hheheee. big erkle.

Next week's TV Guide, 50 Things To Love About TV:

#50
SPIKE
"The James Dean of the undead played with sardonic SEX APPEAL by James Marsters, brings a brutally carnal bite and a bitterly anguished heart to BtVS. Buffeted between evil and good, regaining his soul but losing his mind out of love for the Slayer(SMG). Spike is the sort of antihero fan-clubs were made for."

:huff: ...Well. I couldn't have said it better. "...regaining his soul but losing his mind out of love for the Slayer." I appreciate writers/journalists that know how to summarize well, and say a lot in a few words. It's something I'm constantly working on, myself.

"...the sort of antihero fan-clubs were made for."

Well, yeah. I'm in a few, in fact.

So I keep getting this email saying someone has a crush on me, from this website that collects emails, and if you guess the right one, it tells you who has you on their crush list.

It seems persistant, like it wants me to guess, becuase it keeps sending me "hints". But I look at how it all works and don't want to participate, because I don't want to give away all the emails of friends that I have in a vain effort to see if it works, when probably the other person doesn't even HAVE a crush on me, its just I got told because they used my email to fill a space.

But it IS tempting. I can see the draw.

Thanks, ipomoea for this awesome quiz.

I SWEAR, I didn't cheat. Frankly some of the answer options were too deep into fandom for me, and I got lost and jsut picked whatever was appropriate. And look what I got!


Which 'Buffy' Star Is Secretly Your Nemesis?
brought to you by Quizilla

Hee! Buttons. :grin:

And thanks stakebait for this cool quiz. I don't know what to make of it, but I like it.

If they told you I'm mad, then they lied. I'm odd, but it isn't compulsive. I'm the triolet, bursting with pride; If they told you I'm mad, then they lied. No, it isn't obsessive. Now hide All the spoons or I might get convulsive. If they told you I'm mad then they lied. I'm odd, but it isn't compulsive. What Poetry Form Are You?

And if I wasn't that, then apparently I'd be this:

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You?

I was playing around looking for this BtVS vid a german radio station put together, and I ran this one page (http://www.slayerhelp.com/news/viewalone.php?newsid=328) through atlavista's babelfish translator. It's analysis of NLM.

I thought this was so funny. It's the translation of a quote from the basement conversation.

"Have you more ever really asked yourself why you can't DO it? Off ME? After everything I've done ton you, ton people around you. It's emergency love. Incoming goods both know that."


^O^

::deep, spikey accent::

Oh no, Buffy! Emergency love, that incoming goods shalt never survive!!!

::snickering loudly::

Stupid translation sites are so fun, cause they're so wrong with what they come up with.

And this is great too:

"You need the pain incoming goods cause you. You need the hate. You need it tons of DO your job, ton the more slayer."

YES! Because god KNOWS, nobody hates import tax like the Slayer! All those expensive leather boots, and tarrifs drive the prices up!

And none of that's the best part. The best part is what the First Evil translates to:

ROOFRIDGE EVIL.

::could die laughing from the mental image. The uber-ugly vamp-master crouched on the roof of Buffy's house, banging on the window with sticks, to scare Dawn and make her scream::


Edited to add--
It took much investigation and rereading to realize that "fishing rod" was the mucked-translation for Angel. Heehehee.

partial fic

This is a post-NLM fic I started tonight.

It's like, the first two pages. Basically how the SG rescues Spike--- without the aid of fandom spoilers.

Yes, it's kinda crappy now, but I'll revise it later. Anyway, here ya go. Suggestions welcome.
