Today's Thing of Awesome: my parents typically send me stuff for Easter (though not because we're religious, because we aren't--they send me stuff for Valentine's Day too). My mom sent me an email telling me that this year's offering would be "pitiful" due to the worsening economy. I didn't much care because usually they just give me candy and maybe jewelry, and I don't eat much candy or wear much jewelry. Except today I get my package and it's one of those cool pretty glass/ceramic/whatever eggs that open, and inside it was a few pieces of candy and $100.

I think my mom and I have different definitions of "pitiful". Whoo, unexpected money! :D

In other news, I stopped watching Buffy. I made it to early S3, but I kept getting annoyed with the relationship stuff. Heh. I was expecting to get depressed, if Joss made me care about a ship and then smashed it to pieces, but instead I'm annoyed. Last weekend I was obsessively watching it--watched S2 in two days--and ignoring important papers and all that. Now I just don't really care about watching it anymore.

That does not, however, stop me from wanting to read fic. WTF, self? Well, okay, Joss did depress me a bit because I find myself wanting to read Buffy/Angel, but it's a very new and odd thing for me to want to read fic about a show I lost interest in watching because it annoyed me.

Oh no!!! Keep watching Buffy, don't give up. There is so much more to come. Some not so hot, but some wonderfully fabulous! And Spike.... there so much more of Spike to come..... : ) Honest!

I need to get me a Spike icon.....

I didn't much care about Spike, to be honest. :p I didn't hate him, but I didn't love him either. He's not really much of an incentive. XD

Spike doesn't overly impress early on - but he does get better and develop as a character. But I suppose Buffy isn't for everyone, and no matter how much I gush about it, I can't make folks like it! LOL : )

Ooh, nice present from your mum! :D

And I think my thoughts on Buffy are remarkably similar to yours! I made it part way through s3 before the whiny relationship stuff got boring.

Hee. Sometimes I think we share a brain. XD

MY INNER 12 YEAR OLD LOVES THE WHINY RELATIONSHIP STUFF.

But wait. You could take the whole "I slept with my boyfriend and now he is killing people but WAIT now he has a soul again and I must kill him" thing in S2? Just checking. XD

Heh. Yeah, I could take tragic whiny relationship stuff, but I don't think there's anything that turns me off to something quicker than cheating. Willow and Xander pushed my big "I have no more patience for this" button. :p
