A bet a lot more women would like to be Emma Peel than Faith
Hee, oh yes! My brother used to dress up to be Steed and I'd be Emma Peel and we'd run around the house solving mysteries.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

On Buffy I think it was shy early-seasons Willow whose personality mine most resembled. Though I have tried to cultivate the tact-free/no BS aspects of Cordelia's in the intervening years.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I think I would be Willow-geekery, Giles-teachery, Kylie-sexxery, Cordy-bluntery and a wee bit o' Inara-glamorie.
With a soupcon of Mal-practicality meets cynical idealery.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
For the sociologists who are following at home, here's what I ended up with wrt Durkheim, suicides and super heros:
Buffy's suicide in 1x12: altruistic (too much integration)
Buffy's suicide in 5x22: fatalist (too much regulation).
Buffy's suicide in The Wish: egoistic (too little integration).
And, in what I interpreted as another suicide, Buffy's choice to leave a world in Normal Again: anomic (too little regulation).

How are what Buffy did in "Prophecy Girl" and "The Wish" considered suicides? She got taken down by the Master in a fight both times.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
At least in "Prophesy Girl" she knew for certain she would die. Sort of a twist on death by cop maybe?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I wondered the same thing. I wouldn't define "going into battle knowing that you *might* die" as suicide. For one, isn't a key element of suicide *desiring* to die? In "Prophecy Girl," Buffy says flat out that she doesn't want to die.
Otherwise we'd have to call all war-related military deaths suicides, and that doesn't sound right to me.

There's that, but she still said she didn't want to die. For me, that makes it not suicide.

In Durkheim the altruistic suicide doesn't exactly want to die; it's about sacrificing your life for the greater good (like a soldier).
