x-files vs. Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I've been shocking people for weeks now. I can now say that I am no longer addicted to the x-files! Yeah, I know... WOW! It's amazing.

Yes I still collect, but it doesn't run my life as it once did. I've seen every episode...I think.... I own almost all of them anyway. LOL. Now that the show is over I need something else... different, so S., one of my friends here has introduced me to Buffy the vampire slayer. Now, I know what some people think... OMG, how could she ever like something so... YUK! But, actually, buffy has so much more than the x-files ever had, and it's sooooooooo funny. At the moment the episdoes are so good that I sit at the edge of my chair and I get so surprised and taken up by it.

I guess I'm addicted to something again.

You know you're addicted, when you read and write fanfiction, and watch it on tv every time it's on, and you write small commentareies on the characters... LOL

Actually, my next episode is going to contain a commentary about buffy the vampire slayer. I know. You don't have to read it, but it kinda just occured to me the other day. LOL. WHile I was in Biology none the less.

If you've never seen Buffy you'll probably understand little of my rantings, but if you want an explanation just let me know and I'll type something up. LOL
Well, that's it for now... now on the commentary...

Getting Hooked

S.'s gotten me hooked on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The first few seasons were bad, I was actually one of those people who watched the first season when it came out and couldn't stand Angel and Cordy, so I stopped watching. Now I've been watcing it again. It's sooooo much better now, and it has been for a while. It playing catch-up now!

And what I've been liking the most is the Spike/Buffy romance. So, you can imagine what I felt like when Buffy said that it was over because it was killing her... Killing her my ass! She's just scared about the relationship and what others think, for no freaking reason.
She thinks she's too goos for him because she's human and the slayer, but as a female, and a human, I can honestly say that it's the opposite. He's too good for her! and she needs to get her head out of her ass and see that!

Here is a man- A MAN, so what if he's a vampire, he's got male physiology and the same thoughts and emotions. Hell, besides that his heart NO LONGER beats, he is just as foolish as any man in love. Spike is so much like William (His soul) in that way. Besides for the fact that Spike is more reassured and cocky (Probably became that way because of Dru [his sire and mate], atleast she did something right) he's the same as William carring his heart on his sleave.
She doesn't even realise all that he's given up for her. So what if he changed due to the chip in his head, but do they really think that a small piece of technology would change him personality-wize? It's about as changeing as Kartman's swearing chip (southpark movie). The chip inhibits his ablility to feed on humans, hurt them. Yes, he bacame softer. Hell, if your life was built on violence and that was taken away from you you'd be a sass too.

However, no one (except Dawn) cares to look at how he's changed. After the Initiative (a military section that works against evil things) he began helping them: Patroling, research, babysitting even! When Buffy died he was there for Dawn, protecting her and being there for her as much as he could. When Willoe got mixed up in Magiks (Black Magic) and took Dawn with her to see Rack (her supplier) Spike was up and helping Buffy.

However, lets turn it around. Just as soon as Spike needs to be given more credit, he's got a lot to learn too. First of all, the tying Buffy up and saying that he'll let Dru feed on he if she didn't tell him that she loved him- Wrong approach! Maybe he's been undead too long to realise that that's not going to get his love to requite his feelings.

Also, when he realised that the chip didn't go off when he hit Buffy... He beat her up?! What's he thinking? Standing there and telling her that she came back wrong is not the best thing for an insecure little girl. She is afterall a girl compared to him. Buffy's what, 20 years old? Spike's 150 or more..... She should be a child compared to him. Perhaps that's why she can't commit. Spike was with Dru for over a century, commiting himself and breaking down when he found her with the caos demon.

Emptionally he's just prepared for the long haul, whereas she isn't. She loves him though. He needs to be patient, and not to give up.

Buffy needs to learn that people can change. Spike needs to be gentle and wait. He's scared of that though. Noth that he's not willing, but as a Slayer of Slayers, he knows that they are disposable, living only a couple years. He just wants as much time with her as possible, which in my mind is not only understandable, but perhaps the most romantic part of their relationship.

White

I'm dreaming of a white christmas... just like the ones I used to know... where the tree tops glisten and children listen... to hear sleighbells in the snow....
Well, It was a white christmas, and a white new year, and it's still white, and as beautiful as ever. I there's about ten maybe 15 centimeters of snow, and when I look out the window I think... wow! It's beautiful!

Danielle, a friend from Chicago is coming to visit next week friday for 4 days. Then Eric Belmont will be here for days the begining of febuary! I haven't seen him since... 10th grade when he came to visit. Eric, Jan B. and I were best friends in 9th grade at AAS. It feels like yesterday when the two of us were sitting around worring about Jan and what he'd been doing to himself.
He's in for a surprise when he sees that Jan has changed. LOL! I can't wait to see his reaction!
I wonder what Mom will think of him. It's been a while and she doesn't remember what he looks like. Hell, I barely remember what he looked like in tenth grade, much less imagine what he's like now!

lol... life's good for now!
