves a pointy stick* Back off, these are my plot bunnies, mine, mine...
Too much caffeine. *SpaceAnJL lurches back into the Forsaken thread*

As to what MSG was saying about school... ahh, school. Doesnt start for me for two more weeks, but of course I need to do a mound of homework before then.
Rose, I admit that 'last resort' was a bad word choice on my part, but it was for a lack of a better term. Ie, that marriage should be the culmination of a relationship, not the high point of it. (That may be the same thing, but not in my mind for some reason)
And jealousy, while we've been over this before, I too gotta say that jealousy makes no one happy, and if it's a way to get someone to take action, just talk to the dang person, whichever gender is who, don't matter none.
P.S. Rugbug, are you ok? Something about being run over by your beloved equine?

You can't train cats, MsG. I can't even post the pic of my li'l furmonster.

Yep, fine. Thanks for the concern. Actually, I didn't get run over...but run-off with.
Horsey decided that he needed to get away from something REAL QUICK during our ride on Sunday. I had flashes of falling off and re-injury, but managed to keep said horsey between me and the ground. Biggest problem is appropriate reaction is counter-intuititve. All you want to do is pull back and make them stop ASAP. With my horse, you have to stop pulling and just let him go. If you do that, he decides pretty quickly that going anywhere that fast is TOO.Much.Work. He will them stop of his own accord. But there's a few seconds of scary/no-control.Spaceanjl: I trained my cat to sit down on command. It started out food-based and mostly her idea and I ran with it. It was a fun little trick, but said kitty had to go to the great kitty beyond. She was cool.
