So today I've learned the definitions of two words. Now I know what a 'shout out' means (though I kinda intuited it) and I know what a mosh pit is. THat one I had wrong. I thought it was like a really really icky pit where people did mud fights or something.

Rob wrote-(about Xander- as if there could be any doubt)
// On occasion he's been so far in the background you could barely make him out, but he was there. Every single time, for better or worse, Xander showed up. She may not have made a point of it, but some part of Buffy always noticed. She just never told him that she did. Until now.//
beautifully put-
Woody Allen says "99% of life is just showing up" ( ok maybe not the most moral personage to make a statement but still...)
I am glad you reminded me about Xander being the mooring for Buffy.He does anchor her. I hope that she will be able to survive this final apocalyse without sacrificing Xander or Willow. I want them to survive together and take Dawn to France.

Here's one to ponder while waiting for tonight's lunar eclipse: What happens to a werewolf at lunar eclipse totality? Does he change back and forth, change partway, stay a werewolf? Ideas, anyone?
Emily is in her room writing a werewolf story - something to do with the exchange of blood and mutant DNA, I think, from the hints she's dropped. She came out and asked me the question, so I thought I'd run it by you lot.
I'd better go noodge Kitty so she'll be ready for bed in time to go out in her jammies and observe.
Enjoy the blood-red moon!
Let the weirdness in, Anne

Rob said:'Have I mentioned that I'm really happy?'
Ok, its good to know we're not ALL depressed. :-) I'm glad you're happy Rob. I'm happy about the Xander resolution too. Not that Xander is resolved yet. Not til Tuesday. But, its looking good for him.

Ellie, I have a story for you, but it's pretty gruesome...so I guess it would fit in on a board about demons and such. My father told me that his father's father was quite a ladies man and that he married at least three times. Well, I guess his second wife, who had bright red hair and was quite the beauty, was named Cardelia MacCutcheon, a groovy name to be sure. Well, Cardelia had diabetes and I guess was prone to diabetic comas. She made her husband promise that if she "died" that he would not bury her until he was sure she was really gone. You can guess what happened next. She went into coma, his relatives and friends pressured him to bury her, and thus endeth the story...except many years later the city decided to relocate the cemetary and they dug up all the bodies. They called my Ggrandfather to identify her corpse and when they opened the coffin, all that lovely red hair had been pulled from Cardelia's head. Seems she wasn't really dead after all. She woke up in the coffin and...EEWWW. That story gives me the wiggins just writing it!

//Kerrie, you will have to make it an html document I THINK. Someone may correct me, but that's how any formatting gets done here I think, with html code. //
Problem is ensuring the code gets carried over with the text. Most of the time all ScoopMe recognizes is the text itself when you cut and paste, and ignores the imbedded code. Code generally needs to be typed in manually on ScoopMe.
I've noted this even when copying text from one web page and pasting it here. The formatting doesn't carry over. Not even line breaks, which means song lyrics that looked beautiful on another web page look crappy here.

I watched this tonite too and thought the same thing. There was a lot of "everything is going to change, now".
This seemed to me the very early beginnings of Buffy's discovery of her dark side (which we saw so much of in season 6). I don't think she would even have considered it except for Angel. But, to me that makes it even worse. While she wouldn't normally even consider killing a human she would do it to save Angel. Given the remorse she showed when she thought she killed Ted, and later Katrina, it just doesn't make sense.

Betsy, Xander saved the school and was up with people for the first time in 'The Zeppo' - SUCH a great episode! Really funny with a great meaning.

Thanks for the compliment. Believe me, my dad tells GREAT stories and hopefully I got that talent from him. I do like to write and have toyed with it in the past. However, while I write excellent dialogue between characters, sometimes plot and description suffer. Also, I'm a HUGE perfectionist and will write a chapter over and over until I'm crazy. Then, I chuck the whole thing in disgust!!
