Yes--OMG she's back again whoa.

4, 6, and 7... I knew we were kindred spirits!

I have never been able to clasp anything behind me either. My arms just don't bend that way, dangit!

I lothe spiders. The way they move is not normal, with their legs going up over their bodies like that and skittering along the surface. *shudders* I can't even look at pictures of them, they freak me out so badly. I have a recurring nightmare where giant spiders are taking over the world and crawling on everything and everyone, and everyone but me is acting like it's normal. I wake up just as they surround me to attack.

I was convinced that I was part mermaid when I was a kid, and that that was why I was put up for adoption, cause I wasn't fully mermaid, so I couldn't live in the water like my mother. I love that you thought God was going to make you a mermaid! So funny!

I already did my 7 a while ago, but if I get the time/inclination I might do it again...

Well, as much as I love Spuffy, I must admit that I think James is right, Spike was too good for Buffy and the way she treated him! If she just would have admitted to herself that she loved him and treated him better, then I would be a more enthusiastic Spuffy supporter. Sorry!

I'm constantly amused at all these little things you and I keep finding in common! It's awesome :) Funny how you can think you're totally alone in your ways and if you just share your quirks with your friends, well... ;)

LOL. I think bras were invented by some disgruntled man-person hellbent on torturing women. Not only are they extremely uncomfortable (even the most supportive and ones that CLAIM to be comfortable), they're impossible to work, dammit!

Your spider story says it all. I was sitting here nodding and squeezing my arms like a little angry 'fraidy cat, 'cause I can TOTALLY relate. And your recurring nightmare truly sounds like the apocalypse to me. I can withstand just about anything, but the thought of that is just.... *shudders* Too much!

Do you know how much better I feel now that I'm not QUITE so alone in my mermaid delusions? My family (well, except my mom), gave me so much hell for that and now I can stick it in their faces that I wasn't the only one who believed I was actually a mermaid! Booyah! Thank you, honey! And score for us.

Awww, you don't have to do your 7--if I'd been more attentive online like a good LJ-er, I would have caught it when you posted ;) Don't worry about it. You shouldn't have to do it TWICE for God's sake! I'll go find yours and check it out, comment, etc.

As for the James thing, I get where he's coming from and why several people agree with him, because yeah--Buffy was cruel to Spike and terribly unfair to him and many times you DID just want him to be treated better. My thing is that I see it too much thru Spike's eyes--his whole development as a character from where he started, what he went thru and how Buffy fits in to pretty much every aspect of his life and unlife, his struggle to find his identity, his fight against his inner good, and ultimately the price he willingly paid for love... to just say, "Get over her - you deserve better!" is a bit flippant.

If I hadn't seen the look on her face in 'Beneath You' when she realized he'd gotten his soul back and WHY he'd gotten his soul back, it might be a little easier to say their relationship was a lost cause. But season 7 was proof to me their relationship was not only fixable, but had oodles of potential. I'm not a blind shipper--I'm well aware of the problems and flaws and issues in their relationship, but overall they had a connection and an honesty, a knowledge and an understanding of each other, and a closeness that was unmatched in any of their other relationships. Had Spike not died, I would have been very interested to see how things progressed.

Anyway, the images that stay locked in my mind like Buffy telling him she's not ready for him to not be there, the love in her eyes when she rescues him from The First, and how she was beaming with pride as she handed him the medallion there in the basement... just a few things that make it really hard to picture Spike thinking he deserves better or getting over her. In his mind, no one could ever measure up to his Slayer:

A hundred plus years. And there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: You.
