Whats the most important life lesson you've learnt so far?

Life isn’t fair. It’s really true. Your parents and friends tell you it all your life but you’ll soon realize, it isn’t. Nothing is always perfect, and nothing goes exactly the way you want it to all the life. You’ll make mistakes, and usually you have to make them on your own to really learn them. You have to go through different experiences to become the person that you’re meant to be. I know that even through some of the things I’ve labeled “bad” in my lifetime I hated going through - I feel like I’m a stronger person after going through them. Life isn’t a fairytale - it is what you make it, and I can just hope I’m doing ok in the long run J

firecracker said:

What plays have you been involved in and what were your roles/jobs?

A lot actually! I’ve been involved in my school’s theatre program since I started high school and have taken four years of theatre classes. I started out auditioning for the main musical, but I can’t really sing, so I ended up on the House Crew (ushering) until I eventually became a House Crew Chief (in charge of the House Crew.) I did, though, tryout one year with “Life’s a Show” from “Once More With Feeling.” J I’ve acted in one big show, it was called “Adam and Eve: The Untold Story” where I played Eve. I’ve tried out for numerous small and big shows, but I’ve come to love directing the best. I’ve directed three shows this year: Buffy “Enemies” - which was a 5 person cast of Buffy, Angel, Faith, Willow and The Mayor based off of the same episode, a “Sex and the City” show retitled “Girls in the City” featuring all the 4 main girls, plus Mr. Big and numerous different dates, and currently I’m working on “Dysenchanted” which is from the collection of short films called “Celebrity Mix” featuring several storybook characters in therapy. I also student directed our big musical “Grease” this year - I was in charge of 70 people or so! I’m currently also working on Sound with a good friend of mine for the upcoming collection of songs/acts called “Blue Moon” which features our choir… It should be fun, especially since my friend is a huge Buffy fan as well as a few other crew members and we’re going to get shirts with Giles’ quote “That’s not music, it’s meaningless sound.” (or the similar quote to that one!) I’ve really loved by experience with theatre. The people are great (minus a few!) and my teachers have been amazing!

firecracker said:

Do you like "Wicked"?

I **LOVE** “Wicked.” I saw it in Connecticut this past Winter and just loved it. I had the soundtrack for so long before that I just was in awe the entire time! I even got that cute pink shirt with “popular” in pink with a glittery wand as the L. Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth are so talented and I’ve loved everything they’ve done!

firecracker said:

"Rent"?

You’ve just picked out two of my favorite musicals! I love “Rent” also, and saw it on Broadway a summer or two ago. We had third row seats and “Seasons of Love” just sent chills down my spine, it was so effective. I think the musical is really well written and the characters are some of the best I’ve seen in musicals!

firecracker said:

Does it ever depress you to live in Kansas?

For a long time it was weird for me, because I’m very much a ‘city’ girl. I have that “wanting to get lost in a sea of people” feeling sometimes, and I wanted that inconsistency of how nothing was ever the same. In this past year, I’ve really learned to appreciate Kansas. Sure there’s the same small town rat race that most small towns have where most people know everyone else, but at the same time, it’s a very safe place to live. We don’t have a lot of crime and I’ve met some genuinely nice people. People aren’t as hardened as I’ve seen them as say, on the streets of New York. We also don’t have a daily problem of muggings, pick pocketing, etc, unless you venture into those supposed areas. There are places I try to avoid at night, but at the most part, we have that Sunnydale-esque “the good part of town is near the bad part of town.” Overall, I’ve come down on the side of liking Kansas. I can always leave and come back to it, and most likely, it will be almost the same as when I left. I’m attending the University of Kansas next year - so I’ve pretty much tied myself to the state for at least another four years

firecracker said:

Have you ever met a tourist in Kansas?

Multiple times! Since I work in a clothing store we get all sorts of people in. Most of the tourists are visiting family though, and not usually checking out Kansas for, well, Kansas. My friends even ran into Billy Corgan (lead singer of the band Smashing Pumpkins) at the IHOP near them! They just walked up to him, asked him why he was in Kansas, and it turns out - he has family here too! I haven’t met any crazy Kansan fans… but when I do, I’ll let you know!

firecracker said:

LOL okay I'm done with the Kansas questions...

Feel free to ask more! I enjoy fun questions about my state! We’re making the news a lot lately too..

firecracker said:

What's your favorite thing from Taco Bell?

Cheese Quesedillas with Mild sauce, and a nice cold Mountain Dew.. wow.. now I'm really in the mood for Taco Bell!

philnjill said:

Jayhawk or that other, supposed, university?

Jayhawk all the way! I’m attending the University of Kansas in the Fall and I’m really psyched. I’m hoping to study poltical or behavioral science!

[Justhad]

buffyville said:

Ok Hadley,

Im SOO glad to see you here! :-)

Thank you so much Val And thank you for the questions too!

buffyville said:

Whitney Houston or Madonna?

Whitney Houston in her early years - circa "I wanna dance with somebody" and the all those songs from "The Bodyguard" and Madonna circa "The Immaculate Collection" days and before!

buffyville said:

JLO or Beyonce?

J.Lo is my guilty pleasure. I absolutely love her, and I have all of her albums. I think she's a fun dancer and has some great clothes! I respect Beyonce too, but her songs get so overplayed that I get tired of her quickly.

buffyville said:

98 degrees or Backstreet Boys?

Wow.. both.. It's sad.. but I was a huge pop music person during the height of its era - I loved BSB and 98 degrees, but I've gotta say.. my heart used to be with NSYNC.. I even saw them in concert.

buffyville said:

Angel or Spike?

Angel, forever.

buffyville said:

Charisma Carpenter right for Wonder Woman or not?

I'd love her as Wonder Woman, but I'm not sure if it'll happen. She really has the 'wonder woman' look in my opinion - but we'll see what Joss thinks!

buffyville said:

Andrew or Jonathan?

I loved Jonathan for awhile.. but Andrew really grew on me! The trio was cute and funny - I enjoyed them as the humorous aspect of S6!

buffyville said:

Peanut Butter or Jelly?

Peanut Butter! I hate Jelly so I've never had them together!

buffyville said:

Wheat or Rye?

Wheat.. though when it comes to bread, I like white, even though it's really bad for me!

buffyville said:

What was your most embarassing (funny) moment?

Hmm... hard question! I've done many embarassing sober karaoke performances, and some funny projects my freshman year. I've done things like fallen up stairs and tripped in heels. I was demonstrating a high kick once at Buffy class and I landed on my butt!

buffyville said:

Have you ever contemplated leaving the forum? If so ..why?

Actually, I have, but I always find myself getting pulled back in. After the Dark Willow thing I thought about leaving, after what happened with Matt I thought about leaving. It's usually when the forum erupts in large trauma when I think I need a break, but overall, I love this place, and can never imagine leaving anytime soon! [/quote]

buffyville said:

Name 5 people on the forum that inspire you, and how they inspire you.

In no particular order...

-Maria (Girl Power) as I stated earlier, she is just amazing and I'd love to be able to have a full life as she has, and be able to help others. She is a huge inspiration for me.

-Val (Buffyville) She's been constantly nice to me even before she was a member of this board! I love her as an addition and really admire her customs and her ability to make people happy.

-Rich (Second Evil) He's able to stand up for someone he loves and admires - Michael Jackson - and take a lot of heat. I really enjoy his passion and it's inspiring to see someone who continues to defend someone he cards about.

-Tim (Flobbster) He's not only a good guy, but he's lived through a major natural disaster. He was fair with custom prices, lived through some major family and relationship issues and still been able to laugh with my about how attractive Christian Troy and Kimber are - he's great!

-Lee and Lyn (Bennywilde) - these are two amazing customizers and friends who I'm so lucky to have. They've been able to get through many hardships and still raise a great son!!


Hadley night time.. I'll answer more of Val's and other questions tomorrow! Thank you all for a great first day!

[Girl Power]

Is the other Gile quote to that the one that goes something like, "We listened to excessively cheerful music song by people chosen for their ability to dance?"

I loved that one.

[The Second Evil]

1) Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible?
2) Do you find English accents sexy?
3) What's your favourite day of the week?
4) MJ Songs! Bad or The Way You Make Me Feel?
5) Do you have any nicknames?

[Becky]

What is your favorite X-Files episode?

What did you think of the X-Files finale?

What has been your favorite swap theme?

If you could meet any 3 famous people (alive or dead), who would they be and why?

[Justhad]

buffyville said:

How old were you when you got your first kiss?

I was 15 - and it was the day before my sophomore year started. He was a senior, and I'd liked him for a long time. Everything was really perfect (and I'd always wanted it to be something momentous like a Buffy/Angel kiss or the kiss between Reese & Ryan in CI by the escalator). It was nice and sunny outside, and I'd invited him over to watch "The Ring" which wasn't scary the second time... but was still fun. My brother had come home a few minutes earlier, knew the boy had kissed me, called my parents, and my dad gave me a huge hug and said "congratulations!" when they got home...... from dinner across the street.

Now the story of me and this boy goes on to this day - he was my all-time bad boy and we ended up dating over Christmas of my Junior year - a year and a half later.

buffyville said:

Congrats on 1 year with your boyfriend!! Is this the longest relationship youve had so far? If not, how long?

Thank you so much Val! It is my longest relationship ever - my next one being 6 months. I had a long string of "bad boys" as Maria and I call them, but Jamie (my current boyfriend) is one of the nicest, kindest people I've ever met!

buffyville said:

Willow or Fred?

I love Willow, and I love Fred, but since I grew up with Willow, I've got to say her. She's cute, everchanging, and always was the beacon of hope within "Buffy." I think her reaction to Tara's death was also really well done, and the writers really let her do different things with her character.

buffyville said:

LEAST favorite Buffy episode of all time, why?

Where the Wild Things are. When this was on I was really youn (sixth or seventh grade) and this was the freakest thing to me. I remember reading the spoilers for it and being seriously disturbed for a day or two. The whole idea of sexual repressed children being killed is really disturbing to me, so I'm trying, but I'm not yet warmed up to this episode.

buffyville said:

What are your favorite Buffy Customs?

My favorite I've ever seen here are: MsBigs "Real Me" Buffy, my Simply Irresistible SMG, Aly's "Halloween" Buffy and "Becoming" Darla, Shivi's "Fairy SMG," and really any of Flobbster's Buffys!!

buffyville said:

Your DREAM customs?

Probably my own "Fairy SMG" and all of Sarah's Esquire photo shoot Customs... A "You're Welcome" Cordelia, a fab five early season 1 group of customs, and anything from Simply Irresistible and Cruel Intentions!

buffyville said:

Nicest thing anyone has done for you on this forum?

Ka-lel just made me a cute graphic with my picture and all these definitions of kindness and I loved it!! You made me the nicest CI gift! Chad and Tim gave me the chance to be a moderator. Eva went out of her way to get me a Charisma auto asking for nothing in return as well as sending me an extra swap gift! I've gotten the nicest pms from people and things like the Hadley Appreciation Thread you all made me are one of a kind - They're so nice and no one has any idea how much I appreciate it and how much it warms my heart.

buffyville said:

Member of the forum you think is most like you..why?

I feel like you, Maria, Chad, and David (chosen01) are all very similar to me - I hope that's all ok to say! Our personalities seem to mesh really well and they all have different aspects I myself wish to have!

buffyville said:

Member of any other forums?

Just this new RPG forum that I have yet to even play as a character on! BTVSfigs is my priority forum!

buffyville said:

buffyville said:

Watching American Idol?

Ohhhhh yaaaaa.... I'm addicted!

buffyville said:

If so, Are you on Katherines side too?

I'm all about Taylor Hicks!

buffyville said:

Have you ever been to Disney World?

Yes! Many times! I love it, it's one of my favorite places in the US - Epcot Center has the whole world village which I enjoy so much!

buffyville said:

When are you coming to Florida to visit me :-)

Soon! I'll be in Palm Beach in June, but other than that - we need to find a time when I can visit!!

[Justhad]

girlpower said:

Is the other Gile quote to that the one that goes something like, "We listened to excessively cheerful music song by people chosen for their ability to dance?"

I loved that one.

Either...

Giles: "I know music. Music has notes. This is noise."

Giles: "It's not music, it's just, uh, meaningless sounds."


--Maria - will you send me the episode that quote is from?? That may work really well too!!

[Girl Power]

I don't remember the episode. I just remember that Giles babysat Dawn at the Summers house. I think it was season 5.

[gerry]

What do you think about rainy days?

What wakes you up in the morning?

[Justhad]

halfrek said:

1) Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible?

Be invisible. It'd make sleeping in class or staying up late much easier!

halfrek said:

2) Do you find English accents sexy?

Very much so! I told my family awhile back that I was going to try and go to school at Oxford for the specific reason to meet British guys because they had to be better than American boys - plus the accents are wonderful

halfrek said:

3) What's your favourite day of the week?

Tuesday usually, because I get to see who I get to make up questions for this week for the Hot Seat! Either that or Friday, I love the idea that the week is over and I have a nice weekend ahead!

halfrek said:

4) MJ Songs! Bad or The Way You Make Me Feel?

The Way You Make Me Feel - all the way!! It's one of my favorite songs of his, and I listen to it even more after it was used in "Center Stage." Britney Spears also did this song as a duet with Michael once!!

halfrek said:

5) Do you have any nicknames?

Hads is the big one - all my close friends here and on the board call me that. One of my aunt's friends came up with it. I also get Kombrink a lot (my last name), Haddams, Had, and "Buffy" from my drama teachers.

becky said:

What is your favorite X-Files episode?

I'm the biggest Scully/Mulder shipper, so all my favorite revolved around them. "Triangle" was a favorite, as well as the pilot, "All things," "Monday," and the cute one that was in black and white. I was so happy that they got together. The show is one of the most excellent ever to be on tv.

becky said:

What did you think of the X-Files finale?

I actually really liked it. I think that the use of the trial with the different characters was really innovative. I actually used the scene in a paper I wrote for a history class that involved Mulder being on trial and him being judged by Joan of Arc, Charles Darwin, Carl Sagan, and Marie Curie on whether aliens existed or not aka whether or not he murdered the man/alien. I liked also how the end was reminiscent of the first episode. I'm still hoping for a second movie!

becky said:

What has been your favorite swap theme?

Probably "From the Desk of Rupert Giles" because I thought it was a little different than the usual themes. I try to do something a little out of the ordinary for every swap and highlight different characters. The one with Ethan¡¦s Costume Shop as the theme I also really liked.

becky said:

If you could meet any 3 famous people (alive or dead), who would they be and why?

Hard question!! Probably Bono, so I could pick his mind about his work in Africa and towards world hunger. I'd want to know how he's able to keep everything together and still have a happy family, houses all over the world, and continue to make quality music!

I would have loved to have met John F. Kennedy. I love history and I enjoy learning about our different Presidents. He's one of my favorites and I think one of America's favorites. I wouldn¡¦t mind having lunch with him and Jackie O.

Hilary Clinton -again with the politics thing - I think she seems like a very interesting woman and would love to sit down with her and discuss political issues of today and yesteryear.

I'm sorry if I sound like the biggest nerd!

Jayhawk or that other, supposed, university?

Jayhawk all the way! I’m attending the University of Kansas in the Fall and I’m really psyched. I’m hoping to study poltical or behavioral science!

Good for you! My wife and I both graduated from KU, my brother is a KU Med grad, my late sister was planning on going there! My other sister went to MU, darn it. Hopefully they have everything rebuilt by then!

What do you hope to do with your studies?

[captainperoxideluv]

Hi Hadley,

Buffy or Dana Scully?
The Trio or the Lone Gun Men?

Well, that's a few for now... And as always if you know the meaning of life, please share

[Justhad]

girlpower said:

I loved that one.

I’ll be hitting my S5 disc yet later today. We’re trying to come up with something sound/music-related because that’s our crew. My friend Jen suggested we have David Boreanaz photos on the front, (she’s very much in love with Angel.) If you have any more great quote suggestions I’d love to hear them! (Even if they aren’t sound related!)

gerrywj said:

What do you think about rainy days?

I love rainy days. My mother used to joke that I should go to school in Seattle because they get so much rain. I explained that I appreciate them more when I get them every so often. Some rainy days I love to lie in bed and watch tv, read a good book, or write. I like to choose my background music based on what book I’m reading. I read a series of books called “Fearless” a few years ago and read so many to the same album that I can’t listen to the cd without remembering those books! Other than that, I’m a huge romantic when it comes to rain kisses. I’m pretty sure it stemmed from movies like “Chasing Amy” and “Daredevil.” I think rain is one of the most amazing natural phenomenons.

gerrywj said:

What wakes you up in the morning?

Last year when I was going crazy academically, it was one class. It was called Theory of Knowledge and we discussed philosophers, theories, etc and I loved it. At the end of the year I did a presentation on “The Reflection of Society in the Buffyverse” and I got my teacher into it. He even read “Buffy and Philopshy.” These days, I get up really because I love to be busy and enjoy living every moment to the fullest. I’m one of those “you can sleep when you’re dead – you can’t hang out with your friends of watch “Felicity” – so what’s another hour? I try to get the most of out my days, but at the same time, I’ve had those weeks where the only reason I woke up was to watch “Where in the World is Matt Lauer?” I also felt for awhile I was ‘going through the motions’ of life and like I was doing the same thing every day. I’m glad that I’ve strayed from that and have been able to meet new people, try new (and not crazy) things. I even go and sing karaoke with my brother on Saturday nights, which is something I used to never do. It’s these amazing moments of camaraderie and joy that keep me going.

[The Second Evil]

Great answers so far, Hadley! Keep up the good work Here are a few more from me:

1) What's your favourite smell?

2) What do you think of my User Name?

3) What do you think Michael Jackson should do next with his life and career, now that's he's found some peace with himself in Bahrain. Do you have any ideas for how he could make a comeback?

4) Which MJ CDs do you own? Which would you like to own?

5) What's your view on Kevin Federline?

6) Water or milk?

7) What would be your ideal storyline for Ava's Season Four Return in Nip/Tuck?

8) Did you feel let down by the Carver's 'Big Reveal' in N/T Season Three?

9) Do you have the Firefly/Serenity DVDs? If you don't have either of them, can I bully you into getting them?

[NiftyGod27]

Heya Hadley

Seeing as your always giving advice, whats the best piece of advice you've ever been given?

Who gave it to you?

Worst nickname?

Worst habit?

That's it for now. I might have some more later.

What do you hope to do with your studies?

Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go Ku!! I hope you and your wife enjoyed KU - both my parents went there are loved it! They’ve been doing so much construction at KU Med lately! I think it’ll be an awesome facility (and it already is now!) and even better after they finish everything.

I’d really like to work for the FBI. I know it sounds really strange, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do since I started high school. It might have been waaaay too much “X-Files” for awhile - but it’s stuck with me. I speak French, and would love to take more languages at KU. I’d like to major in political or behavioral science and continue my education in Washington D.C. If I go the behavioral science route, I’d like to profile serial killers and things like that. If I go the political science route, I can see myself more analyzing world situations and traveling to other countries, hopefully using the different languages I’ve studied. I’m not really interested in running for an office, but being more a behind the scenes person. Wow.. That was a ton.. They’re my goals now, but I tend to joke that I’m very much a “Felicity” someone who goes pre-med and ends up being an artist… I’ll keep everyone posted!

captainperoxideluv said:

Hi Hadley,
Here's a few fun and a few thought provoking ones

Thanks so much Sharon!! I hope you enjoy the answers - I LOVED your questions!!

captainperoxideluv said:

David Boreanaz or David Duchovny?

David Duchovny… (ooh please don’t hate me!) Duchovny is just.. Extremely sexy. He plays such interesting characters, and in real life he’s an extremely smart guy. I don’t really understand how he’s married to Tea Leoni… I love Boreanaz, but he’s not the same manly man as Duchovny is. Plus, he just isn’t as cute, as paranoid and does not wear a suit like Duchovny can.

captainperoxideluv said:

Buffy or Dana Scully?

Very hard question…. Buffy has always seemed more likeable to me. Dana Scully seems really different than Gillian Andersen. Scully is more likeable than Gillian in my eyes. I like Buffy for her fashion, spunkiness and ability to take a risk. I wish Scully could get out more often and take some risks, like allowing herself to fall for Mulder earlier than she did.

captainperoxideluv said:

The Trio or the Lone Gun Men?

Lone Gun Men all the way!! I love them. They’re smart, funny, and continually crush on Scully which leads to hilarious conversations and episodes. The one where they’re all at the convention cracks me up every time. I think that they’ve got such interesting personalities and we very developed throughout the 9 seasons. I cried after “Jump the Shark.”

captainperoxideluv said:

Skinner or Giles?

Giles! Giles was always behind the Scooby Gang while Skinner still doubting the Mulder/Scully pair. Giles is way more of a father figure to them and definetly a comic figure throughout the series as well as a an every-evolving character.

captainperoxideluv said:

Flukeman or Suvolte Demon (As You Were)?

FLUKEMAN!! I really enjoyed “The Host” episode, to the point where to get back at my brother for always changing what his name was under on my cell phone - that I made him “Flukeman.” To this day he is still Flukeman on my phone, and I have the Little Flukeman palz to remind me of him. He hates it, and my friends don’t get it, but it makes me laugh everything I see the name pop up!

captainperoxideluv said:

Cigarette Smoking Man or The Master?

Cigarette Smoking Man. Not only did he have that mysterious thing going on, but he was more attractive than the Master. He was a dynamic character that went from having no lines to being a very significant plot piece. I especially liked how he’d show up out of nowhere.. He was just so darn cool..

captainperoxideluv said:

Chris Carter or Joss Whedon? >>>see I'm a bit of an Xfiles fan myself

I love talking with other X-Files fans! It seems we don’t get to talk about it enough since it was canceled … I’d have to say Joss for this one, mainly because he’s brought the joys of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly to my life, though Chris bring the “The X-Files.” Tough call!

captainperoxideluv said:

Buffy or Faith?

Buffy. I just think she was always a nicer, more intelligent and had a better head on her shoulders than Faith. I really think Faith was a victim of her family and environment - She had to grow up early and be tough, making her the person she became. I loved her in Angel and Buffy in the later seasons - I felt like she grew up and accepted life.

captainperoxideluv said:

Ubervamp or Caleb?

Caleb… Nathan Fillon is such a sexy guy in general and this was the first time I’d ever seen him anything, and of course.. I found him cute. I enjoyed this character, and he seemed very human, which made him even eviler.

captainperoxideluv said:

Best for Fred: Wesley or Gunn?

I love Wesley. Wesley, Wesley, Wesley. I really enjoyed her with Gunn when they were together. I really find Gunn to be a spectacular character. My heart goes to Wesley, especially in those last few moments when they were together in “A Hole in the World.”

captainperoxideluv said:

Fred or Illyria?

Fred. She was such a kind, gentle person, and I really related to her. I’ve always been an oddball science loving girl (but not as smart as her) and get giddy about things like books, so I always felt like she was a kindred spirit. Even Digilee’s bini of her in the lab coat reminds me of a mini me and I saved it so I always could remember it! I loved friend while she was around and can’t wait to see Amy in more things.

captainperoxideluv said:

Favorite Spike quote (even though I know he's not your favorite)?

I think Spike had the best lines out of anyone on the show. He was one of the wittiest characters and made you laugh. Some of my favorites include..

Buffy: In 5 words or les…
Spike: Out. For. A. walk… B****

Andrew: It's an onion… and it's a flower. I - I don't understand how such a thing is possible.
Spike: See, the genius of it is you soak it in ice water for an hour so it holds its shape. Then you deep-fry it root-side up for about five minutes.
Andrew: Masterful.
Spike: Yeah. (beat) Tell anyone we had this conversation, I'll bite you.

(We have an Outback Steakhouse here that makes those so this always makes me laugh!)

Spike: You listen to me. (kneels in front of her) I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn’t. I don’t exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of bloody wrong calls. A 100-plus years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: you. Hey, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say. 'I love you,' it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You’re the one, Buffy.

^^ I don’t care how cheesy people thought that was, I loved it.

Spike: I'm insane. What's his excuse?

DST or MAC?

Sculpt and paint wise, I prefer MAC, but originality and number of figures, I prefer DST.

Favorite BTVS/Angel figure (not custom) ?

My first figure was Red Pants Buffy and I still have it! My other favorites are Triangle Tara, Military Xander, and Prophecy Girl Buffy!

What do you think happened to the characters after the Angel Finale- Not Fade Away?

I like to think that they died fighting. I know it’s a tad morbid, but I think that what they were doing was really great and that it would have been perfect had they died fighting for the cause they’d been working towards for so many years.

What would your "desert island" DVD's or CD's be?

I’ve always said that if I only had one movie the rest of my life it would be “Cruel Intentions.” I could never get tired of watching it. I would probably take S3 of Buffy, S2 of Alias, and anything with Julian McMahon. I would like to take Julian McMahon…. CD’s.. probably The Britney Spears greatest hits, Coldplay’s 2nd album, the first Buffy Tv soundtrack and then probably as many mixes as I could take!!

Where would you take me/what would we do, if I came to Kansas to visit?

First we’d go to the Plaza (our main shopping area) and we’d walk around, get coffee, go to lunch somewhere fun there. I’d take you to some of the cute ‘trendy’ areas and even out close to where I work and some of the shopping areas there. At night, I’d take you to a fun dinner place and possibly to Westport (our neat night entertainment area) and hopefully we’d get tea/coffee and walk around. There’s also a Friday Art Fair in our Art District I’d take you too if you were interested. I hope you’d enjoy those different things - we don’t have as much entertainment here as I wish we did!

What would your "dream date" be like?

Besides champagne and strawberries with Michael Vartan?? Well… dinner at a nice restaurant followed by a cute dessert like ice cream and a sweet goodnight kiss on my doorstep!

captainperoxideluv said:

What's been your best day ever thus far?

I’m really not sure… Probably the morning after I broke up with my worst boyfriend I’ve dated and I showed up at my school where they were working on the show we were doing and I stood in front of my best friend Lora and said, “Guess what I did?” and she just hugged me as I cried. I truly knew that she was my best friend and that she’d always be there for me. I can’t duplicate that kind of trust. Other than that, when I went to New York with my mom and aunt when I was 13, and walking in Times Square at midnight and just taking in all of the city.

captainperoxideluv said:

What "perfect moment of happiness" would make you want to lose your soul?

Probably knowing that everyone I truly care about would be safe, happy and healthy forever.

captainperoxideluv said:

What would people be surprised to know about you (sorry if this was already asked)?

Probably that I have days when I’m not so happy. I dealt with a lot of chronic pain with my eye issue and it was hard to deal with. For a few days I even thought I was going blind and that was hard to deal with. I don’t many see me when I falter, but it seems when I do, I feel like I’m crashing and burning. Other than that, I’m very organized and neat, love zombie movies, play tennis, I was a blonde for a long time, and I enjoy singing karaoke on the weekends!

captainperoxideluv said:

Well, that's a few for now... And as always if you know the meaning of life, please share J

I wish I knew the meaning of life! It would make things simpler! I think it has something to do with being kind to others and allowing yourself the freedom to be the best human being you can be. I think people need to remember that while they’re making others happy, that they need to make time for themselves too. If it were a perfect world, everyone would have everything they wanted, and it’d be something like that song, “My Grown up Christmas List” (which always makes me cry) about love never being lost and stuff, but I believe a lot of this shapes the people we are today. People need to realize being an individual is not a bad thing, it’s a gift.

Guess who's back?

Okay, so I have some follow-up questions to my last set, and some brand new ones

I've got numerous theories on philosophers, the earth, celeb marriages, etc.. if you ever want a REALLY long entry!

Ohh, definitely! What's you theory on all of the above?

-How do you feel about "celeb" culture, with people like Paris Hilton becoming famous for no reason, and with younger people aspiring to be like her?

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!

-I'd love to hear your opinion on the following:

-Abortion
-Homosexuality
-Gay marriage
-President Bush
-Terrorism

-And what do you think, right now, the world's biggest issues are? What things would you really like to be able to change and make a difference to?

Sorry..didn't mean to get TOO intense on you there!

Caleb… Nathan Fillon is such a sexy guy in general and this was the first time I’d ever seen him anything, and of course.. I found him cute

A woman after my own heart! I definitely think Caleb was sexy as far as preachers go, a real hottie! Although, the "evil" thing would possibly put a crimp in any after-church dates I might have had planned...and the "dead" part too

-Why do you think Caleb was the way he was? Do you think something happened to him in his early life? Or that he was just born evil?

-If you could have played a Buffy villain of your own creation, in a season of the show, what would your villain be called, what would they be, what would their motivation be, and how would they be defeated?

-What do you like best about Buffy and Angel?

-How much do you love the marriage dream sequence from "The Prom"?

-You are given the chance to run your own town, what would it be called, and what laws would you put in place? Also, more importantly what kind of stores and restaurants would be on Main St. of Hadleyville?

-What do you imagine for yourself in the future?

-Do you believe in redemption? Would you be able to forgive someone who did what Faith did to you (bodyswitch, boyfriend stealing, mother-beating etc.)?

-Which "celebrities" can you just not stand?
