My Life ... It's Random

March 20, 1997

I was a fifteen year old sophomore in high school when the first episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer premiered. I wasn’t popular, wasn’t cool, hung out with a bunch of misfits, even sometimes with a teacher or two.

And there was Buffy Summers, who hung out with her own group of misfits, even the librarian. She navigated the trials and tribulations of high school at the same time I was. Although a bit of escapism, in watching Buffy and her friends I found kindred spirits … a part of me in each of them.

When Buffy and Co. graduated high school in the summer of 1999 [Season 3], so did I … our cap and gown colors were even the same (yes, I geeked out).

As Buffy entered her first year in college [Season 4], so did I.

I lost my mom at the end of 1999.

Mid-way through Season 5 [2000 - 2001], Buffy lost her mom. That episode both moved me and brought the reality of my own situation crashing down on me … And then Anya said what I'm sure lots of people wish they could say but never do. I actually still cannot watch that episode.

Season 6 of Buffy was the darkest of the seasons and aired during some of my own darker moments. Although it was dark itself, the show was one of the few bright spots for me during that time … as I overcame some of my own personal demons by the middle of 2002, so did Buffy by the time Season 6 had ended.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended on May 20, 2003 … a part of me is still with the Scooby Gang (although not in Sunnydale since they blew that city to bits … ) The show will forever be a part of me, something to point to as having an impact on who I am now.

I’m ready to be strong.

So, my friend totally does not understand my fascination for older men ... Mark Harmon, Anthony Stewart Head ...

But come on!  Look at them!!!





Gorgeous, right??????

I snagged this from lexalicious70

Rules: 1.COMMENT WITH A MYSTERIOUS COMMENT OF YOUR CHOICE.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Post the names of five fictional characters and your thoughts on each.

( LARGE pics under here :D )

See this boy here?  He was in an episode of Criminal Minds tonight (a repeat on Ion)

The character's name?  Christopher Summers ... his character is being forced to strangle himself by his father (who I decided is his adoptive father) because the father has Munchausen by proxy ... so he goes to the hospital for a while and then some therapy and then he gets a foster home ...  lexalicious70 and I decided that Christopher Summers was adopted and his father is ... Buffy's dad!  That's right!  Christopher Summers is the first transgender Slayer!!!!

He goes to Sunnydale (if it's AU) or London (if we're sticking sort of to cannon) where he gets training.  Giles is ... flummoxed.  Xander is the older brother.  WIllow is ... babbling Willow.  Spike is flirtatious as hell!!!!!

When Christopher is all trained, he gets sent to ... Sunnydale Smallville to help with the ... unusual people there.

Then he gets kidnapped by vamps (kryptonite vamps) ... as do Lex and Clark ... then Spike shows up and he and Christopher save the day and ... nasty, naughty things happen with all four of them!!!!

Crack, right?

Unless it has Joss?  I'm totally against it ... He is the heart and soul of the show/movie and anything without him will fail miserably ...

There was this article telling us all the news ...

"Whit approached us with an exciting idea about how to update Buffy," said Roven. "There is an active fan base eagerly awaiting this character's return to the big screen ... "  This made me laugh ... Yes, there is an active fan base, and yes we are eagerly awaiting Buffy's return to the screen in any form ... but with Joss!  I for one will not go near any remake that isn't connected to Joss Whedon ...

Then I saw Joss' reaction to the news ... and it made me love him even more!!!!

Parting words ... Hollywood, leave Buffy alone unless you let Joss do it!!!  Anything else is blasphemy and sacrilege!!!  No love, Me.

I nicked this from weird_fin because it looked like uber fun!!!!
