Yay! the hot seat:
Well, I am 22 (going to be 23 in May). I am a grad student going for my license as a therapist/counselor, but my true secret dream is to be a tattoo artist. I have about 20 tats, including a Spike/Angel one that will soon include Illyria. I love all things Buffy/Angel/Joss, of course, but other shows I have liked are: Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Robot Chicken, Family Guy, and such. I LOVE animals and have 4 cats that are like my kids: Lestat, Enkil, Akasha and Maharet. (Yes, I also love Anne Rice). I love to read, mostly Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, etc.

[tommieandgary13]

questions.....
1 What got you into watching Buffy and Angel?
2 What one item or figure would you love to add to your Buffy collection?
3 If you had a chance to sit down and talk with one actor or actress from eiither show who would it be?
4 What if any item was the biggest let down to find it wasn't being produced or released?
5 What one 6inch figure and sideshow would you love to see?

[spikeluv13]

1 What got you into watching Buffy and Angel? I slipped on some ice and fell onto the corner of a concrete step then bounced to the next step. I shattered my spine without knowing it. Disc fluid leaked out and cut of my sciatic nerve. I was paralysed for over a year and a half (close to 2 years). My friends knew I was bored, because I couldn't really do anything...we lived on the second floor of an apartment building, so just getting outside sucked. The town I was going to college in (Where this all happened) only got one tv station. My friends gave me seasons 1 & 2 to watch. Instantly in LOVE. I watched them over and over until I finally got season 3....I saw Spike kick that wheelchair and I was determined to get out of mine. I got the rest of the seasons (as I could afford them, I got them) and eventually found a doctor who knew how to fix me. 11 months ago I had surgery and guess what?? I can walk!! Last August I got to tell James how he inspired me to walk again (at dragon*con) and I have a picture of the look on his face when I told him that....priceless moment. He was speechless for a second, then said "I really tried to break that thing!!" (in regards to the wheelchair). So I have loved and cherished Buffy for only a few years (i watched some eps while it was on, but I didn't have time to watch the series at that point--working 3 jobs and going to high school!!) but my love for the show runs very deep. It means more than most people think!! Long answer, but that's why I love buffy!!

2 What one item or figure would you love to add to your Buffy collection? Prop from James/Spike. I always see tees and rings, etc from the show for him, but they get so expensive!!

3 If you had a chance to sit down and talk with one actor or actress from eiither show who would it be? James Marsters. got to briefly meet him, but he is such a great guy and has a wonderful point of view/view of the world.

4 What if any item was the biggest let down to find it wasn't being produced or released? The amends snow globe. I loved all the 6" figures that were to be released and those hurt, but the amends snow globe was an awesome collectible. I love that ep!!

5 What one 6inch figure and sideshow would you love to see? Sideshow: ILLYRIA! how cool would that be??!! maybe the exclusive could be a different head (Fred's). How awesome. As for 6"...hmmm....Connor. I really liked the guy and even if dst messed his outfit, etc up, at least we would have a head for customs. His likeness would have to be done well, though!!
