It's the meat, not the metaphor

You know, frankly? Angel is a drama queen. And that's one of many reasons I love him. From his first appearance on Buffy to squealing the car tires for no reason, he's pulled out the diva stops. And good on him for that, because it's just plain adorable coming from a big brooding hulk of a guy. So me, I'm laughing. Now I'll go sit in the corner with my dunce cap on.
