I've been living in the States (Philly, to be specific) for about eighteen months. I turned up on TT as a Time Online refugee, posting on religion and spirituality. (I'd been working through my issues from losing my religion, by way of a semester at Melbourne University on moral philosophy.)
I found the Buffistas during a couple of exploratory sorties around the site, Buffy being one of my favourite shows and lacking any other real outlet to discuss it. I think my first post was on Anselm's Ontological Proof. Expect such posts to be far outweighed in the future by postings on the mating habits of a wide array of wildlife (including, but not limited to, my siblings).
Damn, this feels weird. So much of my life was very different back then. This place has been one of the biggest constants in my life for the last twelve years.
I love this.
I wandered in here thanks to Topic!Cindy, who I knew from another board. I'm 37, my third child is not quite six months old, I'm realizing that post-partum depression might be something a little longer lasting, and I'm tired of talking to my local friends about parenting and nothing else.
Wow, throwback thread!
It has been a couple weeks since 9/11 and I can't bear to watch tv anymore so I am searching the internet for distraction and find Spike's Bitches. My kids are 7 and 9 and the amusing pron and smart banter is perfect diversion. Super excited to meet these people in Chicago next year!
I'm in my late thirties and I'm going through a very difficult divorce with my four year old son. I used to be a magazine editor but I've been working for a law firm lately. I'd like to get back to writing but I'm not sure how to make that happen. I have no idea how I'm going to manage single-parenthood; I worry how the divorce will affect my son. Not sure if I'm going to be able stay in San Francisco. I've wandered over from the the Divorce thread and the Buffy Quotes thread catches my attention. This show is funny! I should watch it. Betsy is intimidatingly cool and smart and together.
I saw this URL in something about saving Firefly and came to see what was what. Found my people.
I'm almost 40, living with my partner and our cat (singular). It's 9/11, and I can't deal with the news coverage that my partner insists on watching. I get on the computer and check out the boards where I've been lurking for months. It's finally time to start talking.
What year did the Buffy thread start on TT?
Buffy went on the air in March, 1997, and the TT thread started in May.
Hi. I'm...not as different as I would like to be, but I have better hair(and sadly a worse wheelchair) since I joined the board. After a few years, I could get my stories published, ignore the crazy peopleor fight with them and actually post some of the curse words that can be mainstays in my spoken speech.(That year, I was really concerned about how much to let gimptitude influence what I posted...was "coming out" the right way to go?)
