The carousel. I just love Merry-Go-Round horses, they’re so pretty and magical to me. Favorite Theme park of all? Disney World of course! I’ve been to 6 Flags over Texas and Worlds of Fun here in Kansas City, but other than that, not many theme parks. My mom used to be a claims rep so I didn’t get to go to as many theme parks as I would have wanted. She would always come home and tell us about a different kid and a different mechanical issue. Nintendo - Global Guts (like the show), Sega - Crystal Ponies, N64 - Yoshi’s Story, GoldenEye, Banjo Kazooie, Playstation 2 - Alias, Britney’s Dance Beat (so addicting) and I have both the Buffy and X-Files game, but I got scared of the zombies in the XF game and quit.. My brother also almost beat Chaos Bleeds for me…. He’s the HALO 2 guy in the family, so video games are pretty much his life - I played with him a lot as a young child (he’s 22 months younger than me.) How old were you when you started watching buffy? I was in fourth grade, so I think 10 or 11. The first episode was “I will only have eyes for you,” and I watched a lot of the rest of that season. I even taped “Becoming 1 & 2 on tv at home and snuck away from my family dinner to watch it in my aunt’s bedroom. My tape ran out sadly and I never got to see the end.. I had to wait a very long time!! I was really young, but in that grade it was “the cool thing to do” but then everybody stopped watching it and I just fell in love with it! How old when you started watching X-Files? I can’t remember my first X-Files episode, but I believe it was “Syzyngy” or “Ice.” Those are the two I remember best when I was young. It was on late at night, but the theme song scares me.. (still does) and I couldn’t listen, and had to change the channel before going back. I was hooked after the finale, and did everything I could to acquire all the episodes on tape. Did you know immediately you would be addicted to Buffy? This is one of my favorite stories!! I was entering contests with one of my friends in the 4th grade (her name was Haley) and we were reading “Twist” (which I think still exists) and you could enter to win a book. The choices were a Sabrina the Teenage Witch novel, a Buffy novel, and a Matt Damon biography. My friend chose Matt, and me having already read the Sabrina book, chose Buffy. Many months later I received the book “Blooded” in the mail. It was my first real package in the mail, and I was so intrigued by the book. I read it, and from then on, I knew “Buffy” would always be a part of my life. I credit this book to bringing me into the Buffyverse and the Powers that Be that run Twist magazine. Favorite X-files episode, why? Probably “Triangle.” I love the concept and the idea of running two parallel stories at once. The X-Files characters as people on the ship in the 40s was a great idea. I think historic episodes are some of my favorites (like “Why we Fight”). Plus, Mulder decides to kiss 1940’s Scully in case he never sees her again. That was wonderful!! I enjoyed the music in the chase scene and the split screen concept.. Now If only she had known what happened!! LEAST favorite X-files Episode? Anything with Diana Fowley. There is a specific one where Mulder sleeps with her while she’s planning against him. I didn’t like her, and I can’t look at Mimi Rogers the same. Cast member from buffy or Angel that you dont like..casting wise or acting wise? Hmm.. I really thought the cast was pretty perfect for their roles. I was really happy with everyone. I think the acting was stellar. If I think of anyone I have a major issue with.. I’ll come back to this question! Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Both equally. They both have amazing books and amazing movies. I enjoyed all the books and movies for each and enjoyed the choices they made for each. Tolkien has so much mythology to take in, I love that, while Harry Potter always keeps me guessing! Tomcat, only because I want Katie Holmes to wise up and go back to dating Joshua Jackson. Gold for wedding rings, etc.. but silver got necklaces and earrings!! Pink, forever and ever and ever!!! Spaghetti, only because I’ve recently become addicted to the red sauce that goes on the spaghetti! Mal. All the pent of sexual frustration with Inara must make him quite the naughty spaceman… except for the incident in “Heart of Gold.” I like the moments like Buffy and Spike had in “Smashed,” but I’d still prefer the guy to be a little less evil than Caleb. That sounds kinda dirty… sorry guys. Bones, worth watching for hot David or tune out? Tune in! David is still attractive! An FBI agent! And the show is very CSI-esque! I hope it’s coming back next year! Spiderman movie...Excited its coming out or dont care? I *love* Spiderman and I love Tobey Maguire in this role. I can’t wait to see it, but I’m sad he has the black suit now. William Dafoe was so excellent in the first movie and his cameo in the second, I wish they’d bring him back somehow!! guilty little pleasure NO ONE knows about? Country music… I love country music. I even sang LeAnn Rimes in a real honky-tonk Kansas line dancing bar once. It’s definitely something I won’t forget. Scrapbooking..fun or for old ladies? Truthfully I’m working on a scrapbook right now, so I don’t think it’s only for old ladies! It’s a great way to keep a lot of memories in one place! Icon, at least to me. She did a lot for pop music, was always reinventing herself, and was one of the world’s most watched people ever. I think she’s really made a name for herself and a lot of what she did will stay with people for a long time! Ryan Seacrest gay or straight? Hot or not? Not hot.. He really gets on my nerves. I’m not sure of his sexuality.. I can see him going either way. You are wonderful Val!!

1- If you ever left the forum how would you like to e remembered? That I really enjoyed meeting everyone and that I hoped everyone went on to lead very happy and successful lives, and to always feel free to contact me via email! I hope I don‘t have to leave anytime soon, I really love it here. 2- First ever Buffy episode? “I only have eyes for you,” and I was in 4th grade. 3- Worst outfit worn by a Buffy character I had to think of that for awhile… probably Xander’s odd looking training outfit in S5, Buffy’s purple tank in “Inca Mummy Girl,” or “Tough Love” Willow’s outfit, the one everyone makes, I just never really liked the colors on Alyson. 4- Worst outfit worn by a Buffy actor/ actress? SMG wore a short mini skirt and light pink tube top with crinkled hair to the MTV Movie awards once.. It was close to hideous for that time, now I like it better, but it was very cringe-worthy. 5- How long after you found the forum did you join? My friend MorbidAJ introduced me to it after the Willows came out because he thought I’d enjoy it and it’d get me back into figure collecting. His then fiance, now wife, was my teacher at Buffy class. 6- What would be the one thing SMG could do that would make you not like her anymore? If I met her and she was rude, I would be heartbroken. Other than that, if she publicly dissed the other cast members of “Buffy,” I’d be very angry and saddened. Probably either her being rude to me in person, or continuing to live out her live popping out children for the deadbeat guy she’s married to. Sorry, I’m a little bitter. 8- What movie that you've seen has had the worst storyline, in your opinion? Two Weeks Notice, Kate and Leopold, or The Prince and Me. I’ve read lots of books I’ve hated too! That's it for now but i'll be back. Thank you again for questions Dan!

What interests you about joining the FBI? What specific kinds of things do you hope you could do in a job there? I’ve been interested since I got into the X-Files my freshman year of high school, but it has continually stuck with me. I’d like to work in international relations or profiling serial killers. I have a lot of interest in criminology and have even received a first place medal for a Forensic Science event I participated in with my science club. It’s all very interesting to me, I just have a fear I’d get very involved my work! - Did you get a chance to see Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kendal on All My Children? I’ve seen clips, but I did not get to watch the show regularly. I’m very sad about that - I would love to see those episodes!! - Sarah Michelle Gellar as a red head? (good or bad) GOOD! But more so in “Simply Irresistible” than “Scooby Doo,” it seemed more natural in SI, plus her clothes really complimented her hair style and color. - Sarah Michelle Gellar as a blonde? (good or bad) She’s an adorable blonde! I loved her hair in the early seasons of Buffy because it seemed more natural than the always perfectly curled look of the later seasons. - Sarah Michelle Gellar as a brunette? (good or bad) I love her as a brunette. If I had a choice, I’d make her in this hair color year around. It really suits her well and brings out her facial features. She’s more defined and elegant with dark hair. - Favorite Buffy Summer's outfit? Her Prom dress hands down! After that, anything from Season 1, Graduation Day pt.2, and those cute pants from Surprise! (The black ones with the white zigag!) - Favorite outfit from the series Buffy? Any of the above I listed, plus Tabula Rasa Willow, Real Me Buffy, Hush Buffy, OMWF Tara… there are just too many! Can you just give me access to their wardrobes??!?! J - Cordelia Chase: Do you see her as an Angel character or a Buffy character? I see her as a bit of both. She seems like two different people because we get to see different sides of her. I’d like to think of her as being a part of both. - Who would win, Paige of Prue? Prue, hands down. She’s got pent up anger, lots of power, and I really enjoy Shannon’s acting, even though she’s not the most well liked. - Charmed 3 or Willow and Tara? Tough one. Power-wise, it’d be close, outfit-wise, the Charmed girls would win hands down! Thank you for the Charmed questions! I don’t think many people know that I’m a huge Charmed fan!! - Could Dark Witch Willow take on the Charmed Ones? Yep, but they’d take her down, they’re just all powerful like that! DWW would give them quite a fight though!! - Were you upset to see Prue die? Very much, and I cried. I cried when Andy died too. He was one of my favorites and he made Prue never happy and away from all her anger. He really humanized her, and I enjoyed their scenes. I really miss Prue. It was never the same after that. - Were you upset to see Phoebe cut off all her hair in season 5 (I think)? Alyssa’s one of the few celebs I’ve seen in person and she is just gorgeous with long hair! I prefer the long hair, and even the cute short bob, but the really short hair was drastic! - If you could be ANY tv Character, who would you wanna be? Sydney Bristow, hands down. Secret spy agent, Victor Garber as my dad, making out with Michael Vartan during the day, and all those wigs?? It’s like a very crazy spy drama heaven!! Drusilla! She’s insane, attractive, and just plain fun to watch! Juliet is gorgeous and I really enjoyed them together! I’ve got to say cute and nerdy. It depends on who’s wearing them and what they’re like. I have glasses and I enjoy them, I couldn’t imagine sticking contacts in my eyes.. I’m too finicky! Plus, now there’s the huge thing about ReNu the contact lense solution that is causing blindness. Worse yet, my mother’s used that for years and she’s really nervous, so I’ve been scared for her recently. Thank you everyone so far for asking me such great questions!! I look forward to more!!

You sure like the hands down^^
I agree about the contacts... I was asked if I wanted them and I just can't imagine touching my eyes every morning... and I'm afraid they may get stuck or something... *cringe* just creepy... Glasses are easier and alot safer... Plus protect your eyes from dust^^
Being a All My Children fan, I must admit, the new Kendal plays the character well, but SMG will always be the better bitch^^
More Charmed question Huh? You got it!
*charmes away*
- Favorite Charmed Episode? - Favorite Charmed Un-charmed Character? - Was the Cole story line to much like season 2 and 1's story line? (Having a season wraped around a guy) - If you could have ANY character from Charmed return in 8.22, who would you pick? - Do you think you'd make a good Charmed Sister? Phadley? (silent P, of course) - Favorite Baddie from Charmed? - Paige: Blonde/Red/Orangey or Brunette? - If you could write the series finale, what is one thing you'd want in there (story wise) to help tie up loose ends? - Billie... A waste of space? - If you could have the Charmed 4 in season 8, would you want it? - Piper, better with Leo or Dan? - Piper, a good mother? - Did you liked the blurred out tattoo's in season 1, 2 and 3? - Do you miss the Charmed one's white cat from the early seasons? - Did you hate that Jenny girl as much as I did? (hated!) - If you could have ANY Buffy character cross over into Charmed, who'd you like to see? - Sarah Michelle Gellar, would she have made a good Charmed Sister? - If given the chance, would you want a season 9? (or 10?) - Would you have ended Charmed at 7.22?
hMm... what else?

You sure like the hands down^^ I didn't notice that! I'm sorry.. it was late! Favorite Charmed Episode? Apocolypse Not - I just always thought it was really creative and had a neat idea to it. Favorite Charmed Un-charmed Character? Andy Trudeau. He was wonderful, sweet, and will always be perfect for Prue. And of course.. Julian McMahon... Was the Cole story line to much like season 2 and 1's story line? (Having a season wraped around a guy) I think Cole was just a dynamic character all around. I don't mind that he season was wrapped around a guy. I think it really varied from season to season, even if the broadest generalization is that they involved guys as a big part. If you could have ANY character from Charmed return in 8.22, who would you pick? Cole... with Andy and Prue second, I like the idea of bringing back old characters for the finale. Do you think you'd make a good Charmed Sister? Phadley? (silent P, of course) I would love to be a Charmed one! I'd probably be a Piper or a Phoebe, because I trust people often, and enjoy giving advice "like Ask Phoebe"!! Phadley is funny!! Favorite Baddie from Charmed? Cole: sexy, evil and has a heart too! Paige: Blonde/Red/Orangey or Brunette? Brunette! Paige is a gorgeous brunette plus it stays with the Power of 3 Brunette theme! If you could write the series finale, what is one thing you'd want in there (story wise) to help tie up loose ends? I'd bring Prue (Shannen) back. I think they needed more closure with her. Other characters were able to come back as ghosts, but never her. I think she needs to either be brought back from the dead, or just needs to tell the girls that everything will turn out alright. It's sappy, but something I've always wanted. Billie... A waste of space? Yep.. waste of space. Bring Darrell back! If you could have the Charmed 4 in season 8, would you want it? I think that Charmed continued a little long without sufficient storylines. I'm not sure if I'd want to change it, (the more episodes, the better!) but I loved the early seasons and they will always be my favorite. Piper, better with Leo or Dan? I liked Leo in the early seasons, but no so much lately. I think Dan would have been better for her, but that's just my opinion! I think so, for the most part, she has a lot of outside circumstances and even children with superpowers. She does the most she can for them with a lot on her plate. Did you liked the blurred out tattoo's in season 1, 2 and 3? I think they should have kept them - they keep them now, and it just makes them seem like normal girls who have tatoos, nothing different. Do you miss the Charmed one's white cat from the early seasons? Definetly! I loved the cat and it was the perfect little familiar! Did you hate that Jenny girl as much as I did? (hated!) Of course, anyone who's not the main crew or Cole and are being irksome need to go away! If you could have ANY Buffy character cross over into Charmed, who'd you like to see? I really wanted Charisma to cross over, then she did, now.. if only we could have gotten Julian McMahon on "Buffy" or "Angel.." Sarah Michelle Gellar, would she have made a good Charmed Sister? I think she would have been too finicky.. and not blonde enough. I always liked the Charmed ones for being healthier-looking (not anorexic) and their ability to have style and intelligence. Buffy is very much a quintessential high schooler, and just isn't as grown up. Sarah would have seemed young on the show to me. If given the chance, would you want a season 9? (or 10?) If they had the cast, the effort, the storyline and the budget - I would have loved more seasons! Would you have ended Charmed at 7.22? Looking back on it, I think I would have. I haven't enjoyed this year's storyline as much. Thank you for the questions Travis!

What was the worst book you actually finished? I really hated "The Da Vinci Code." I think it was because I loved Angels and Demons (and it's one of my top five favorites) and 'Da Vinci' couldn't hold a candle to it. The book completely disregarded Robert's relationship with Vittoria except for 1 sentence in 'Da Vinci' and I thought the end was too cheesy... the part about Sophia and Christ.
I also haven't been a fan of a few classics, like "All quiet on the western front" and lately, I've been hating the "Princess Diaries" series. Meg Cabot keeps writing her young teenage characters all about having sex and being pressured into doing things they don't want to. I don't think this is the message we should be sending to younger readers. What books have you read in one sitting? "Picture of Dorian Gray" - I just couldn't put it down. I spent many hours over Spring Break just reading it in the condo. There've been many others like Alias and Buffy books, and some John Grisham novels. In general, is the book always better than the movie? Yes. The book gives you all the emotional and setting description that the book could never give you. I like to cite an episode novelization of "Helpless" in one of the Buffy books as a good example. There's one sentence of something Buffy is thinking during some of the dialogue and that one sentence made me view the episode so differently because I felt like I knew the emotion behind the action/words. I always have to read the book before I see the movie. I've liked some movies better, but for the most part, I've always loved the books. I always imagined Michael Vartan as Robert Langdon (from Da Vinci) and I threw a fit about it being Tom Hanks. I prefer to keep the people who I think we're the characters in my mind instead of on the screen as somebody who's not right.

You have some really thoughtful answers about Charmed. Great insights.

What did you think of Paige's romance this season? Do you like the guy? Did you think they created a real intimacy, or just pushed them to a conclusion as part of wrapping up the show?
What do you think about Leo going away this season? Do you think that they've made his absence dramatically believable, since Phoebe and Paige are barely caring that he's gone?

Have you watched Grey's Anatomy?
You're a Gilmore Girls fan, right? What do you think about how Rory's character has changed over the last year? If you were her friend, what advice would you give her about her actions and attitude?

Least Favorite Disney Ride? The ones involving "ET" or there was one I can not remember that had a skeleton in it, and it really scared me as a child. I'm also afraid of going on the Tower of Terror. Favorite store to shop in? Probably Under The Palm Tree, where I work, because I'm always there. I get most of my clothes from there since my mom owns it. After that, Barnes and Noble because I love books so much and can not ever leave there without something. Favorite Designer for clothes? Lilly Pulitzer, because it's the type of clothes I own. My mom's store is a Lilly Pulitzer signature >> www.underpalmtree.com - It's very pink and bright and I really enjoy the fit and style of the clothes. I SO love Britneys Dance Beat does your brother play with you? He used to... until he realized it was the only game (besides Goldeneye) that he could not win. Have you played American Idol for PS2? No! Is it fun? Do you recommend it as a fun game to play?? What was your first impression of Faith when she joined the buffy cast? At first she seemed a bit promiscuous and punk-ish. I thought for awhile she'd either be killed off or leave, but I really enjoyed how they played with her character's moral ambiguity and kept her around. Looking back, I think his introduction was well constructed and he seemed like a natural fit for the cast. I was really sad to see him go. Did you Love the X-files movie? Absolutely!! The part where Scully and Mulder aresoclosethatyouthinktheirlipsmighthavetouched and then... stupid bee!! I love going back through that movie and the episodes to catch little signs that they like each other. I thought the movie had a great plot and I enjoyed how it stayed true to the show and continued it. Just last night I watched "The Host," and was thinking... I really wish this show. You mentioned Blooded, I loved that story, have you read most or all of the buffy novels? I;ve actually read every Buffy novel except for the one that just came out "Carnival of Souls." I own all but "Colony" which just really really creeped me out. I had to give it away. I love the comics! I have an almost complete set of 1-50, but after that I just stopped trying to get them all. I'm not sure what the last one was. I have a few favorites among them, they're usually Buffy/Angel related. Mayo, because I like to put it on so many things, especially bread. I like white bread with just mayo, which I know... is sick. Both! I have a sweet tooth when it comes to sugary candy and cakes. I love Chocolate cake the best and candywise, M&Ms, Skittles and well¡K most other candy... I try to stay away because I like it too much! Do you enjoy true crime novels and movies? If so what are some of your favorites? I do, and currently I am reading "In Cold Blood" which I'm enjoying. I haven't really delved into other authors like Ann Rule, but I enjoy CSI-esque books, Grisham novels and others like that. If you have any suggestions- please let me know! I love new book ideas!! Have you always loved Spidey? Or recently into him due to the movies? I grew up with Marvel Comics, X-Men, etc, being cartoons and reading comics and books, especially with my brother, so I've loved Spiderman for a long time. I really love Spiderman even more when he's in Tobey Maguire form. 10 Favorite Country songs and artists? - One way Ticket by LeAnn Rimes - This one's for the girls by Martina McBride - Got a lot of leavin' left to do by Dierks Bently - Some hearts by Carrie Underwood - You've got a way by Shania Twain - Devil went down to Georgia (if considered country) - Let's make Love by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill - Mississipi Girl by Faith Hill - God bless the broken road by Rascal Flatts - Here for the party by Grethen Wilson - Wide open Spaces by the Dixie Chicks - You made me find myself ¡V LeAnn Rimes
My favorite artists are definetly LeAnn Rimes, Shania, Martina and Tim McGraw! I really enjoyed LeAnn's country/pop album "Twisted Angel" too.. it had catchy, romantic and ballad songs. I LOVE scrapbooking, what pages/ themes are working on? I've got this cute photo album that I look the clear covers off the pages and later stickered them back on, but I pasted photos, notes from friends, newspaper articles, old IDs and stickers on the pages to try and chronicle different things I like - Buffy, etc, - and then some with my friends and different things I've done in my life. I really enjoy it!! Name your 10 favorite Madonna songs, also favorite music video (she had some great ones)? In no particular order¡K
-Live to Tell -Like a Prayer -Like a Virgin -American Life -Die Another Day -Power of Goodbye -Material Girl -Cherish -Crazy for you -Papa Don't Preach
I'm sort of an 80s girl when it comes to Madonna's music --She had amazing videos, my favorite is definitely "Like a Prayer" but I also enjoy "Material Girl" and "Die another Day." I think Madonna has real staying power. I did a project on her and read a ton of biographies. She did so much and had such an interesting childhood!

Hadley, I had no idea that you were such a huge Charmed fan. That's awesome. I agree with you about Billie. Is anyone a worse actress than that girl? Somedays I think even Paris Hilton is better. You have some really thoughtful answers about Charmed. Great insights. Aww! Thank you Maria! We should talk Charmed sometime! I'm intrigued that your mom was a claims rep. What kinds of stories did she have about amusement parks? Do very many people die? You don't have to mention the specific parks, but I'd love to hear the kinds of things she told you about the rides. I think being in Kansas my mom didn't get as many from theme parks because our only one was World's of Fun, though I think there were some from there. I think that there were more accidents than deaths. A lot of them were places that had the huge structures that people could crawl around in with slides, etc... many kids would fall, get hurt, or get their fingers caught in certain slides. I'm sure others involved broken bones, etc. My mother would never let me go to these places due to the amount of accidents they had. There were lots of roller coaster problems too, and she used to watch 20/20 with Barbara Walters, and it seemed like every 6 months they would discuss roller coaster accidents. What would be your dream Charmed figure? Mermaid Phoebe. She was adorable in that episode. My second choice would be a shirtless Cole of some kind. What do you think about the Charmed figures that have been released? I have really liked them. My favorites have been the Phoebes, and I think the bases are worth the money alone! I hope they continue to make them! I'll be back with more soon!

What didn't you like about Leo in more recent seasons? I didn't like how he cared more about his job than Piper. He seemed more ready to leave Piper and do other things, and I just think he should have been there more often for her and their kids. What you do you think about Phoebe's character since she first vanquished Cole as the Source? I think she's pretty heartbroken and scorned. She's upset about the love her life being the great big evil and is not very trusting. I think she's also become a little distant. What do you think they could have done to make Phoebe's story more interesting? I think she needed a sane love interest for once, and given her a chance to meet someone mortal who appreciated her being a witch and loved her for her. It'd be something new for her. She needs a nice guy... maybe Michael Vartan?? Besides Cole, who is you favorite of Phoebe's love interests? I can't remember all the names.. but I usually like them and then they become demons. What did you think of Paige's romance this season? Do you like the guy? Did you think they created a real intimacy, or just pushed them to a conclusion as part of wrapping up the show? Probably wrapping it up, kinda like how Sex and the City had all of their characters be super happy and end up with happy relationships, while the show was trying to teach more of a "you only need yourself and your friends to be happy" theme. I don't like it when characters end up strangely different than they start. What do you think about Leo going away this season? Do you think that they've made his absence dramatically believable, since Phoebe and Paige are barely caring that he's gone? I think they've made the characters not care about them. I think he's probably gone for budget reasons, but I'm sorry to see him go. I think they've written him not to be a big part of their lives, so he isn't. What do you think about Phoebe's character this season? (I think she's become shallow, selfish, and uncaring.) She's bitter and unhappy. There's not a lot to do with her character. She's been bitten by the Season 6 "bad attitude" bug from "Buffy!"
What other shows are you really passionate about?
Others than the one's I've listed... Grey's Anatomy, Felicity, Charmed, Gilmore Girls, Popular, Roswell, X-Files, 24, The Practice, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Jem and the Holograms, Sex and the City, Saved by the Bell... and tons more!
Have you watched Grey's Anatomy?
Every week. I heart McDreamy. Patrick Dempsey is adorable, and the plots are great. Some of the episodes have had me in tears, especially the one with the two people with the poll in them.
Sorry for the multiple posts Maria... I'm at work and trying to sneak on the computer to try and answer these great questions!!

We like a lot of the same shows, Had.
What do you think makes a show one that you want to tune in for every week?
Do you think that your favorite shows have common elements that appeal to you?
Conversely, what makes a show something boring, or uninteresting to you. Were there shows you were excited to see premiere, only to lose interest one you watched them?
What fictional characters inspire you the most?
What parts of yourself do you hope to develop as you get older? What personal and maturity goals to you hope to reach (not in terms of external achievements, like career, but in terms of personal growth.)?

Mermaid Phoebe. She was adorable in that episode. My second choice would be a shirtless Cole of some kind. I've thought about doing a shirtless Cole, but I think it'd be hard to get his chest hair to look right. I've got a Cole in a white wife beater t-shirt in the works right now, using a The Ring Angel. I think it's a really good fit in terms of build. On the Phoebe thing, I have suspicion that Alyssa Milano's real personality is coming through, which is why the character has no real emotional depth. I think she's kind of just walking through the role. She hasn't shown any real emotion in years. I've been sad that they've wasted so many years on Charmed where they could have done some really cool stuff. The new writer is just so bad. Sorry, I wanted to respond to your great answers. That's interesting about your mom's take on theme parks. I'm sure it's hard dto make them safe with so many people doing dumb things.

Lilly Pulitzer, because it's the type of clothes I own. My mom's store is a Lilly Pulitzer signature >> www.underpalmtree.com - It's very pink and bright and I really enjoy the fit and style of the clothes. I just did a Mapquest on that place and it's about 15 minutes away from where my wife's brother lives! We both grew up in Shawnee and went to SMNW high school! Small world. Question: What movie or movies would surprise us that you like?

I like that last question.
On that note, what do you think would most surprise people about you, Hadley?

You're a Gilmore Girls fan, right? What do you think about how Rory's character has changed over the last year? If you were her friend, what advice would you give her about her actions and attitude? I'm a huge Gilmore Girls fan! I haven't been fond of Rory as much since she met Logan. I think it's because I feel like it would have been me if I stayed with a certain guy who is a Logan to the T. I thought episodes like "The Life and Death Brigade" with the paracuting was cute, but since then, I haven't liked how he's treated her or been with other girls when they were apart. It sounds so much like my ex-boyfriend that's its almost too close for comfort. The semi-tall, blonde-haired, silver-tongued, affluent, intelligent guy. I wish she'd go back to Jess, at least he genuinely loved her. What do you think about how Lorelai is not addressing her isses with Luke shutting her out of his relationship with his daughter? Do you think they'll break up? I didn't like the addition of the daughter to the show (she kind of annoys me) and I think it was to give Luke something to do. I think it could cause their break-up because Lorelei has always turned to Luke when it came to problems about Rory and now he's not doing the same, probably making her feel incompetant. What do you think of Lorelai's parents? I feel like I know people exactly like them. Not my own parents, but some friend's parents, or people out there. I don't like how they're condescending to Lorelei all the time, because she has done a lot with her life. I think deep down they have a softer side, and that it's just really hard to get too and comes out rarely. Are you happy that Lane's marrying that stoner guy, or do you think she could do better? She needs Adam Brody back!! I hate Zach and think she can do better. I'm not sure why Lane is settling, but I'm not happy with it. I wish she's gone out into the world instead of stayed in Stars Hollow. If Rory could have a new love interest, what do you think her ideal guy would be like? Jess. A sweet, suit-wearing, intelligent with his thoughts, money and plans, (kind of like he is now ' ) I think they'd be professional, grown up, and very in love. Maria - thank you for all the questions - I'll return to them when I get back for Easter brunch!
