I love Savannah, it must be great to live close to the city and the coast. Such a beautiful, unique city.

Hey Cylinda, I live in Marietta too! Actually, I live a little SE of it near the river now, but I was born and raised in Marietta. Woo Hoo! Are you originally from here? 'cause if you are we can both pronounce it as 'May-retta.'

Hey Tyrex, too! I also think Savannah is a beautiful city. I usually make an annual trip there, but this year I decided to try Augusta instead. Ick. Won't make that mistake again. Say hi to the Tybee Island lighthouse for me.

My name is Karen and I am a lurker extraodinaire. I actually can't believe that I am de-lurking. My girlfriend is going to kill me when she finds out. She's already threatening to do an intervention because I spend so much time and energy on all things Buffy.

I'm 29 years old and I live in Boston, but I'm an Air Force Brat who has lived in 12 different states. I'm essentially from Texas (that's where I went to high school and college).

I used to be an advocate at a battered women's shelter, but now I'm an attorney who makes the world safe for Intellectual Property (licensing and trademarks are my specialty).

I used to be a huge X-Men fan (thus the UserName) and I'm currently a big fan of this board. So, thanks for all of the hard work you put into it! I don't know how often I'll de-lurk, but I just wanted to say "thank you" and keep up the good work!

Peace

HI!!!

I think I am nearing the point of a professional lurker, but everyone on this list just seemed so nice, and they actually seemed to like each other. So, I decided to take the chance and sign on.

I'm Evie. I'm from St. Louis, where I work in advertising. I'm 27 years old and live my girlfriend of eight years in a house with two dogs and two cats.

We are both absolutely obsessed with the Willow/Tara relationship. And what else. . . . I love this list!

That's it.

BYE

Hi there

My names ryan and I just recently joined this group. I live in Vancouvewr, BC, Canada and attend CDIS studying web administation/design (15 more months to go...woo hoo!!)
I've been watching Buffy on and off for a few years now but never became as into it as I have since Tara showed up. Willow was the reason I used to watch it but now with her new relationship...fantastic!!Best thing on TV (like you all didn't already know that!)
Free nude pix on the Internet, I think you'll all do just fine on you own.
I basically hang out with my girlfriend, study, drink, listen to music/shows, drink, tell my parents I need money...then go to shows/drink with it.
And listen to a lot of punk rawk...

ciao fer now
ryan

I have watched Buffy from the get-go, avoiding ridicule from my parents (what's that corny TV) and those of my peers...and have been vindicated by BtVS increasing popularity. Weirded out sometimes at the parallels between Willow's life and my own (minus the wicca and fantasy stuff). Live in the beautiful Vancouver, BC among the mountains, sea and rain.

Worked in publishing as book editor, and am now with hi-tech firm. I like this chat site because 1. people posting are actually intelligent and fun
2. it's about one of my favorite couples on TV.

hi Popje

I wanted to wait unti we got to 100 before I posted.

My name is Paula and I am an American living in New Zealand. I am one of the more mature (age wise only) people in this wacky group of W/T lovers. I am in the IT industry (and have beeen since before dirt). I have been watching Buffy since day 1 but just joined the Buffy internet circle when Tara appeared. Yup the day after I saw Hush I jumped on the net and started to search for all things Buffy. let's see...I love the following(not in any order): Archaeology (hey I was there), Music, Xena(well actually Renee), Voyager (J/7 and B/7...hey 7 gets around), Movies, Art, Theatre, watching some sports (rugby, handball, basketball and field hocky), anything metaphysical, Reading (FF has had my attention most of the time recently), yacking with friends and hanging online with the W/T sweeties.
Oh yeah rain has a very strange effect on me (hehehehehe).

Cheers
Paula

Hey everyone,
I've been lurking around since the board started, and now my exams are done with I can post an intro.
I'm Bernie, 17, live in the wonderful sunny island state of Singapore. If you're wondering, that's in South East Asia. Yeah, that's right, about half the hemisphere away from most of you guys (except you all in Australia).
We get Buffy here too, and I love the Willow/Tara pairing, and this board with all its enthusiastic members is a godsend. Love it!

Oh horray! Intro things. I've been lurking around for a while now. But I just can't help and join in all this crazy fun.
I'm feeling all little now. My name is Cara, I'm only 15, I live in Northern Michigan, and have three kitties. I'm in 10th grade. . .pretty much the class clown, but still an A student.
I've never seen any episodes of Buffy before Graduation Part 1. Although I have gone through all the transcripts. I've never actually been able to get The WB till now, and have been hooked ever since I saw season four. Mostly, though, it's all about W/T. Thats what got me into the whole net community, which I love so much!
I don't know what else to say. . .I love this bored. I was big into the Bronze for a bit, but haven't been there in ages. Had a website for a bit. . .The Extra Flamey Candle, but lack of time has caused me to shut it down.
And back to the lurky place I go. . .

Woo, we broke the hundred post barrier! Where's our treat Zelda?! (Oh, you thought I had forgotten, but oh no)

And hi to the Utena fan. Can you imagine how freaked out Buffy fans would be if we had W/T behaving for one episode like Utena and Anthy? Heck, or Utena and Wakaba. Their heads would explode, I fear.

Hohoho a little late but nonetheless I shall introduce myself...

Howdy folks my name is Jennifer, been lurkin recently but have come to the decision now would be a good time to show my little face.

Im currently 20 years old, a third year genetics major at the wonderfully crazy UC Berkeley, Cal to those in the know.
Originally from Los Angeles, I must say Im downright jealous of all the filming thats going on right now around my old stomping ground...Id be sneaking around griffith park tonight if i werent up here studying for my midterm grrrrrrrrrr!

As for Buffy...cant say ive been a longtime fan...but that it was the whole Willow/Tara development that brought me on board. It took me a week to trade enough anime to collect seasons 1-4 and of course I succumbed to the goddesses that are Willow and Tara! Its amazing how genuine and sincere their relationship is...Amber and Aly do a fab job. It makes me shiver when things they do remind me of me and my own girlfriend.

One last thing, HELLyes those two should be going to Cal! Not UCSC...they have the minds which would be more appreciated here! Yay for brilliant gorgeous crunchy Berkeley girls!!!!!!!! (ok im biased...)

Hey Revolutionary Girl Utena I have to stick up for my old school and say Go Berkley! I also lived in L.A. then headed up to Cal. Yes our witches would fit in just fine there. Welcome to the board!

Hello everyone. My name is Susan. I am 18 living in Michigan and currently a senior in high school. I never watched Buffy, it didn't interest me. " Hush " was the first episode I saw and that was only because my best friend loves the show and coaxed me into watching. Though I laughed a lot, I wasn't hooked.
The next time I watched I would not escape the claws of addiction. " Who are you" was my second Buffy episode. The scene between Willow and Tara when Tara declares that she is Willow's melted my heart. I was hooked. It's kind of funny because after that scene I knew that there was obviously something between them. My best friend disagreed with me. I got five bucks after she lost that bet. :0)
I am not ashamed to admit that I live vicariously through them. Everyone who knows me believes that I live in a dream world and have no concept of reality. I think it's because of my idealistic nature. If there is someone out there as sweet and shy as Tara with Amber's beauty I hope I find her. And maybe it's far from realistic but I hope we fall in love and only love and desire each other more as the days pass until we reach the shadows of eternity.
Enough of my endless babble. Makes you wonder why I'm single hu? ;0)

And hi to the Utena fan. Can you imagine how freaked out Buffy fans would be if we had W/T behaving for one episode like Utena and Anthy? Heck, or Utena and Wakaba. Their heads would explode, I fear.

utena and anthy? oi! that would be freakish...i cant imagine either willow or tara acting like anthy...i mean tara may be shy and perhaps the type whod be submissive, but i doubt shed put up with bitch slappin!
i could see wakaba and utena though! that would cute...i guess willow would fit more into wakabas shoes than tara..but tara certainly is no utena. either way its an entertaining thought. ^^;;

my personal fave is juri though. and yep april ive seen esca. i have the series subbed. i was van for an anime convention last year ^^;; we had a folken dilandau and meruru! twas much fun. though i made a crappy van...me being a girl and all..hohoho

and im sorry about my ucsc comments ^^;; i really have nothing against the school or city! i was just being selfish and wanting willow and tara here all to myself ive fantasized of them spending a semester here...heck so much other stuff is filmed around this place. but well..they cant leave hellmouth can they?

Well I'm a newbie here. My name is Amanda and I'm 19 years old. I currently live in Cincinnati, Ohio and I go to the University of Cincinnati. I have no major except the undecided kind. Very indecisive here. Been enjoying this board for awhile finally decided to join in on all the fun. My friends and I used to have Buffy/Angel night up at the dorms but now it has moved to my house seeing that the crowd is too big, wish you could all be there, but wow, that would be a huge crowd. Oh well, I'll just have to get a big screen tv and put it on the deck and we can all sit in the backyard. All to watch the good Willow/Tara action.

Can you have a party sometime when I'm likely to be able to attend? I mean....sigh....it's not like I don't care or nothin'...I'm just stuck here in Bad Old Blighty watching the rain and S4 without Tara. It's bad. All demony badness.

Maybe I'll have a w/t posting board party on my own.

If anyone wants to come, it's Stockport you're looking for....heh heh...

Ok, a little information about me.

I don't post here much (Hangs head in shame), but I can be found a number of other places.

Vital Stats:

Gary Thompson: SWM 30'ish, 5'6" Brown hair, Green Eyes. Could stand to lose 20-30 lbs

I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where I currently reside. I've been all over the US, but I keep coming back here for some reason.

I'm a professional computer person. Technician, programmer, user, tutor, website designer, pretty much anything I can get my hands on.

Been working on computer for most of 20 years. Started way back in the old days on the original Apple ][.

Got into Buffy near the end of the first season when it first aired. Been watching it ever since.

I currently run a fanfiction website called Between The Sheets that holds fanfiction for any tv series I can get. Although it is mostly Buffy (almost 400 stories! Shameless plug. )

That's about it for me. I'm really rather dull...

- The Psycho

P.S. If you want to hear about my nickname... you'll have to ask nicely.
