Still watching old episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. "Giles I'm sixteen years old. I don't wanna die." And she tries to convince herself that she doesn't care, that she chooses her life over the fate of the whole world. All this in the middle of friendship troubles and broken hearts. This one of the few moments in the series that I actually liked the character of Buffy.

It was really, really strange watching the show when I did, because I was sixteen with Buffy and the gang, and seventeen, and eighteen. I went through high school, graduated when they did. All my friends in the fandom were older and mostly still are. In my real life, I only knew one other person who watched the series and enjoyed it as much as I did. Alicia and I bonded over it every week. We laughed and gossiped and no one else understood, but she got it. I got it.

Holy cow, did one of the Hanson brothers do a gap ad back in the day? It's so weird to watch the commercials that came with the shows. I have so many tapes of BtVS and even some of season one of Angel. It's strange to hear the old commercials and the old news briefs.

I want to write some season one and season two based stories. Little snippets maybe, character-driven moments in time. I usually drabble in Faith snippets, but I'd like to do some Willow and Xander bits, maybe a little Oz, and even some Giles and Jenny.
