I loved your answers for my other questions (I agree on most of em)
- If given a chance, would you change any historical event? - If The WB gave you control of their company, what shows would you remove/bring back? - If you could have picked ANY actress to be Buffy, would you have still chosen Sarah Michelle Gellar? - Do you think Dawn should have died in "The Gift" rather then Buffy? - If you could rule any country, which would it be? - If there was only indangered animal you could save, which would it be? - DST or MAC Cordelia Figures?

Kinda of a dark question here: You had the ability to make one person in the world dissappear. Who would it be and how would you have them done in?

Maybe we should give the girl a break. GP, your answers have been most thoughtful and thought-provoking. I have loved reading them. (I'd save Martha, as I figure Hilary could save herself)

I haven't seen Rent yet, but I love Chicago, so I'd have to say Chicago I avoid both like the plague and taste no discernible difference. If I need a pick me up drink I have hot chocolate. If I need a serious pick me up drink, I have organic green tea. Buffy the vampire slayer or angel the series? I enjoy Buffy more, with exception of AtS season 5 Piper, Pheobe, Prue or Piper, Pheobe, Paige? I think I'm the only Charmed fan in the world to think this, but I'd prefer Phoebe, Paige, and Prue. I know that isn't an option, but I can't stand Piper. She's so mean and nasty. All she ever does is complain. If Phoebe had Piper's powers to freeze and blow things up, Piper would lift right out. Leo could have been with Prue. I love Leo, but not that bitchy Piper. She's everything I dislike in a person. I don't get why people like her so much. SVU is too dark for me. All the creepy serial killers and sexual predators leave me feeling really slimed. On the other hand, I love CI. It's far-fetched, but Vincent D'Onofrio always gets his murderer (with the exception of that slippery Nicole). Dogs. My personality is very much like a dog's. I feel like I'm my cat's servant. It's all about him. I don't like that. In fact, he just came and sat on my keyboard a minute ago. Now I'm having to pet him and type in this awkward position. It's hurting my back! Buffy Questions-- Amy madison good or evil? I don't think she started out evil, but she definitely gave into the dark side somewhere along the way. Maybe it was all those years in the cage that turned her. Oh, my blondie bear all the way! I only really liked Angel the character when he was being goofy and vulnerable, or when he was fighting. He's hot in a fight. But really I love Spike and Angel best when they're together. Who was best with Willow, oz, tara, or kennedy, or Malcolm:)? Malcolm and Willow, I just don't get why those two crazy kids couldn't make it work. Oh yea, he was a demon trying to take over the world! I answered this one before. I think that Tara was best for Willow, though I didn't like Tara's personality. I liked Kennedy a lot more than other people did. Oz was great until he left her in such an irresponsible, cold way. That was unforgivable. Best with Xander, Cordelia or Anya? I can't say either of them was his soulmate. It's too bad he and Willow couldn't have had a real relationship. I hate to have to choose. I mean, Buffy's my girl, but I like Faith, both as a villian and a seeker of redemption. I'd still love to see Faith have her own series Should Joyce have ended up with Giles? God no! I loved their Band Candy escapades, but I'm not a Joyce fan. I wish he'd had more of a go of it with Jenny. She was good for him. She brought him out of his shell.

Seeing as it is your screen name and ties directly into your profession, How do you feel about the Spice Girls? They sorta' brought the phrase "Girl Power" into public conciousness but I can't decide if it was in a positive way. Clearly, I love the phrase "girl power." I'm glad that they made that popular. But the Spice Girls were bimbos. They didn't have any girl power. If they made girls like the idea of girl power, then that's great. I can't say I hated them. I thought their music was catchy, but I wouldn't have bought a CD. Scantily clad role models aren't good for little girls. I don't like that they had such a following among elementary school girls. But I honestly think that Britney Spears, TV advertising, and the Clinton sex scandal have done more damage to our young people in sexualing them at an early age and making them think that certain sexual behavior is casual and not to be taken lightly.

Just wanted to say "cool"! I live in the Bay Area (well, going to colllege here in NY)...grew up in Cupertino (right near San Jose). Okay....let's think of a good question. If they were to remake a Disney movie in live action, which one would you choose? Who would play in it, what would the tone be...would you change the story? What would it be rated (anything you want)? Cool, Willfan! I love your question, BTW. This one is a no brainer for me. I adore the movie Pocahontas. It's spiritual and has a good message. It focuses on the mysticism of nature, how there is a spirit in all things. It also addresses how people of different cultures dehumanize each other, because they don't understand eachother. I'd make it with Tia Carrera in the lead role. Graham Greene would be Pocahontas' father. I don't really have a thought on who would be John Smith. I'd say Colin Ferrell, but he's such a bad guy. Cute, but just a really bad guy.

I loved your answers for my other questions (I agree on most of em) Thanks DigiLee. What did and didn't you agree with? BTW, I'm madly in love with your Wonder Woman banner. That is awesome. - If given a chance, would you change any historical event? The holocaust springs to mind, or Lincoln getting shot. That messed up the Restoration. I think the south and institutionalized racism would have gone a whole different way if Lincoln had been there to oversee it. His predecessors gave in to the demands of the southerners in power. That was not Lincoln's plan. His death was a great loss. Another one I wish someone would have stopped was 9/11. It was a horrible tragedy, that has resulted in nothing but bad changes for our country. If The WB gave you control of their company, what shows would you remove/bring back? I don't have a lot of strong opinions on this one. Obviously, I would bring back Angel. But I think that's impossible at this point. Everyone's moved on, especially David Boreanaz. I don't think he'd do it at this point. I just wish we'd gotten a sixth season. It sounds like there was great stuff planned, especially Fred being brought back and changing into Illyria for battles. How cool would that have been? I want to know if that means Fred's soul wasn't destroyed after all. I really hated that plot point. I don't even think it's possible to destroy a soul. If you could have picked ANY actress to be Buffy, would you have still chosen Sarah Michelle Gellar? Hands down. SMG was amazing in that role. I can't believe her range as an actress. She is Buffy, to me. I don't think I've ever seen a character with more depth and texture as Buffy. I can't imagine anyone else in the role. I've heard that they had been planning on Charisma for Buffy, or at least considering it. I've tried, but I can't picture it. I like Buffy petite, and, well, Sarah. Do you think Dawn should have died in "The Gift" rather then Buffy? Man, every time I watch the Gift, I wish Buffy would just push Dawn off the tower and be done with it. LOL. Obviously, there was a lot in that sacrifice. But I think that it was a selfish choice for Buffy too. She didn't have to face grieving Dawn, but left Dawn alone and the world without a slayer (since another one wouldn't be called as long as Faith lived). That tombstone "She Saved the World A lot) breaks my heart every time I see it. I knew she was coming back, but I still cried. To trade Buffy for Dawn? That's not a fair trade. I couldn't stand Dawn in season 5. I was OK with her by season 7, but I never thought she brought anything important to the plot, except being a key. But anything could have been the key. Plus, I really hate how the whole cast is supposed to remember everything differently than we do about the past. It corrupts the show. If you could rule any country, which would it be? The US. I love it here, and it has the power to make positive changes in the world, if we could just get rid of that pesky, corrupt Congress. If there was only indangered animal you could save, which would it be? White tigers? I don't know too much about endangered species, but I've heard that Alaska is now overrun with bald eagles. How weird is that? DST or MAC Cordelia Figures? I've been contemplating this one and suddenly the Mac ones are looking really good to me. But I'm excited about the new line, too. Until I have them in my hands, I don't think I'll know for sure. Hopefully, they will still make some changes to the Princess.

Kinda of a dark question here: You had the ability to make one person in the world dissappear. Who would it be and how would you have them done in? Willfan and Gerry, you two are so DARK! I read this question last night and thought about it the whole way driving to the airport to pick my husband up from a business trip. I don't believe in murder. I believe in karma and wouldn't want to have the power to have someone disappeared. I don't think anyone should have that power over another. But if I could have someone taken away from society, it would definitely be all child molesters and rapists. They cannot be rehabilitated. It's proven, at least in the case of child molesters. If I can only have one person removed from society for life, then I'd pick this one child molester who hurt a child I know. I'm doing what I can to make that happen anyway. It's amazing how little the police will do.

Who is your favorite celebrity couple? This is sad, because it was Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson. Shallow, I know, but I thought they were cute and sweet together. He's so hot, too. I still like him. Now I have to think. Who's still together? I'd say Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, but she's had so much plastic surgery that she looks weird to me. I guess probably Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. I don't follow their lives, but they seem nice. I've heard they do good work. Oprah and Stedman would be another one.

Great read! I love getting to know other collectors more in depth.
Wifes Question: As a B&A collector,do you have a grail? If so what is it?
She had another but you already answered it. *(what 1 figure you would want most of all if you were making the decisions.)

I had a grail. I was searching for Drusilla's human-faced statue for a long, long time. I bought one online, but they made a mistake and it turned out the one they had was the vamp face. I didn't even know they made a vamp faced one. I bought it and kept looking for the human-faced one.
Then I finally got a human-faced one last November. Shortly after unpacking it, I noticed that there was a chip in the paint. I'm sure it happened at my house. Just goes to show you that you can't put your happiness into physical things. They are only temporary.
But now I have quite the little Drusilla lair with a number of Drus and two Dru statues. I'll have to get pictures.

It's not like a big surprise, or anything. However, I'm going to wait until I get a picture to talk about it on this thread. It will be in the next day or two, when I get my butt in gear and take a picture. I think it's fun that I'm known as the Darla fences girl. I mean, it's good to be known as SOMETHING.

Basketball or Football? Are those my only choices? Neither, but especially not football. Well, and especially not volleyball. I don't like competitive sports. I always feel so sad for the losers! And football is a whole other thing with the machismo and the way the coaches beat the humanity out of the players, and how they trained my brother in high school, and how a group of football players gang raped my best friend in high school. It's a whole thing. And VOLLEYBALL! Ouivay! I know that wasn't a choice. But it's a sport that I hate with my very soul. (If souls can hate. I don't know.) It's a whole other thing with always hitting the ball behind my head, and my wrists swelling up to baseball size (not volleyball sized, thank God!), and getting picked last, and some people starting a volleyball game right in the middle of my outdoor wedding without asking me. It was 12 years ago and I still can't stand the site of a volleyball net. OK, I'm back. Favorite kind of car? Mako Shark. Hmmmm.... sexy. Best year of high school? I don't think I had a good year of high school. I was really happy that weekend that I graduated AND got to make out with a guy I'd had a crush on since I was 13. Good weekend. Best Friend? My husband. I don't have a best girl friend. I wish I did, but none of my friends really qualifies as best friend material. I used to be sad about that, but I've accepted it. I'm really grateful that I have my husband. Favorite Sport? I was a ballet dancer until I was in grad school. That's the closest thing to sports that I do. Sometimes I can stand ice skating, until they give the scores, then I get all sad again (see above).

Favorite season of buffy? Either 2 or 3. I think I like 2 the most, with Spike, Dru and Angelis. There are so many great moments in that season. I also love season 3 with Faith and the Mayor. Both had fantastic finales, though I hated all the angst between Buffy and Angel in season 3. I just fast forward through any part that has their theme music, making mocking comments about how much pain they are in to myself. It's how I separate myself from the pain. Favorite season of Angel? Season 5! Spike and Angelly goodness. Those two were the best pair in entertainment history, IMHO. I don't know if you take Buffy magazine, but do you have a favorite issue? I don't have a subscription, but I buy it fairly frequently. I like all the issues. Movie that you can't wait to come to theaters? (That you know is coming out:)) The next Spiderman should be fun. I'm bummed that Pierce Brosnan won't be Bond anymore, so I'm not looking forward to Bond movies anymore. I'm hoping that V is For Vendetta is good. I like fun action movies, like The Matrix. Book the you want to be made into a movie? One of favorite books is called, Lamb: The Story of Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend. It's just hilarious. But it'd probably be banned by all the usual suspects. Old tv show (not buffy or angel) that you want to see a reunion episode of? Xena, though I think it'd be too sad now that Kevin Smith can't reprise his role as Ares and Xena has been killed off. That was a dumb way to end the series, if you haven't read my comments to that effect before.

What is your favourite character on "Friends"? Chandler! Then, in order, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, and Ross. Monica doesn't rate at all, because she's just mean and annoying, IMHO. At the risk of sounding like Bones, I have no idea what that means. I was an English lit major and I'm a writer, but I don't read any fiction. So DVD it is. Italy. Nothing personal, France, but both Sting AND George Clooney have digs there. Need I say more? Where you dream to go?[/quote] I've traveled a lot in my life. I've pretty much been everywhere I want to go. I'd need to get over my crippling back problems to travel internationally again. But I do hope that there is some kind of heaven. I really hope to see my grandfather and childhood dog again some day. What the travel of your honeymoon? ( you have said that you are married and i am very curious lol) We just went to San Francisco and saw the Phantom of the Opera (that was my FIRST marriage. For the second one, we didn't really have a honeymoon, but together we've been to Thailand, England, Scotland, Italy, and the Bahamas, Victoria Island in Canada, and on an Alaska cruise.
