FWIW, Matt tBF said what I had to say on the Gay Now topic. I've known people who were engaged to people of the other sex at one point, who would now NEVAH EVAH think of sleeping with opposite sex and aren't attracted to them. I personally did the swing way gay, swing back to middle thing. There are so many factors involved...

Being married during Gay Swings? Sometimes weird. Makes me want a gender swap kit for the husband.

Yeah. I'm still waiting for the day when there is a recurring, believable, BUTCH lesbian character on TV.

Want a good bi first. Drat it. She can date a butch.

At work tonight I was just wondering to myself the whole entire time who would end up being the most successful post-Buffy actor.

I figure Hannigan will do pretty damn good. I don't know about Gellar, I really don't. I hope she succeeds, but feel like she might want too much money and get into some movies that flop. Marsters should land directly on his feet with his sexyness and not have trouble finding work. I do worry that Nicky B. is gonna get type cast as the goofy guy, but wanna see him succeed the most if anything to shut up my friend that says all he can do is goof.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hee. Check ebay. They got everything else.

I get this. If I end up with a boy, he's going to have to be respectful of my gayness, and not in a "S'long as I can watch, cuz baybee that's HOT" way. And girl would have to respect the boylust. ::sigh:: A good friend of mine told me she thought I'd marry a guy and have affairs with women, which freaked me out b/c in the past I've been Little Miss Not-so-Faithful and I'm working hard not to do that anymore. And jokes aside, I don't think polyamory is for me.

Yeah. I'm still waiting for the day when there is a recurring, believable, BUTCH lesbian character on TV.

OMG, heaven! A bi who's not a slut, and an actual butch, my-bra-size is-XL-b/c-I-only-own-sports-bras, short-haired, muscled arms, tough but tender butch! Why don't we make TV shows?

edit

Meant to respond to gleebo, too. My hopes are on Aly and Nick. SMG can take care of herself, I guess. I do worry about her judgment a bit.

I have this odd feeling that Michelle Trachtenberg is gonna be pretty huge in the biz. Although she has been in it for a long time.

I wanna see Tom Lenk for a long time.

Besides, she was willing to magic him into a her.

That wasn't my besides, it was my point. You can't put it as easily into "that's just Willow's mindset" when even the unstoppable magical forces have a "gay now" theme.

EDIT: Rereading my first post, I see why no one got my point: the post's a disaster. I'll try to restate. The argument "Willow's bi, she just doesn't call herself that for whatever reason" is most damaged by the events of "Him". One would expect her to be willing to find a male attractive with such a simple and all-powerful "see jacket, love boy" spell, if she were going to be willing at all.

Alyson Hannigan has been in a number of reasonably successful movies since starting on Buffy, including the two American Pie movies with a combined domestic gross of over $246 million. While Sarah's been the lead more often, pretty much every such movie has vanished at the box office—she's only had really notable success when playing second fiddle to a CGI great dane.

Yeah I don't want to but I think we have to mention "Simply Irresistable" just for fun.

I enjoyed SMG in Scooby Doo for some odd reason.

I have a feeling that if "Romantic Comedy" flops that people are gonna never let her hear the end of her decision to end Buffy and pursue movies. Although that wasn't what she said, it feels like what she meant. I understand her decision to quit, but no matter what she does, she will always be Buffy Summers to me.

Then again Alyson Hannigan will always be Willow. Nick Brendon will always be Xander, and ASH will always be Giles. No matter what they do.

I actually liked Simply Irresistable, but unfortunately I was one of about 5 people who did.

I don't have much difficulty seeing most of the ME actors as the new characters they play—I was aware of ASH and Alyson before their stints on Buffy, ("Say my name, bitch!" didn't hurt, either...) and Sarah's assorted films and SNL appearances have differentiated her from the character for me. But despite my love for Psycho Beach Party I saw Nick as Xander on a surfboard throughout.

it is a sign of my poor taste that AH is almost as much Michelle as Willow in my mind, although, I will state, I always forget the part where she was FPJ's girlfriend at the beginning of Boys and Girls, because I try to forget that movie, but I own AP1 & AP2, and plan to see the third opening weekend. I irrationally love those movies.

It may help a bit that the first image I get when thinking about Alyson is not any of her roles, but instead her in that Tigger suit at the Playboy Mansion Halloween party.
