Took me a month or two, but here are my answers to the question's Rhia asked me.
> 1) If the Buffy Universe was real, and at age 15 you were saved from a really ugly demon by some slayer or other, how do you think you'd have turned out different (assuming you survived to age 25 at least)?I would be a warrior against the forces of evil and ( Read more... )

1) Hmmm... I think most people I hang around would say _basically_ the same thing. Not sure if it's really true of all of them, or if I just hang around with warrior types. Me, I'm sure I would have subsequently become a werewolf. Not on purpose or anything - it just would have happened about a year or two later. It just wouldn't be right, otherwise. ;p I would be very responsible about it, of course.
As for the AH comment, my question wasn't serious. I just like to tease you with my inability to fathom the appeal of alternate history. But I still like you. ;)
3) If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
5) Dream on buddy. ;p No seriously, I don't _know_ that about anybody, including myself. We've all got to follow our own paths. Nobody _knows_ anything, especially not about whether our _opinions_ and _beliefs_ are good or bad.
All I "know" is that I'm happier following my path than I could ever be following yours or anyone else's. With a lot of your beliefs, I've been there and done that for the most part. Rejected them as "not good for me" and found a new path. And yeah, I might even have to be evil or crazy to agree with you on some subjects (assuming you haven't changed your mind - you've been changing a lot lately). That's me though. I really don't know what's right for you. Maybe for you it would be far more wrong to believe what I believe. Or maybe I'm already the crazy one for all I _truly_ know. I just have to go by what feels right in my soul and hope for the best. So do you.
Now that we're not planning a future together, your beliefs don't bother me in the slightest. You gotta be you, and I wish you joy. I'm much more strict about who I'll make long term romantic commitments with than I am about who I'll like, respect, be friends with, have sex with, etc, etc. You certainly make the first cut of being "good people" in my world. You're healthy and joyful for me to have as a very close friend and a lover. That's about as good as most people are ever gonna get from me on my current path in life.
And I'm starting to doubt I'll ever make a serious long term romantic commitment in life anyway. Maybe that's just not the right path for me in this life. I know my requirements are absurdly stringent, but for now that's what's right for me, even if it means being alone. Maybe someday I'll have a different take on things, or maybe I'll just find a different route to joy. I guess I'm not that worried about it.
Anyway, I know that's not the response you wanted, exactly, but maybe it's better than nothing?
Well, thanks for answering my questions. I'd hoped for something more informative on the last one - probably could have guessed that answer, and where's the fun in that? - but they were all good and fun to read.
Love you,
Rhia
