Welcome to this week’s very special-double Hot Seat! And the second of this week’s guests is the very lovely, Justhad. Hadley, Hadley, Hadley… where do I even start with her? One of the kindest, sweetest, prettiest, funniest, mature and smart girls I know! I just love her to pieces. And judging by the recent Hadley appreciation thread, I know you all do too I guess she’s most memorable for her organisation of the Seasonal Swaps, Ask Hadley! Threads and being a moderator, however, she’s more than that. She’s one of the most genuine people on this forum who plays an active part in the board’s life. She’s always up for a chat and always willing to help people. Her radiance and warmth is just so infectious – that is what makes it so brilliant to have her on this forum! I hope you all enjoy and embrace this chance to get to know her even better, and to experience some of her undoubtedly kind and thoughtful answers. (Gosh, she sounds a lot like Jasmine from Angel, doesn’t she? Minus the human-eating of course ). Okay, I won’t embarrass Hadley anymore Bring on the questions, guys! Enjoy! ;D ------------------------------------------------------ 1) What's your favourite SMG movie? 2) How would you describe your personality? 3) Lilah or Lindsey? 4) Do you have any special talents? 5) Do you have a lot of people in your life that you can trust? 6) Who is your favorite author? 7) What do you think of all the stuff written about Sarah, that says she was difficult to work with and that she was a bitch to other cast members ect. 8) Do you keep a Diary/Journal? 9) On a rating of 1-10, how cringe-worthy was my cheesy introduction?

Woo! Hadley in the Hot Seat! Okay, here goes: Do you ever feel the urge to rebel against this image everyone has of you being "nice" (not that you aren't, but I worry sometimes you might get bored of it)? What's the prettiest hairstyle on SMG in your opinion If Joss had decided to put Xander and Buffy together as a couple, but you were the one to write their arc, when would it happen, and how would things go? Do you have any philosophies? Who do you see as inspirational figures? Are you religious? And if so, what are the greatest things you get from your faith? Did you enjoy getting your "AA attitude" on? What is your favourite season of BtVS? What's your least favourite? Are there any plot developments on either show that you wish hadn't happened? How did you feel about the removal of Cordelia from the Angel cast in season 5? Good or bad move? Favourite Cordy outfit? Which of SMG's outfits, from any of her roles and public appearances, would you most love to have your own version of to wear? Ok, stopping for now, but don't think I won't be back with more, missy!

1) What's your favourite SMG movie? My favorite movie ever is "Simply Irresistible" which stars SMG as Amanda Shelton - followed by that, is definetly "Cruel Intentions." I think I've seen ever SMG movie - at least that's available. I go through these periods of time where I need to see every movie an actor has done. "Simply Irresistible" I've seen at least 30 times and I love it - it never gets old 2) How would you describe your personality? I've never energetic most of the time, and get very obsessive compulsive when it comes to school, work and organizing. I'm really a happy person who keeps most of her issues hidden. I wear my love for "Buffy" practically on my sleeve at school, to the point where it's probably the most known thing about me.. I pride myself on being the best friend I can to all of my friends, which can be both good and bad at times. Wow! This is a tough one. I'm a huge fan of Christian Kane, and I even wrote to him and he sent back some of the cards autographed and one even personalized! (So I love him even more!) My favorite Lindsey episode is "Dead End." I also really have always liked the character of Lilah, and enjoyed her and Wesley's relationship... so.. I guess I'll go with Lindsey for now 4) Do you have any special talents? Not many... I can wiggle my ears... which isn't too great.. and have been told I dance a lot like Britney Spears back when she was still sane.. so that's about it! 5) Do you have a lot of people in your life that you can trust? Another hard question! I've definetly had points in my life where I've trusted people too much, and I am very trusting, because I try not to believe that there's so much evil in the world. I've definetly had problems when it comes to guys, I'll be the first to get emotionally attached and get my heartbroken. I trusted one who was also my friend, and he did some bad stuff including spread an untrue rumor about me telling on some party I never even knew about.. (high school trivial things seem so big to some people..) Other than that, I do go through my share of bad friends.. My aunt Elisabeth, my mother, brother, father,best friend Lora, and my current boyfriend (of a year today!) are people I can trust and people I know that will always be with me. 6) Who is your favorite author? I love to read.. which Rich knows Classic-wise, I've got to say George Orwell and F. Scott Fitzgerald because "1984" and "The Great Gatsby" are in my top five favorite books list. I love their characters and plots - dystopian science fiction and tortured romance are two of my favorite types of books. I also liked Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" but hated "The Da Vinci Code." I also love Thomas Harris's novels around Hannibal Lector - he's probably my favorite book character ever. 7) What do you think of all the stuff written about Sarah, that says she was difficult to work with and that she was a bitch to other cast members ect. I hate to say it, but I believe some of it's true. I remember reading somewhere that she hated "Simply Irresistible" and regreted doing it, and to me she was wonderful. I love "Buffy" but I'd be afraid to meet Sarah. My parents would never let me meet the Spice Girls when I was longer for fear that I'd stop loving them because I found out what they're really like. I think Sarah seems like a great person, but I'm so afraid to meet her on a bad day and get all my thoughts of how she's really like crushed. To me she is an amazing role model and I have looked up to her for the majority of my lifetime. I can accept that she may be hard to work with (I've dealt with plenty of those actors in my theatre department at school) and it is refreshing to find a nice humble soul in there. So until I hear it from her, my jury will continue to believe she's as wonderful as her character, but not forget what I've heard. 8) Do you keep a Diary/Journal? I used to, but I kept having those Harriet the Spy moments where people would find my diaries and it would not be good... So instead, if I have a good story, I'll write it down or take pictures to remember the moments! 9) On a rating of 1-10, how cringe-worthy was my cheesy introduction? 1! (with 10 being the cheesiest) It was not cheesy at all!! It was so sweet! Everyone's been so nice lately and you all have been totally making my days!! Thank you to all of you!!

Do you know much about The Netherlands? Actually, yes! And I hope to learn even more!! It's an area I've always wanted to visit - and I cannot believe the amount of culture there! I had a friend from Finland (neighbor to the North) and she was always so much fun and had great stories of Europe. I'm so envious of people living in other countries because I love history and it's one of my dreams to travel around the world! What's your favorite food? Probably... pizza or teriyaki chicken! I love other countries' foods.. all the 'stereotypical' stuff like quesedillas, crab rangoon, rice!, miso soup, pastas, chicken dishes.. etc.. So I love going to non-American themed restaurants and trying new things! There's a cute little Japanese restaurant here that I love to go to, and a French pastry shop that makes delicious Chocolate Eclairs! J'aimes le eclairs! What's your favorite colour? Pink! Definetly! Since I can remember I've always loved pink! I work in a very pink store and the majority of my clothes are pink. I can really relate to Elle Woods (from Legally Blonde) and some of my teachers have said that someday I'd end up with some highranking job in the FBI or as a lawyer and still wearing cute pink outfits with matching heels. Chocolate! I'm a huge fan of chocolate ice cream, chocolate chips, etc... I love Vanilla when mixed with different toppings... but chocolate still wins by a landslide! Apples! I've never really been a fan on bananas, except in smoothies! Do you collect anything apart from Merchandise? (like pens or buttons or whatever) Don't all kill me.. but I have a small Britney Spears doll collection. I really love them.. and they're cute and smiley! I also collected autographs for awhile when I used to write to celebrities as a child - my first was from David Boreanaz when I sent him a love note in fifth grade! Other than that - I own over 500 cds and at least 500 books, so I consider them my collections as well as my hobbies - other than that - lots of Buffy stuff! Favorite celeb couple? (non BTVS related) It was Jennifer Garner and Scott Foley for awhile, then Jen and Michael Vartan, but since dropping those two guys.. I've not been as happy with Jen... I love Gwen and Gavin Rossdale, Milo Ventimigila and Alexis Bledel, and Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker. Do you wanna have kids when you're older? For so long I didn't.. I pretty much swore against it, but probably, yes, I'd like to... not in the next few years - but after I'm married and figured out what I want to do with my life. Who's your favorite Dutch forum member.. ? Why Sammie of course!! I'm not lying either - I love your posts and banners and have enjoyed getting to know you even more on the tag board

Do you ever feel the urge to rebel against this image everyone has of you being "nice" (not that you aren't, but I worry sometimes you might get bored of it)? I think what I like about this board so much is the ability to think before I speak. Sometimes if I'm compelled to get in an argument with someone, I'll say something I wouldn't normally or something I don't mean. Lately, with a lot of friend issues, I've learned not seek people out and start arguments, I've been good about not saying anything and creating more confrontation. The person who I am here, is the person I feel like I am. I'm normal and have good/bad days and days where I'm not feeling all too nice, but I try and work through them. Funny thing is, when I think I want to try and be mean or get some confidence to confront someone, I like to dress in my "Cruel Intentions-esque" outfits with the suit jacket and short dress, but I usually just end up being me and not creating any issues... I just look like SMG at the end of the day.. I'm not bored being nice, because I love being here and I like being around respectful people who treat you, most of the time, with the same respect.
I do try, at times, to step in during an argument if I feel strongly about something, like what happened with tommy <3. If there is a forum-wide argument, I try and collect my thoughts and then state how I feel. I don't like to gang up on people or take sides. What I say to people is what I really think and I feel like they are seeing the real me. What's the prettiest hairstyle on SMG in your opinion? SMG as a brunette of course!! Second to that would be her Season 1 hair, it's so dark yet so very 80s-esque!! When she gets into her S5 and on hair, I feel like it seems more fake and redone for every scene, while in the earlier seasons she had hair that people could copy! I personally had my hair cuit like she had in early season 4, promo for S2, and "Gone" to name a few... If Joss had decided to put Xander and Buffy together as a couple, but you were the one to write their arc, when would it happen, and how would things go? Sigh... Buffy and Xander... I can dream!!
If I could have done anything, I would have had them together in the first season, and her maybe even realizing how she felt for him, but I'm also a B/A shipper and loved them together so this is very hard! I could have seen them together in S7 and past then. There's a great photo of the two of them holding hands in "Chosen" which I just love. They were so close at that point and so grown up. In numerous fanfics I have them together, so it's just something I could see happening. Once Angel left he kind of delved into a new persona and show, etc.. I could have seen him ending up with Cordelia too.
"The Pack" is my favorite Xander/Buffy ep and somedays I wish he could have been deliciously evil for just one more episode... Do you have any philosophies? Well, I do believe that the world would be a better place if everyone were just a little nicer to each other. Kindness is really rare in these days and times, that and the truth. Honesty is really the best policy, especially in my book. And just like Aristotle and his Golden Rule - you should treat others as you wish to be treated - which I don't think gets used as often as it could. I see more cheaters and mean people getting rewarded some times... so my other cheesy-cliche philosophy of.. "what goes around comes around" I hope someday happens.
I've got numerous theories on philosophers, the earth, celeb marriages, etc.. if you ever want a REALLY long entry! Who do you see as inspirational figures? I've got a few. Not in any particular order, but... Bono is one of them, especially for all he does with Africa and world hunger. I truly admire what he does and enjoy hearing his thoughts on things and reading about what he does. He is both a religious and caring man, and never seems to take sides politically. For me, that would be hard, and he just continues to work at what he wants to happen for these people.
Audrey Hepburn, because she represented style and class. She not only could act and sing, but later in life volunteered for many organizations. I love her and her movies, and could not imagine never seeing "Breakfast at Tiffanys."
My mom and aunt - they both went through so much as children losing a parent, having one remarry, losing another parent, and having an even bigger family now. They're both amazingly strong people and do not falter at things I would go crazy over them. They deal with loss and hardship well, and they're both strong women who've done so much. My mom started her own business and my aunt now gives radiation therapy to adults and children, which is a job I could never do.
Maria West - (Girl Power) - because I'd love to be able to help people and do everything I've always wanted to do in my life, travel, write books, etc... I just think she's amazing!
Are you religious? And if so, what are the greatest things you get from your faith?
I'm Episcopalian (Christian) and have always really enjoy religion. I love it when I can go pick up the book and do different kinds of research, instead of it being thrust in my face. I do, at times, pray, but I know that there is a higher power, but it could be in so many forms. I love learning about other religions, and I really appreciate all the different aspects. I hope to take a World Religions class sometime in college. The Wiccan, Buddist, and Hindi religions really strike me the most as being great studies.
My faith, which I wish I had more time for, has really given me some inner strength, believing that there is a plan (I'm a huge advocate of fate-) and that someone is watching over me.
I have other views on different controversial topics, and will of course share if someone wants to know, but if not, that's fine too! Did you enjoy getting your "AA attitude" on? I **LOVED** it! I never get the chance to be the really grrrrry person, and I got to. AA is referring to a response I made to a forum member who insulted me awhile back. I enjoy channeling James for the day! What is your favourite season of BtVS? Season 3. I loved Buffy's senior year and S3 has all my favorite episodes in it. After that, S1 because, have you *seen* "The Pack?" I love their wardrobe in that season - so cute and vintagey! What's your least favourite? Again, don't hate me.. Season 6... I just didn't like how everyone was always in a perpetual bad mood. So many of those episodes broke my heart.. I cried when Tara died and when Xander left Anya... Joss and crew just kept the kleenex company in business with me...Are there any plot developments on either show that you wish hadn't happened? Buffy and Spike.. I'm sorry. It was very attractive and fun for awhile.. but then she started to hate herself. I wasn't a big fan of Kennedy - I always wanted Willow with Tara. Most of it was relationship stuff.. other than that.. I believed most things happened for a reason. How did you feel about the removal of Cordelia from the Angel cast in season 5? Good or bad move? You know how much I loved Cordelia! I would have LOVED to have her back! Charisma is gorgeous and her and David has amazing sexual tension! I thought it was not the best move they made, and would have loved to have seen her back. [/b][/quote] Anything in Season 1, her prom dress from "The Prom," her cute blue and white dress from "Grad. Pt.1" "You're Welcome," (of course - I even tried to bid on those pants on ebay!) Her "Waiting in the Wings" dress also was gorgeous. Which of SMG's outfits, from any of her roles and public appearances, would you most love to have your own version of to wear? Umm.. I have Prom on the 13th.. think I can borrow Buffy's Prom dress for then?? Please?? I would love to own anything of hers.. that dress, her outfit from "Triangle" with the pigtails, her "I will remember you outfit" and anything from CI or SI... Pretty much.. everything... Ok, stopping for now, but don't think I won't be back with more, missy! I will await your return! Thanks for such fun questions!

Thanks for your answers Hadley, it's great to hear that you are so interested in Europe. I must say The Netherlands is a great place to live, it's just sad that a lot of Americans hardly know about it ("The Netherlands?.. you mean Germany?").
Thank you very much, same here!
Here are some more questions for you.. i'm not very creative, but i'm starting to really like this hot seat thing
Do you ever watch "The King of Queens"? (it's on now and i love that show)
What's your favorite type of movie (drama, comedy, thriller etc)??
Dogs or cats?
What's you favorite holiday?
Spring or summer?
Do you drink alcohol?
What's your favorite website?

What made you change your mind about having children? When did you change your mind? How many children do you think you'd want to have?
What do you think about Gwen Stephanie recently admitting that she starves herself to stay thin and is always hungry? Do you think that she should have kept that to herself, since it's not something she's trying to overcome and she is such a role model for both girls and women?

-What's your favorite Buffy episode? Very tough question... but probably, "Amends." I love the scene at the end and the ream sequences are.. well.. wonderful.. you've seen them! After that, probably "The Prom, "Angel," "Enemies," "Grad. Day Pt.2," "Villians," "I was made to love you" (if only for the message if carries alone!) "Chosen," "The Pack," "The Weight of the World," and "Prophecy Girl." Yep, that's a lot, but I love them all for different reasons.. even the ones without Salty Goodness aka Angel. ;0 How many customs do you now own? 20 They are all made by.... you , Val (Buffyville), MsBig, Willfan, Bennywilde, JediDoug, Buffyfanone, RavenSkaH, and Chaos. Out of all the customs that you do own, what are your top 5 favorites? In no particular order..
Simply Irresistible SMG Enemies Buffy St.Patricks Miss March SMG The Prom Cordelia Homecoming Buffy Doublemeat Palace Buffy Surprise Buffy
..sorry that was more than 5! Who is your least favorite Buffy/Angel character? Wow.. good question. Probably Maggie Walsh, Forrest or Graham.. I wasn't keen on the way they did the whole 'Initiative' thing... . Who is your favorite Buffy/Angel villian? The Mayor! Harry Groener was amazing and I loved his work through S3 and his appearances in other seasons. I also love Darla, Dru, Glory, and Caleb rounding out my top five! Have you ever met anyone famous? I have a long list of people I really want to meet, but living in Kansas, we don't get cons or many famous people through here. I met Scott Schwartz at a convention here last year and he was very nice. I've seen Alyssa Milano in a restaurant when I was in New York, NSYNC stayed at my hotel in Chicago, and I rode in an elevator with Tori Amos at midnight in Palm Beach. Other than that, I've only seen people on stage at concerts! What is your favorite "Once More With Feeling" song? Under your Spell/Wish I could stay reprise, Standing, or I've got a theory!That's it for now. I'll be back... Thanks so much for the great questions!!!

I'm also a fellow Mayor fan. I'm so glad we got to see him again in Season 7. Was there ever a character from Buffy/Angel that you didn't like at first, but grew on you after awhile? Who do you think was the best for Willow (Oz, Tara, or Kennedy)? -Jess

Who is your fave band or singer? I’ve got a soft spot for Britney Spears, which I’m sure the board knows… but with over 500 cds.. I have the most eclectic group of favorites ever. I like everything from Ray Charles to Shakira to Bobby Darin to the Killers. I’m all over the place! Band-wise, I love U2 and Coldplay, and I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to see them both in concert!Who is your fave actor and actress outside of the Buffyverse? For so long it was Jennifer Garner. I absolutely love Alias.. But with all of her drama, I’ve just stayed clear. I love “Sydney Bristow” but not really Jen herself. I really like Kiefer Sutherland, Angelina Jolie.. (Yep.. Me too…) Alexis Bledel, Gillian Andersen, David Duchovny, and the cast of “Roswell” and “CSI.” “Simply Irresistible.” It’s really cute, at least to me, and it’s really a happy movie. I love that little crab too! I was very upset the day I found out it was mechanical. Other favorite movies of mine include, “Legally Blonde,” “Cruel Intentions,” “Josie and the Pussycats,” “Crash,” “Silence of the Lambs” and fun things like “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” I really just love media, really! Favorite song.. Hmm.. I’ve got a few, today I’ve been into “Mack the Knife,” but my all-time favorites include “Baby one more time,” by Britney Spears, “You’re so Vain” by Carly Simon, “Yellow” by Coldplay, an “With or without you” by U2.what was the last DVD that you bought? The Dawson’s Creek Season 6 DVD set.. And I shrieked when I saw it in Target (a big store in the U.S.) and my friend couldn’t stop laughing. It was the one big purchase I made, instead of little tiny purchases. whats your favourite fanfiction? Buffy/Xander kind when I find it.. If not, Buffy/Angel marriage fic whats your favourite type of music? Probably pop music, but I love all kinds - hip hip, rock, alternative, jazz, classical, even on occasion rap!which do you prefer: customs or offical DST figures? Customs! I think not only do you get an outfit/character that you’ve always wanted, but you get to know the customizer at the same time! A new friend and something that you’ve always wanted. Plus the customizers on this board are so amazingly talented!!

Had - what is it you like so much about Britney Spears? I know she gets a lot of bad press, and a lot of people aren't fans (myself included), so what is it that made you stick with her? Since I was a young girl who stayed up late on Sundays to list to who got the number on spot on Casey Kasem’s top 40, I enjoyed Britney. I remember writing her name down on a piece of paper to try and find “Baby one more time.” When I was that young, (elementary school) Britney was a great symbol of pop pureness (kinda funny now, eh?) But for awhile, she was that perfect pop princess. In her “BOMT” days, she was a normal size 8, regular hair color, and seemed very sweet. Truthfully, I think one thing Britney has that not many other popstars do have, is her figure. She isn’t a size two, and I think she has to workout a lot to keep the body that she had circa the 2002 “Dream within a Dream” tour. People didn’t have to be 98 points to be like Brit. Pop music is my favorite music because it’s fun, it’s an escape and you can dance to it. I love to dance, so Britney and her dancing has always been something I’ve worked to try and be like. Britney was one of my idols in elementary school, but back then, she was 16 and not what she is now. She has a good story: her parents having money troubles, her mom working a second job for her, and now her parents separating. Do I believe her mom pushed her? Yes. Do I believe she was a good role model to me as a child? Yes. I didn’t walk around in midriff tops or pigtails. My mother had taught neither were very school appropriate. I knew what was the entertainment and the act and what I believed was Britney.
I think Britney got very tired after the 2002 tour and wanted to leave the business. I think she married Jason Alexander because she really did love him and she wanted to go off back to Louisiana and live happily ever after as a sweet country girl. I am *not* happy with what happened with Kevin Federline, but I think it was a bit of rebellion against her mother. I think Britney really wanted a family and I hope Sean Preston does give her some peace of mind. I don’t think she’ll ever be the international star she used to be.
Sorry if that was so long, but I have thought about this a lot, probably more than I should have! Great question again, thanks Jen!
I think I’ve stayed with Britney because I believe she’s a good person beneath everything she’s made out to be. She was always what she was - a well marketed gorgeous teen pop star, and she never tried to be anything else. She’s not the smartest girl in the world, but not the dumbest. I feel that for awhile, she was a good role model to girls, but not as much if I were to have to judge her from today. I do though, think she deserves props about having a child after she was married, which most people don’t notice. Other celebrities switched them. I think she has many good qualities, but again, I’m not preaching for her, everyone has the right to be a fan or not a fan - just me rambling for a good half a page!!

Post by Justhad on Apr 11, 2006 19:16:47 GMT -5
Do you ever watch "The King of Queens"? (it's on now and i love that show) I watched it in the early seasons when it first started, but with a busy school schedule I wasn’t able to keep up with all my favorite tv shows. Just this week I’m getting to finish “Felicity!” What's your favorite type of movie (drama, comedy, thriller etc)?? Probably dramas or psychological thrillers. I think I’ve got a favorite in every category! Some days I’ll be in a “Silence of the Lambs” mood, other days, I’m all about something like “Not another teen movie!” Dogs! I’ve got a little dog named Bennett who’s half Cocker Spaniel/half American Eskimo - Dogs are really friendly animals, but my friend has cats that I enjoy seeing also - I’m just really a dog person at heart! What's you favorite holiday? Probably Halloween! I love the “come as you aren’t” night theme. I love dressing up, having an annual Halloween party and just trying to come up with a neat new costume idea. I usually have a daytime one, a night one, and a party one! Spring.. I think the changing of the seasons is a great transition. I love rain, so the fresh spring rain is such a great feeling. Plus, you get those days that are warm, but there are both clouds and sun shining in the sky and the rain falls down… I bet everyone’s had one of those days. It’s just so magical. J I’ve had some in the past, but I can say I’ve never been drunk. I don’t really enjoy it, mostly because it tastes badly. I’ve never attended a single high school drinking party. In my opinion, I think it changes people. I’ve dealt with some people who’ve abused alcohol around me and they’re times I’d rather not go through again. I think if people can drink socially and responsibly, that’s great. But I don’t think those who drink to “Get drunk” or to do things like get on other guys are good reasons. I’ve never drank with friends, only my family, so I’ve never abused it.
It’s a really hard issues, especially in high school. Kids, my age at least, are very impressionable. I think many of them drink to fit in, and it’s sad, because they’re people with such potential. Then of course, some don’t have it. People need to be able to make their own smart choices for what’s right with them. I personally am not a fan, but another person may have a different opinion.What's your favorite website? Other than BTVSfigs?!?! I don’t have many others besides various Buffy and Alias sites. I do check out an RPG forum called “Many RPGS” and of course.. Ebay

What made you change your mind about having children? When did you change your mind? How many children do you think you'd want to have? Around 5th grade, I just thought that it’d never be something I wanted to do. As I grew up and started dating I could imagine futures with people and it would get easier to accept the idea. I always used to joke that they’d have to find someone to want to have children with me first, before I ever considered the idea. I think the idea of having someone that special in your life would be great. I think I’d really enjoy relating to a daughter, kind of in a Lorelei to Rory way, (Gilmore Girls) because I’ve been through all those things that people only see on soap operas. I think that if I can find the right person, kids would great What do you think about Gwen Stephanie recently admitting that she starves herself to stay thin and is always hungry? Do you think that she should have kept that to herself, since it's not something she's trying to overcome and she is such a role model for both girls and women? I hadn’t heard about this, but it saddens me. I think most women have this persona that they need to be thin to be beautiful, which I don’t believe is the case. I think, as cliché as it is, it is what’s on the inside that counts. I personally had a time in my life where I tried to eat less than 1000 calories today and it was very unhealthy. I was tired all the time and was getting sick. Plus, you find yourself cheating all the time. I finally decided that my weight was healthy, and that I’d never be the 100 pounds I was in middle school. I think that it’s tough enough for girls out there to deal with their weight without having to watch their favorite celebrities being anorexic, bulimic, and starving themselves. I think knowing this will make me look at Gwen differently, but I wish she wouldn’t promote starving herself to the women and girls that look up to her. I wish it were something she was working through, because she’d be a stronger woman in my book for trying to deal with it. I'm also a fellow Mayor fan. I'm so glad we got to see him again in Season 7. I *loved* his parts in S7 - I’m very happy he was brought back. I new from “Lessons” that he’d be back again!! Was there ever a character from Buffy/Angel that you didn't like at first, but grew on you after awhile? Anya, definitely. I grew to love her so much!! Cordelia too, at first I wasn’t her biggest fan, but now I enjoy her episodes to much. All the characters really grew on me as I got to know them more. The only one I didn’t like as much was Joyce after what she told Angel. I wish she had been more honest with her daughter. Who do you think was the best for Willow (Oz, Tara, or Kennedy)? Probably Oz or Tara. I think Oz was great through high school and the beginning of college, but I didn’t see them growing together as much as I saw Willow grow with Tara. I think Tara went through transitions better than Oz did. Tara was more grown up, so I think she was able to help Willow grow too.
