I've been lurking since the end of '99 and I'm not a freako!
But how can we be sure?
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, I've been lurking since the end of '99 and I'm not a freako!
My ploy worked! (Bwahahaha) I knew I'd draw out somebody with that one. Hey Sassy. Careful. I delurked less than a month ago - and look at me. All addicted and greeting people. It's a slippery slope.

of course part of me was thinking - "just kick his ass already." That would be the part of me that has trouble doing the fiction/reality separation thing...
Oh yeah. I caught minutes of either one of the I Know What You Did Last Summer films, or the Scream sequel SMG was in, and remember sitting on my couch, with my tummy in knots, thinking, "Kick his ass Buffy; don't just scream and run like a wussy."
And then he started asking about their birth control methods....
Were I her, I'd have been so tempted to reply "We watch you, Howard, and it puts us off sex entirely."

"You got twelve, and they got twelve. The old ladies are just as good as you are." -Dr. Einstein
Did we all see the article by Emily Nussbaum in the Sunday NYTimes? "Sick of Buffy Cultists? You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet."
If not, a couple of great quotes:
"Just because our show has been staked through the heart...doesn't mean that our fanhood has ended with it. At last we can start living in the past."
"Now everything is spoiled and we can settle in and enjoy-treat the story as one big satisfying narrative. Few shows reward rewatching as much as Buffy, a series which might appear campy at first sight, but over time reveals as many layers as Tony Soprano's Oedipal complex."
I have the first six seasons now on DVD and I've decided to watch them all in order from the start.

MAL: Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.
"I have the first six seasons now on DVD and I've decided to watch them all in order from the start."
I watched my seasons 1-4 DVDs last week and for a while was all plump with Buffy satisfaction but now I have to wait for the release of Seasons 5, 6, 7 and I'm starting to jones. Need more Buffy!
And about the de-lurking. Yeah, I've been lurking for quite awhile. I just de-lurk, make a comment and then leave again to have people say, "Who the hell was that?" and I'm not a freako either. I think.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not that there's anything wrong with being a freako. Not around these parts.

Nothing wrong at all.
Now - Do I go home and start my Season 4 DVDs from the beginning or skip right to the ones that have commentary???? (sorry, taunting again)
