It's Freedom! Tuesday Miss Kitty Fantastico

[xita]

I am free of this darn show!

I am so not watching and you know what the best part is, it doesn't even bother me. I am not even interested. It was a hard habit to kick but and I am sure i'll need support. But I am taking the show's advice and I am moving on.

I will never move away form w/t cause what they have is much bigger than what ME could have ever comprehended or appreciated. Willow and Tara forever!

What habits have you kicked? I would ask about w/t but we know what Willow had to give up Maybe Tara?

[Taz]

I had to give up cigars, my wife hates the taste of 'em. Most, recently I had to give up Buffy. ME sucks ass!!

[tommo]

I've tried so very hard to give up smoking time and time again. But hey, it makes me look cool and the hard kids always talk to me in the playground when I'm sporting a cig.

On a more serious note; I've had to give up something really important to me on several occasions. And it's so hard to do, but I have to believe that there's something better in the future. Thank God Joss doesn't write my life, that's all I'm saying...

And yes, Xita. I too feel free of this show. Used to be that when Friday came around I wouldn't answer the phone; I'd cook early enough so that I could eat at 8pm with a bottle of wine and several choice cigarettes to follow. It used to be a nice end of the week thing that I'd enjoy.

I don't care anymore. I'm honestly not that arsed if I ever see new episodes of the show again. Instead I choose to immerse myself in Willow and Tara stuff for as long as I choose.

[kpmuse]

Oh! Willow and Tara Love! What an awesome and beautiful sig Xita!

Me too. Giving up Buffy was hard at first. I didn't watch last week, but this week is soooooooooo much easier. I've had all these months to get used to losing Willow and Tara on the weekly show. I am tired now, I am still bitter, I am sad that I no longer have my favorite show, and I do feel closure.

Thank God, Xita, all the Mods, and all Kittens for our wonderful community who will always celebrate our girls! They are ours now!

I gave up smoking after 20 years and I am smoke free for 3 1/2 now. That was the hardest habit to break. But quite frankly, I don't even think of it anymore. Some day I will look back on Buffy, ME, Joss Whedon, Marti, etc. and think the same. Moving on here!

Willow and Tara love forever!
Peace and love to all kittens!

Two Words: Twenty Four

That's what I'll be watching instead of Buffy's Exciting Conclusion(tm) tonight.

As for bad habits: Well, smoking is the obvious choice, although I was never that bad.

Yeah, so we know Willow had to give up men (darn denial-ending soulmate)...er...magic too ... and happiness... er ... what were you implying, xita?

Tara probably had to give up cursing people so they don't see demons. People hate that.

[tommo]

Willow had to give up playing on her computer so much. Cuz you know...hands can be occupied in other ways.

[xita]

I was thinking of Magic for Willow. The obvious. but I'll take more creative answers

[VampNo12]

Yes I too am glad to be free of this show although, I am still debating if I will watch the season finale to attain proper closure. For me Buffy is a sinking ship and I don't have any interest in being aboard the Titanic. Sorry Marti but I feel the need to move on to less destructive/depressing shows.

As for me I am trying to give-up junk food in an attempt to diet. The stress of this season has done nothing good for my weight, and its time to diet/exercise.

For Willow I agree she had to give-up late sessions on the net. Tara gave her the choice of cuddling a computer screen or her, and we know who won out! I have no idea what Tara gave up, but maybe Miss kitty because she just vanished. I see Dawn being allergic to the cat and Tara being a good "mommy" putting Dawn first.

[BytrSuite]

The only habit I can recall having to break was using the phrase 'on crack' as an excuse for asinine behavior around my house, years ago, when I was growing up. We said it for everything. My aunt used to be a crackwhore, but she finally quit. So I just didn't feel all that comfortable using it that casually anymore. Even when she didn't really quit, but claimed she had. Heh. That kind of thing just seems to stick with ya. Who'da thought, huh? lol

Online is different though, as the monsters at ME smoke all kinds of crack.

Hmm, I still have the rest of my bad habits, I think. Biting my nails, procrastinating, staying up way later than I really should. Hee, I'm just [i:d0d171aa6f] such[/i:d0d171aa6f] a rebel.

Being in overly sappy mode, I just can't bring myself to think of anything Willow or Tara should have to give up. They have each other and they can make it through anything because they have true love. So, if one of them is bugging the other, they'll just work it out.

[Tara Maclay]

I'm sorry to here that everyone. I 'm in the missle on this one.
True, I haen't really agreed with everything this season. And I'm sittitng in in wonder of what is going to happen with everything.

Having seen 'Angel' just now, and am still trying to figure how their going to fix this. I've also been reading a lot on 'WillTara' frm someone who is spouting off that thes are 'Just TV Shows' for Goddess sake. And have gotten into a lot of fights with a friend of mine who doesn't like the way the Willow part has gotten. Specigically the 'Majic Addict' angle.

However, I've been watching since 'The Movie'. true I haven't liked some of the things that have gone on lately. And the Killing off Tara thing was a rather dumb thing. Considering that if she wasnted to leave, there are othere ways. (Oz, Rile, Faith ) But i've truely enjoy the Series as a whole. I just can't give it up on one principle.

I do hope that everyone who stops watching Buffy becuase of this will find happiness in whatever they go to for here. I've meet a lot of good people here and wish everyone the best.

My hope is the Xita and the other Mods of this board do not give up the board as a whole. It would be a great loss to the BTVsS remaining fanbase to lose such a great place for opinion, rants and especially the way awesome fanfiction that is kept here.

Good luck Kitties.

[Thanatopsis]

Yep Buffy free for um, well, technically not very long, but this week or rather tonight is all about Gilmore Girls. A light, funny family drama that doesn't suck like 7th Heaven. I actually have given up quitting smoking because my trying to quit was becoming an absurd farce. The stupid, invincible kid in me doesn't want to quit yet, so I haven't. I'm sure that'll change in the future. Just have to wait and see.

[mollyig]

Thanks to the title of this thread I've been singing Rage Against The Machine's song "freedom" (in my head fortunately for my co-workers), which really suits my mood.

I was annoyed with Sky for dragging the finale out over two weeks - now, after reading the wildfeed, I couldn't be bothered.

If you are a Willow and Tara fan then *that* has got to be the understatement of the millenium.

I was a fan of the show before Hush, then I became a WillowTara fan above all else, but even if I had not, then to me this piss poor excuse of a story would still smell like the shit it is and I would no longer subject myself to it's stench. Ah and that 'one principle' happens to be Willow and Tara, the reason this board was created.

I certainly was not planning on giving up on this board or Willow and Tara, and you have just received my personal rant to prove it.

Everybody is more than welcome to watch the show, I really do not care, why would I, but on this board I would like to get a feeling that the death of Tara and the destruction of Willow actually affects the person who posts here. If all you can muster is some mild intellectual dislike, then I really don't think I want to read it. Make no mistake, this board is not here for the remaining BtVS fanbase, it is here for those who *love* Willow and Tara first and foremost.

And yay, I am free as well. Almost. Free from wasting time on the travesty this show has become, free to read the great fics on the Pens and enjoying what I love most: Willow and Tara.

*editing: Oh I have tried to give up ranting and hissing, I am making wonderful progress don't ya think?

[girlwiththebraids]

well, i tried to kick my caffeine habit once...and i've cut back considerably, though not completely. and i've also cut back on my overuse of over the counter painkillers (but i also stopped playing sports, which was the main use of them). but anything i'm really free of? well, my high school identity is the one i'm working on right now...five years later...i'm spreading my wings in this backward little town to try and break that mold...since i'm NOT that person anymore...

ps...i'll be watching buffy tonight, but i'll also be taping the finale of smallville...i'm guessing smallville will be a more satisfying experience

[tyche]

I've tried to give up reading other Buffy posting boards since they're too bad for my blood pressure and stress levels.
Ooh, little vaguely on-topic snippet: according to the new issue of 'Heat' magazine, Eliza had the role of Spiderman's girlfriend in a test reel that Sam Raimi showed to studio suits to persuade them to cast Tobey Maguire. Too bad she lost out to Kristen Dunst for the actual movie.
Anyway, kitties, hope you have a good day. And if you're watching the finale, have a lot of vodka or something to ease the pain...

[ninjitsugrrl]

I never give up my bad habits... I enjoy them all far too much!
As for tonight's finale, yes I will be watching. I am used to the let down because this season seems to have been full of sucky finales on my show. X-Files, Angel, Buffy, Friends... need I go on? I am hoping that the Judging Amy finale will be decent tonight. It is pretty much the only one I have left after Buffy.

[Scout]

At first it was really hard to turn off Seeing Red after Tara turned and smiled. I sat there thinking, okay, what did I just do? And then the following week I thought, okay, Buffys actually on and Im not watching it how weird is this? But this week its been much easier and I suspect after a summer of getting used to the idea that Buffy is done in my house, S7 wont be much of a temptation for me. The series had to end sometime for me it just ended a year earlier.

Aside from Buffy, Ive given up caffeine and Ive been eating better and working out more over the last year. Ive had my ups and downs, but both have gone pretty well.

As for the girls, Willow gave up werewolves, magick, and Tara-smile. Fortunately, she got Tara-smile back. And Tara gave up Willow-hand, but she got that back, too. Not all addictions are bad.

Have a great day everyone!

[Grimaldi]

I've given up watching Buffy (rather watch Farscape, 24, play the Sims and Age of Empires). Gave up smoking, but never was really that bad with it.

[La]

I'm still too much in love with Willow (though I'm not so much liking the DMW, we'll see after the finale how I'm feeling) and Aly to stop watching Buffy for now...

Things I've given up ... using "random" every other word -- "I was talking to this random person the other day and she asked me this random question and it was totally random but I felt like she had randomly chosen me ..." ; biting my nails; playing with my earrings so much that I kept loosing the backings and irritating the piercings; sleeping with a stuffed bear named George that my ex gave me -- that was hard

Have pleasant (buffyless, if you're so inclined) Tuesdays, everyone!

[Warduke]

Well I am done with BtVS and let me tell you...it feels gooooood!

W/T will live on forever here, and I will get my W/T "fix" in Pens, we'll keep talking about them and about A&A but as far as the show goes...I couldn't care less.

[TrueXena]

I still smoke, I still drink soda and coffee, I still stay up way past a normal person's bed time. So I guess I havent given anything up really. I'm such a weak person.

Oh wait! I did give up trying to find quality W/T fic OFF of Pens. I now only go to Pens for my fic 'fix'.

[Puff]

Well hummm I will be watching tonight, maybe I can compare the season finale to the crap they called Angels' finale last night. Oh and on another pissed off note. Does anyone know where I can download Aly on Kilborn from last night?

[Kalita]

I'm feeling doubly free at the moment; I've cast off this travesty of a television program, and I've received some good news on the personal side of things (regarding icky stressful financial stuff). So, good morning all around.

And it's sunny and warming up and fresh and springlike. Aaahhh... I may just havea bike ride later. Yeah.

[hellmouthhottie20]

i had to give up on the hope that joss would wake up and smell the support for willow and tara.

On a more personal note, The most major thing i had to give up (and i have come a long way in being able to say it) is unfortunatly drugs, for 5 years i was addicted to certain prescriptiuon drugs and kicking the habit was hell, but through it all i had my buffy box sets and i watched them over and over again and the tara and willow story line gave me such hope that maybe one day i would find that missing something in my life that i had tried to, unsucsessfully fill with drugs.
I just wanted to say, it took me a long time to say that iam not a bad person and it was cercumstances that led me down the dark path, to anybody else who has been through the same thing, have hope, its a long journey but it can be done.

P.s i have been clean now for 2 years (yey)

Caz.

[mellowstrung]

yes, it is a lovely and...well, free kinda day. i am completely spoiler free, but i just read my entertainment weekly (i don't think this is really spoilery - as this is all they say, well besides that ME has taken a lot of crap for the um 'suckyness' of the season) but they said in the finale of buffy, a major character returns. i don't know how i'm suppose to take that. i reread it twice just to make sure i was getting it right. they didn't say a minor character returns. so, who is this mysterious major character?

[friskylez]

Hmmmm as ive said before i practiced some "tough love" in letting my soulmate go...Im an alcoholic who was getting sober at the time and she was/is a drug addict who didnt want to quit...A match made in heaven not so much....Ive been happily sober for 12 years now and ive always wondered how my ex was doing and if she ever kicked the habit...

I believe that we can love alot of different people in our lives on all kinds of levels, but i think we fall in love, that head over heels, youre the only one for me, there is no one else like you out there for me, once...She was my love like that, but i will never regret doing what i did...Id be dead or in jail now if i hadnt done it and thats the plain and simple truth..

[tyche]

Puff, Aly wasn't on Kilborn last night, see the 'Aly on TV' thread for more.
(And how sad is it that I'm in the UK and I've never even SEEN this chatshow, but I know this?)

[mollyig]

You're not sad [b:4fb2072513]tyche[/b:4fb2072513] just dedicated!

[AlexisMQ]

Yep - freedom is good. I am working tonight instead of watching the finale.

You think that I would learn my lesson after what they did to my other ship. I was a die hard Buffy/Angel fan and ME killed that. Then they gave us Willow and Tara and I was again captivated by this pure love. It was a beautiful thing to watch. Then the bastards take away all that was good on the show and to add insult to injury they give Spike a soul?!?!?!?! I won't even mention Angel and glow worm Cordy and their "love" for each other. *sigh*

Methinks that Tuesday shall be my new night out for dinner. Maybe I will watch 24 next year. I still have time to decide that or not.

As for giving things up - fast food and I haven't really suceeded at it. I am eating a lot healthier though and loosing weight just gotta give up on the junk food I still eat.

It is a horrible cold and rainy day here in Oregon. I thought it was almost June? At least in four more days I get to go and visit with the mom and sister and nephew (for his 1st birthday!!!!) for two weeks. Have a good day kitties.

[Puff]

Thanks Tyche I saw the thread after I posted but was too caught up in Sasses new update to edit it
