Oo, you should watch Buffy. It is good and contains many excellent characters and scary monsters.

It’s not all like that. I did a search for the word “totally” on Google Books, and that’s how I picked those two passages. Most of the time she talks like a normal person. Honest!

Well, I don’t write them down if I’m at the library. If I’m at home planning a library trip, I’ll make a little list beforehand of the books I want and their call numbers. Once I’m at the library, I feel like I should be able to remember the call number on the short, short walk from the computers to the shelves. Years of having to go back and check again have apparently not taught me a lesson.

I always write the call numbers down if I’m looking for a specific book! I didn’t know some people didn’t! lol

I say wit’ conviction, Legolas Greenleaf, he da man.

1. YES OMG IT WILL BE SO AWESOME.

2. Negotiation. But, there’s this thing of her being a bit crazy, AND I just found out that an incredibly annoying person in our class who I’ve had the misfortune to negotiate with before will be in there. It’s dissuasive.

3. I can understand getting rid of cut-outs, but spiderman? Gone? I can’t believe it.

I know, right? That whole mess with Spike trying to rape Buffy aggravated me no end. I mean you couldn’t LIKE him after that, soul or no soul, and up until then I’d been very fond of Spike. But I don’t think it was a comment on sex more broadly, just on the dysfunctional relationship between these two characters.

I know! I remember when Legolas was the dreamy feminine-looking hero that all the teenage girls had crushes on. I thought that was annoying but had no idea how much worse it could get. 😛

“Legolas and Spock are hardly visible these days and they do not have hats.”

O how the mighty have fallen!

But she’s talking about season 2, so she’s definitely wrong and you’re definitely right. What happens with Angel is so shocking precisely because the show does not play up the dangers of male sexuality. Angel’s love for Buffy is genuine and deep and, considering that he’s a vampire, not threatening at all. The message of Season 2 is not that sex is bad but that the past can catch up with you, and that if you do something evil it can poison even the best parts of your life.

In order of importance:

1. IT IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN WHEN WE HANG OUT ALL THE TIME AND WE WILL HANG OUT AND WATCH STUFF I LOVE YOU XOXOXOXOXO. We can watch Buffy, and Angel, and oh, we can watch Merlin also? Which is like silly and fun? And we can watch, just, ALL SORTS OF THINGS. And go to the library together! AND OH GO TO THE CITY THAT WILL BE SO FUN AND WE CAN GET BOOKS AND CHOCOLATE I LOVE YOU ANNA BANANA. *rapturous embrace*

2. What class is she teaching next semester? I mean it sounds like she is a little bit crazy in the head, but if it’s a good class I say take it. And then you can be, you know, the sane wing of feminism in the classroom.

3. I don’t even know if they still have Spiderman. Legolas and Spock are hardly visible these days and they do not have hats.
