He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. ~Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and EvilBuffy was beginning to question herself which was so not of the good. How had they come so far down the wrong path? Slayers were in hiding because people hated them. Public opinion was on the side of Harmony and that was wrong ( Read more... )

D. Who do you envy most in the world and why?I used to envy anyone and everyone that wasn't a Slayer. Back in Sunnydale, I'd see Cordelia being popular, rich, a cheerleader, uncomplicated life and remember my life pre-Slayage and how much I missed it. I'd see Willow with Oz or Tara and I'd wish I had something like that. There was Angel but that ( Read more... )

What is your job and why did you choose that path?I'm a Slayer. Notice how I don't say The Slayer anymore since there are like a hundred thousand of us now. Okay, that might be a little exaggeration but there are definitely hundreds of us ( Read more... )

I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end. ~ Margaret Thatcher I've been accused of being bossy and I am but only about some things. Don't listen to Faith or Dawn because they're biased. My way really is the better way, but it's from experience. I have the memories of all the Slayers before me but even if I didn't have that ( Read more... )

What's a daily activity you must do that's not one of your favorite activities?Oh my God, the paperwork. I swear I will never complain about the Watcher's Council again. Okay, that's a lie because I will, but seriously, if I knew that taking care of an army of Slayers involved so much paperwork I would have given it to Faith to do ( Read more... )

"I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow." - Woodrow Wilson No, this isn't an open invitation to talk about my intelligence or lack of it. This is me talking about all the people that help me. I know there was some Slayer handbook that says I'm supposed to do this alone. Which by the way I never got, just saying. Anyway ( Read more... )

"It's kind of fun to do the impossible." - Walt Disney When I first got my powers, I was awkward girl. I didn't feel like I had control of my body. It was kind of like a puppy where they are all gangly feet and they don't have control over what they're doing. I mean I even missed the heart my first time staking. Now, it's second nature. I don't ( Read more... )

"I come from a long line of stubborn idiots!" - It Happened One NightYeah, I do come from a long line of stubborn idiots. I don't mean my Summers' blood, though yeah I can be pretty stubborn. And I am so not going into my dad issues. That would take up way too much space. I mean the First Slayer. No, she wasn't a stubborn idiot but the men that ( Read more... )

"Why don't you hit yourself over the head with a hammer when you wake up every morning?" - Wuthering HeightsYou know, I wondered the same thing the first few mornings that the Potentials came to live in Sunnydale. We lived in a three bedroom house with about twenty-five girls and two bathrooms. You do the math. Overnight, it went from me and Dawn ( Read more... )

"I cannot live without my life! I cannot die without my soul." - Wuthering HeightsI used to be afraid of death. That didn't stop me from doing what needed to be done, but I stopped being afraid after I died. The first time. When I was going in to fight the Master, I knew I would die. I mean all the prophecies said the Master was going to kill me. I ( Read more... )
