Do I even have time to think about who I was in a former life? I am pretty sure I've had enough trouble dealing with who I have been in this life. Now I've watched that television show with the three witches... I mean I only did it for reference sake... not for the whole Rose McGowan, Alyssa Milano thing. Anyway... well hell even if I did watch it for that it doesn't matter. What matters is that I thought I went through a lot through the seven years I spent on the Hellmouth in Sunnydale with Buffy by my side... yeah but those girls? Got me beat.
Still the way I see it? I've done my time with the whole wacky mishap that turns Xander Harris into something not so handsome and debonair. I've been a hyena, which I hate to say it, but was actually probably the hottest I was back in those formative years. I am sure that eating animals raw would have been a real downer, but that whole confident raw animalistic behavior? Probably looked good on me. However that was all fixed and I plead amnesia, which by now? We all know was a big fat lie.
So I was a hyena, I was nearly turned into a fish-thing... though I'm not sure what was worse being gawked at in a Speedo or the thought of scales and flesh peeling off my body... no wait, now that I actually read that? The scale thing? Way worse. Back to the list of things that I have been in this lifetime. I was a bug-eating-butt-monkey for Dracula... yeah Dracula. It was not cool. I made out with a Mummy, hit on a teacher that was really a Mantis woman...
I've been riddled with a thousand diseases, turned into a hard core military man, gotten amnesia and thought my best friend was my girlfriend, which in reality was really funny since she was a lesbian. I've been split into two people, which for the record both of them were me, and for the record Anya and I never did anything about that. I've dated an ex-demon who turned back into a demon then back to mortal... and then even got so far as to have a wedding. So I've been a groom but never a husband, and a boyfriend but always an ass.
I guess if I want to really think about it, maybe in a former life I had everything handed to me on a silver plate. The whole good fortune, women surrounding me adoring me with... fans made from palm fronds and hand feeding me grapes. It had to be good for me to end up with this much of a raw deal for a good part of growing up at least.
See it's called Karma, and apparently it made me it's bitch for a good part of High School. Thankfully... High School is over, and the one I went to blew up, and the one I helped rebuild? Yeah it sunk along with the rest of the town. Still I've done an awful lot in my lifetime... I feel really bad for anyone that ends up with my life as one of their past lives though.
