elspethdixon Jun. 25th, 2004 01:08 am)Stuff I meant to Post this Morning, When LJ Wasn't Working:With our dad out in California being pulled into the giant black hole of suck that is the V-22 program (he's supposed to evaluate it as a "non-advocate," like anyone's actually an advocate for that airplane) and our mom in Richmond, Sarah and I took advantage of the opportunity to invite some (like, five) of her friends over for a party before she heads back to Colorado for survival school. Once again, I learned that it can be fun to be the only person at a party who isn't really drinking--you can simply sit back and observe and collect dirt on everyone else. And get hit on by drunk guys, who find me very amusing for some reason. Of course, you also get to clean up.
In addition to drinking (and crying and pouting when Aaron wouldn't make out with her, and calling me a bitch who acts like a babysitter for stealing her car keys, in Christine's case--damn it's ugly when she drinks), we also watched the Thirteenth Warrior. Dude, why didn't anyone tell me that Antonio Banderas wears eyeliner for part of that movie? I would have watched it years ago if I'd known.
Thursday Night Post:
So, after cleaning up the rest of the party evidence (running the dishwasher to clean all used glasses, vacuuming so our Mom won't know we had people over without vacuuming the rug first, ect.), I watched the first eight episodes of Buffy season two (courtesy of the St. Mary's County Library). For someone who came into the show in season five, it's like steping inside some weird time warp back to when Buffy & Co. were all sunny and innocent (and Willow was, you know, straight). So far, I've drawn several conclusions. A) I would so date season two Xander. B) I would so date any season's other than season six's Willow. C) Oz is adorable. D) Spike is, if anything, even more awesome than in seasons five-through-seven--and just as adorable. Also, he so slept with Angelus back in the day.
And on that note, why the hell aren't there more A/B/S threesome fics (I mean, decent ones, that don't give at least one of them a total personality transplant)? The chemistry between the three of them is there right from "School Hard"--which actually makes me think that Joss & Co. were either thinking of including Spike/Buffy vibes from very early on, or that they were cleverly capitalising on an already present chemistry when they introduced the Spuffy storyline in season five. From the first moment Spike sees her in the Bronze, there's a definate aura of sexual menace about his pursuit of her.
