How about a few more lurkers coming forward? So far no one has been hurt.

We get this thread up to 100 and I promise a good surprise for all. And that's in addition to the naked Xita pictures.

I know of a few folks who haven't said anything yet. Come on...
I guarantee safety and fun.

Well, I am obviously a non-registered lurker, who can't keep their opinion to themselves enough to maintain the lurker status. I have my definite opinion on just about everything, but I don't hold-it against anyone for having a differing POV, in fact I appreciate people who have their own individual way of doing/saying things-as long as they can respect me for the same reason. I am a huge Tara/Willow fan. I am currently writing a part 2 to the Demon in The Closet: http://pinkrabbit.simplenet.com/subtext ... closet.htm (yes, even more T/W fan-fiction). Which I hope to use as a spring-board to launch the newest BTVS spin-off (tentatively titled) "T&W: The Power of Two!" I have aspirations to have my own syndicated radio show-an "Open House Party" with John Garabedian: http://www.openhouseparty.com/ type deal. However, I have first got to get a radio station to hire me and give me the experience/training I need. I have, to date, sent at least 1000 e-resumes with "demo".wav(s) to the Program Directors of the USA. Um, I would say I am more suited to writing, even though I have a tendency to write 50 to 75 pages and find myself stuck in a lazy streak. I have 5 currently un-finished projects awaiting my attention to return. I, also, write poetry. I am rambling, but you still don't know the half of it. But, I'll direct you to some magnificent artwork: http://www.geocities.com/se_hammond/gallery.html http://www.fred.net/joellen/index.html http://joellen.artistnation.com/ the artist does pet portraits, the prints and other such merchindise is currently available for purchase.
In case your wondering, YES! I am IN-LOVE with MY soulmate, who is IN-LOVE with ME and we are going to spend eternity together.
I am sure there's something I've forgotten. Check all the current post.......because I've got some opinions/you can learn more about me(not much, but some).

Well, that's me in a nut-shell. (shammoond@broadcastmusic.com)

Peace, Love, and Happiness.

I've been neglecting this board for a couple days...work fault, not mine...WAH!

I'm a 28 yr old bisexual, s&m loving, pagan-type frolicking through the daisies with my relatively new Scottish yummy hubby.

I am an opera singer who occasionally has to temp to make ends meet and I love,love,love did I say love? LOVE W/T and all things in Buffyverse. Just when I think Joss has done something foolish aka Riley, he did something wonderful like make him goofy cowboy guy. You gotta love it.

My husband is not quite as addicted but he also gravitates toward being home on Tuesday nights between 8-10pm.

I am also owner of a beautiful lil shih tzu puppy named Angus who is four months old and bears a striking resemblence to Mr. Sunshine....though he's not available for dinner ;0

Favorite characters are Willow, Tara, Spike and Faith
Favorite color is purple
no nekkid pictures though i am the definition of too much cleavage ;/

I agree with Glenda. my favorite characters are Tara/Willow/and Faith. I like Spike's attitude, though. He just doesn't turn my crank.

Hi - I'm Jon the Wombat (or occasionally JonBat) - a nickname I appropriated from my girlfriend for use on the net when I finally got a computer at home (spent too much time in the Dark Ages) - I live in London (in the UK, not in Texas)and work as a bondbroker.
And I probably shouldnt be writing this during office hours.

On the Buffy thing, I was intrduced to it by an old friend during the first season (UK style, so late ) and I was instantly hooked. Even got cable installed to watch it - although the music vids didn't hurt
Am currently waiting for copies of the latest series to be mailed over, as the buggers arent showing it here till early next year (I CANNOT wait that long! )

Anyways, thats me,
Wom

I promise you you're not being snubbed, honest. People here are the least snubby I know.
This just isn't a good time to post. Most of the folks here are 8hrs behind the UK. Just chip in on what ever the relevent subject is at the time and everyone will gladly discuss with you.
BTW nice to have another UKer

Hi Tim, I like tigers too. I work at a toy store and we have the cutest stuffed tiger. She's realistic looking with her tongue sticking out and comes with a little cub. I have a tendency to pat her on the head every time I walk by. The tongue cracks me up.

Hello!

My real name is Marie-Lyne and I'm 18. I got my nick name because my friends always mistake me and one of my best friend, Marie-Eve. Lyny is also my witch name. I'm a french Canadian. I live in Longueuil, it's on the south shore of Montréal.

I'm second year college in Multimedia, but I'd like to be an actress, or a tv writer. I'm writing a novel right now called "Oreo cookies and a glass of wine".

I've watched only two epsisode of the first serie, Angel and Teacher's pet. I didn't even knew it was a tv show back then. I realy started watching when Angel went bad.

It's about all I have to say about me. I'm hoplessly devoted to my Boyfriend and my little kitty.

Ciao!

Hi, my name Teresa. I've been lurking on this board for quite some time. I love it. I finally found a place where people love Willow and Tara as much as I do.

I've been watching Buffy since season 1 (when it first starting airing on Sky 1 in the UK). When I moved back to the states in '98 I missed a big chunk of Season 2 and quite a few episodes of Season 3.

There really isn't that much to tell about me. I live in North Carolina currently, but hope to be moving within the next year or so *crossing fingers*. I'm a short order cook and I hope that is going to be changing here in about a year as well.

I really love this board and I look forward to hanging out and posting more.

Howdy Y'all,

Well, the enthusiasm is so catching 'round here that I just can't stay lurky anymore, so I thought I'd introduce myself.

My name is Cylinda, and I currently live in the beautiful state of Georgia, though I am originally from the great state of Texas.

I started watching Buffy in season 4, compelled to do so after reading the synopsis of every season 1-3 ep in the Entertainment Weekly viewers guide which came out before the start of season 4. Hurrah for EW!!

Ever since I saw "The Freshmen" I was hooked, and have spent more time than I care to admit getting caught up on seasons 1-3 and just basically submerging myself in all things Buffy.

I'm very pleased to have found this board, I love the w/t relationship (not to mention willow and tara themselves) and it's nice to be around others who feel the same.

That does it for me for now, I'll have to try to fight my lurking nature every now and then and try to contribute to some discussions (although as long-winded as I tend to be once I get started, that may not end up being a good thing)

Cylinda

[yawn...stretch...]

morning (er, afternoon) everyone...finally getting around to writing that intro...

so um, i'm april, 23, born on the cusp of leo/virgo, left handed (formerly ambidextrous), almost 5'6"...um...what else...

i currently live in brooklyn, NY, but originally hail from santa cruz, CA. (and imho w & t should be going to UC santa cruz, not UC sunnydale...UCSC's got quite the uh, "wiccan" scene, i hear...)

i went to brown university in providence, RI, from which i graduated with a degree in spanish in 1999.

i have two kitties fantasticos, and am currently borrowing a third from my housemate.

i work for a non-profit organization called LGIRTF - the Lesbian and Gay Immigration Rights Task Force. the org's website is http://www.lgirtf.org/ if anyone wants to know more.

i've been a very occasional buffy watcher for a couple of years now, due mostly to my hopeless crush on alyson hannigan (sigh...)
when i caught wind of the w/t buzz, i tuned in more frequently, and got hooked. they are *the* cutest couple on tv, bar none!

so i think that's it...hey, if there are any of you out there in the NYC area (and there *have* to be, right?), make yourselves known! we may be farthest from the studio where w/t magic gets made, but gosh darn it, the eps air here first!

nice to meet all of you, though...

I definitely agree with this. Our girls are showing granola, crunchy sensibilities. UCSC would be a great fit for them or they could also fit in at UC Berkely (gotta plug my Alma Mater).

Adding to the introduction 0

My name is Little Willow and I've been watching BtVS since day one. With my username based upon Willow, it's obvious who was my favorite character as soon as the series premiered back in 1997. I've been an avid fan ever since.

I'm female and I'm an actress stuck working in retail right now to save money to move to Los Angeles and pursue my career there. (I'm already on the West Coast and so close...but so far away.) I act, sing, dance, write (songs, screenplays, poems, plays, shows), direct and more. I enjoy reading, watching movies, listening to music - all things that encompass my personal passions. You've never seen me in anything national - yet - but luckily I have a few other pro credits to my name so far. I'm credited as co-writer for the lyrics to "Watching You," a song by Velvet Chain, I helped out with and was in their video for "Beyond Time," and I also help them out with promotion, etc etc. I'll trek down to LA every so often to work for them a week or two at a time. And I work for Christopher Golden, a novelist. You'll see more about that later.

I'm sharing another quick thing since we have many movie/theatre folks here: I fought tooth and nail last year to put on a play I wrote. Once I finally was granted the use of the theatre, the traumas continued. Let me tell you, we had to practice outside. In the cold. On the pavement. And here I was, directing, writing, acting, choreographing with a few folks flaking out (oh, it was lovely when one of the mains left about 2 weeks before opening night) and many people having egos the size of Sunnydale - but we got it done. Somehow, we got through it. And the performances of the show were one of the highlights of my life. One of the few moments where I saw my dreams come true. So don't you EVER let anyone tell you something can't be done. If you can dream it, you can do it. Follow your heart.

I have a website entitled Little Willow's Slayground website dedicated to the show BtVS and now spinoff Angel as well. The site branched out - some folks offered me jobs (Christopher Golden, author; Velvet Chain, band) - and now the Slayground includes various subsites which are comprehensive looks at people who work on the shows, be they actors, actresses, authors (the books/comics/companions), bands.

I run Amber's website http://www.amberbenson.net/ or, other way: http://www.efanguide.com/~amber called The Essence of Amber. I don't get paid for this whatsoever. I refuse. Amber has done so much for me as a friend and supporter that I can never repay her good deeds. In my life, I have not found many people have similar dreams, goals and desires as mine, and I am so lucky to have crossed paths with Amber. She makes darn sure I don't put myself down and I make darn sure she doesn't put herself down. It's much fun.

In any event, I don't have the best self esteem (which is just not the best thing to NOT have in this business where most people are out to promote themselves and here I am, saying, "I suck...") I'm entirely too busy, I do entirely too much, and I think entirely too much. But that's me.

Thanks for the welcome! I live in Marietta (NW Atlanta) and really love it here. So green and beautiful (even in this drought, it's still a lot greener than Texas.)

I love Savannah, it must be great to live close to the city and the coast. Such a beautiful, unique city.

Hello everyone....sorry I haven't been around for a while....I got myself a job!!

Ok introduction stuff.
My name is Amy and I live in Troy, Alabama. I'm originally from Sneads, FL...but I've been here for 6 years. I'm a student at Troy State University and will graduate in May of 2001. I have successfully crammed 4 years of school into 6. I am a buffyholic...but this is a recent addiction. I too am a slave to the Willtara storyline. I just got a job working in Electronics at WalMart...where I subject anyone who comes by to watching Buffy. I always bring a few eps to work with me and I play it through all of the TV's in the electronics dept. I play piano, trumpet, percussion...um...pretty much any brass instrument...and I also write music. I love to play softball and basketball. I live with my gf of 2.5 years and our cat (Tigger) and dog (Abby). I guess that's enough.
