It's Freedom! Tuesday Miss Kitty Fantastico

[Sassette]

LOL ... Hi, Puff! *G*

I want to point out that poor MKF had to give up catnip - she has a catnip problem.

As for giving up things myself - I have now given up writing AD ... because the blasted thing is finally done. And now I'm feeling all sad because writing AD has been a BIG part of my free time since TR aired, yet elated because, y'know, it's done. *G*

But we can't not mention smoking, which I have failed to give up - and will >continue< to fail to give up - because I have no reason to other than the fact those suckers are gonna' kill me. But y'know? If I quit smoking because of my health, it's only a small logical step towards eating right and exercising, and nobody wants that.

*sigh*
well I certainly won't be giving up on W/T goodness.

And I hate to say it but, I'm going to give S7 a shot in the delusional hope that Tara will be back, but.....................

Things I have given up..dope, mescalin [that was hard] too much alchohol.
things I need to give up...Coke [Cola, not the other sort ] snacking.

Things I should try and avoid, but are part of who I am .... melancholia, being too touchy-feely with ladies I hardly know [I just love [b:0a9f4579b5] all [/b:0a9f4579b5] women]. being lazy and somewhat hedonistic....I could go on, but won't, just to spare you all

Things I will never give up...... being in love with Amber Benson,W/T, Aly, the Kitten Board [Hurrah!], Guiness, Ruth's smutfic...........

[WiccansIllusion]

Something I had to give up:

Xena. I was a Xena fan from episode 2, and they ruined the show, where even watching the reruns on oxygen make me cry, so I stopped all together ( except for buying the Fin dvd)

But I hope to God Joss has some common sense not to end a series like that, where no one can watch reruns, but then again, he did kill Tara, so probably not..

Mods, there seem to be spoilers in this thread. If anyone still cares!

I usually don't give up on anything but BTVS has hurt me and I can never feel the same way about it again. I'm still W/T to the core of course!

I seem to be addicted to girls, girls, girls. But something tells me I ain't giving them up.

I'm not doing very well with this whole topic am I?

[Elianna]

I managed to give up on Enterprise, after the second episode. Left me free to watch Dawson's with my housemate. (not too sure that's a trade up.)

I have a wishlist of things that I wish I were free from: junkfood, tv, emotional rollercoasters.

And I'm still not free on Tuesday evenings, because I will be watching Gilmore Girls now. I used to watch it when they aired repeats on Thursdays, and it really is a good show.

[jdcioffi]

When I was realyl little, I used to suck my thumb. That's really all. I never smoked ... or anything like that. So ... I guess that's one habit.

Oh, I barely cuss anymore ...

Uh ... why did I post again?

JD

[WonderAnt]

me? kick a 'bad' habit? why would i want to do that? im addicted to 3 things really, 'the drink'(as my mum calls it), buffy(yes, i WILL be watchin next season...even if i am the only one) and the rocky horror picture show. not a chance i am giving up any of those...

well im addicted to a 4th thing as well, but *ahem* you know what i mean...

[tommo]

I think I should probably give up writing smutfic. But I can't...sooo hard...

[Rally]

Hmmm hmmm, sure Ruth... I believe you.

[BBOvenGuy]

Yay! Season finale tonight! I can't wait! I've seen the ads, and I've just got to find out how Clark stops that big tornado!

Yes, I'll be watching the WB's lineup of [i:4e74f9fafe] Gilmore Girls[/i:4e74f9fafe] and [i:4e74f9fafe] Smallville[/i:4e74f9fafe] tonight. I've made two previous attempts at [i:4e74f9fafe] Smallville[/i:4e74f9fafe] without it really impressing me, but maybe the third time will be the charm.

I'm having a much better day today. Yesterday was full of so much wildfeed awfulness that I didn't even get any writing done. Today is much much better.

Because of the problems my stomach has had over the past six years, I've had to give up a lot of my favorite foods. No more beef, no more pizza, no more french fries. Thank heavens I've discovered soybean-based imitation ice cream and baked potato chips, though. I've got to satisfy my junk food fix somehow...

Have a great day, everybody! Enjoy tonight's TV, whatever you're watching.

[b:57b0b7fe8f] Mollyig[/b:57b0b7fe8f] I too was hacked off about Sky drawing out the fnale but now, well, now I just can't be fagged with the whole thing.
And yeah, it's kind of liberating. Living Buffy free - gonna be tough but it's better than the alternative.
One thing I can't give up - football.
England drew 1-1 with South Korea today in their penultimate match before the World Cup.
Nine days to go and counting.
Not a great result, but Darius Vassell played the entire game - he plays for Aston Villa, which is my team, so he gets to be my favourite England man.
You can't beat a World Cup summer!

[tommo]

You can't beat a World Cup summer, although you'd like to. With a big stick.

And I like Smallville. I'll be watching tonight. It's generally easy on the eye and doesn't take a great deal of concentration. I've given up getting involved in tv shows now.

[nora]

I know what you mean. I'm sticking to the Discovery Channel. Series TV is a crock of shit, as I suppose we've all found out...
-Nora

edited to add: oh yeah, what I'm giving up... Buffy, obviously. And speaking English. I'm going to volunteer in Guatemala, so I need to get my Spanish back up to speed...

[BoredNow99]

[b:153f86a4d3] Ruth[/b:153f86a4d3], please leave the stick beating to the English hooligans who will soon be invading poor Korea and Japan. They're professionals.

[La]

For once I'm actually in the country where a big sporting event is taking place. I've always seemed to miss it somehow. When the World Cup was in the US, I was in Germany. When the Olympics were in Atlanta, I was in Germany. When the World Cup was in France, I was in Germany. When the Olympics were in Utah, I was in Korea. Now the World Cup is here! and I'm here! and at the same time even! After being here for more than 10 months, it's going to be interesting to see what sort of changes the World Cup brings. Luckily I'm not in a World Cup game city, because they're raising cab prices for the duration of the the games, and I take cabs a lot (cheap and convenient). I hope the US ends up playing Korea. When I was in Germany for the World Cup, a big deal was made of the US/Germany game (which Germany won, probably a good thing) and there was a big huge screen set up in the main square of the town I was in (Muenster). World Cup should be fun.

Yep, I'm with the 'I'm never watching Buffy again gang' I'm used to the idea now, when I first made the decision I was really upset, but now I couldn't care less. I'm still going to watch the previous seasons and certain bits of this one, there's no way I'm losing my Willow and Tara fix

I'll never give up on Willow and Tara, Joss has lost them to us now, he gave up all rights to them when he murdered Tara so he can get stuffed.

On to the question, I tried for years to give up cigarettes, which I have finally done, I still miss them though, but my girlfriend would kill me if I started again so I guess I'll just have to keep following smokers about and breathing in their cast off air

[Sheridan]

Freedom it should feel so good, and yet I'm not sure what to do with it, I think what I need to give up is my life here in the UK, it feels like time to leave. Since everyone here is being so honest, I am prone to bouts of depression andIi've come to the conclusion its time to get out of this place, cut my ties and go elsewhere, basically that being so invested in aTV show that it actually hurts when they kill a character is not a good thing....

[SisterDebMac]

I gave up trying to reason with my roommate. Does that count?

[xita]

I closed the Spoiler forum. I brought over some threads that I thought were of interest. The spoiler forum is now archived.

I closed some threads that seemed irrelevant without any w/t spoilers.

I did make a chat thread for people to talk with their friends and find support.

I will hopefully be able to make some changes to the faq in the next couple of weeks as we rethink policy.

It's a brand new day kitties!

[tommo]

Thank God I gave up watching Buffy when I did. It seems that [b:e73fcd2fd6] someone's[/b:e73fcd2fd6] girlfriend has taken quite a fancy to Anya. She must be stopped.

[Bagheera]

Maybe its time to give up TV altogether. Maybe I'll get me a life

Sheridan said: "...being so invested in a TV show that it actually hurts when they kill a character is not a good thing...."

What you said. T/W love is a wonderful thing, but now it's time to find that love in ourselves and those around us. Guess I'll be giving my kids an extra hug tonite.

[areslei]

I am beginning to agree that television is overrated. You can't trust it. So now that there's nothing left for me there....it's time for a concert hootnanny. Concerts have music, music leads to dancing, and dancing makes for the happy, eh? Indigo Girls songs remind me of W/T. Maybe follow them around. They write their own stuff. So I know that one of them won't die and go all black magicy. And this brings me closer to fine.....

Wow, technology has come a long way hasn't it?

[Aduka]

I wasn't going to watch Buffy tonight but the computer is in the office(home kind) and so is the tv, sooo Im not really watching it just glancing up every now and than and thinking "what illegal subsetence was Joss and co on when they wrote this ep???"

Anyways its no more Buffy for me but I will remain loyal to W/T as they where, after all they've been an important part of my life.

Hmm Ive managed to cut waay back on Dr.Pepper consumption, which means no more jittery feelings.

[areslei]

I guess this means I'm taking a trip to the dollar store tomorrow to stock up on cheesy markers. Hmmmm....whodathunkit!? And yet we were able to fly to the moon.

[Sela]

I think I'm gonna start watching Spanish soap operas again. They end after about three to nine months and then you move on. No long term investment, no headaches or ulcers. Just total brain candy.

Bye-bye Buffy!

--Sela

[xita]

I love that people can bring down corporations. The mighty aren't as mighty as they think, hear that ME?


I am editing to add, I did it! For the first time in over 3 years, i missed a buffy on tv. I have been watching since Bad Girls every Tuesday, and i didn't watch it and I don't regret it.

[urnofosiris]

I am so glad the spoiler forum is gone now. It was so difficult to be there and not give into all the anger I am feeling, and I obviously failed on many an occasion despite my efforts. As it is it sucked up so much of my time, time that is far better spend enjoying what matters to me most, my friends and Willow and Tara.

Joss can keep his show and his selfrighteous attitude. I will take Willow and Tara, no disclaimers.

[xita]

I am sorry, i have had it. I just want to close this board, leave pens open and that's it. Betrayal is deeper now than I have ever felt. Knowing Joss is doing this just to prove a point, look i can kill gays. It's just.. to much. I ache for Tara... who paid to prove a point and for gay people who have no where to turn in society and cause no one gets it. Cause it feels so alone here in our corner of the world...

I am glad everyone thinks it's so great, what balls Joss showed. I can't bear a word about this show anymore.. god help me i can't.

what hope is there in this world that things can ever be ok.

[bgfilly]

someone needs to kick this guys ass a lil bit
