In that, Matt and I are one. But I am a huge Willow-identifier anyway, for the most part.

Anyone feel like sharing "weirdest moment where I identified with a character on Buffy?"
First let me state explicitly that I did not identify with Warren at all, at any time, but to combine the weirdest moment & previously themes, I let out a whoop of joy when Tara got shot & I repeated it every time it was in a previously and/or flashback. There was nothing wrong with the character/storyline in theory, but in practice she sucked the life out of the show at least during S5 & S6 (& I didn't really care for her in S4 either). I was delighted when they got rid of her. And if it would have been a Kennedyesque magic bullet that also took out Dawn, who would have inadvertently staked Spike on her way to the floor (my other "just get rid of them already" betes noires), I would have turned into Angelus so perfect would have been my happiness. Not to sound misanthropic or anything.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Well I wouldn't have thought it had you not pointed me out.
Huh. Maybe the 15 THOUSAND conversations about this we have had have sunk in. Cool.
Mwah!

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out
I was thinking about this last night and realized that another one of those moments for me was Angel in the hospital being confronted by X, W, and G in Graduation Day. Everyone looking at you like their lives would be so much better if you weren't in them causing them grief and trouble even when you didn't mean to? Yeah, I've been there.

joe b, you and my DH are of one mind in this.
I'm with Jenny G., but honestly most of my identify moments weren't weird, they were times the viewer was supposed to identify. I think. Although maybe identifying with Andrew in oven mitts getting my butt kicked in the kitchen.

"weirdest moment where I identified with a character on Buffy?"
Xander in Fear, Itself. 'Cause I've had dreams where no one seemed to pay any attention. Very, very creepy and scary.
Also, Anya. 'Cause I often make jokes in groups, whether they're appropriate or not, and can attest to the awkwardness when they aren't.

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