...a temporary farewell. Since I'm leaving on vacation and will be gone until January 10th, by popular lack of request I'm presenting a New Year's Nerd Alert.
The Holiday has inspired Spring has suggest this one. Remember, if you have a brilliant idea for a Nerd Alert, by all means IM me. Even a brain as fertile and imaginative as mine needs inspiration for its wickedness. And now to the game.
Your assignment is to consider how our Heroes face the New Year. Think about where our heroes are, what 2003 has brought everyone we love in the Buffyverse and how they will reflect on 2004. One may assume that after all they have been through they will be especially introspective. Let's give them a chance to express it.
NOW THE HARD PART. I want you to draw up the New Year's Resolution(s) for the the Scooby/FG of your choice. If you're feeling especially ambitious, please remember you aren't limited on just one Scooby/FG. If you want to do more than more--or add any creative touches of your own, go for it!
Extra credit for telling us why he or she will make those particular resolutions and what you think the chances are that your character will stick to them. Since the one thing BTVS should have taught them was to share their thoughts you get extra, extra credit if you can tell us who your character might confide those resolutions to and (especially) why. I'm big on the why.
Remember, as always, spelling doesn't count but originality, creativity and lots of detail DO!
Happy New Year, Scubies. I'll be back on the 10th to grade your papers.

'You know I'm only telling you this, because I know you'll understand. Not because I feel any guilt, or because I feel I owe it to you. No, no - just listen. I want to get it all out before....'
'I want to promise you something. 'That just for today, I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.' actual resolution adapted by Ann Landers from the original credo of Al-Anon
'I promise you this, because I need to know that someone knows this. Knowing you know, will help me keep my promise. I need to do this. For everyone, but especially for me.'
Angel speaking to? I was going to say Spike. But I don't think they're at that point yet. So, for now I'll say Wesley, because I feel Wesley is the closest to Angel at the moment and his struggle parallels Angel's.
Anyway, I know Angel isn't at this point yet. But it's what I hope for him anyway.
Of course, in the Jossverse a monkey wrench will be thrown into the mix, and Angel will struggle with this resolution, but I feel (hope) he'll eventually be able to keep to it.
Another tidbit from Dear Abby, because originality isn't my strong suit:
Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature. - The Holy Vedas
Happy New Year S'cubies!

Buffy's New Year's Resolution
No more vampire lovers.
"I'm ready for a little peace and quiet. A nice, normal, boring boyfriend. A guy who would laugh out loud at the thought of vampires being real. I want a guy who cares about Buffy Summers and not The Slayer. I'm not saying that's the kind of guy I'll end up with forever, but it's what I'm looking for right now, and if he's a really gorgeous Italian guy I wouldn't complain."

For the record, this one is turning out to be harder than I thought. Everytime I come up with some resolutions, I realize they don't make sense. *goes back to it*

Spike's Resolution: Never go back to being "ghosty" Spike.
Fred: So.. so, I guess you will want to go find Buffy now, right?
Spike: Nah. Thought I'd stick around Lawyertown a spell. My luck, the amulet'll pull me back just as I find the Slayer.
Fred: Well, I'm still working on figuring out how you were made corporeal. That should tell us whether it is only temporary or if you are back for good. Then you'll know you're safe to seek her out.
Spike: Right. That's my science girl.
Eve's Resolution: Never have mystically influenced sex with Angel again.
Lindsay: YOU WHAT?!
Eve: I didn't do it! Mystic forces were controlling us.
Lindsay: I thought *we* were in charge of all the mystic forces on that ground.
Eve: Me too. Trust me, I am already researching why I wasn't aware of the mystic force and have someone working on a protection spell. That way I'll be safe from any outside mystic forces.
Lindsay: You know someone who knows that much about mystic--
Eve: *interrupting* Yes. We met in college. Let's go back to bed.

Be more patient with Angel.
Be less impatient with Angel.
Try to be less impatient with Peaches.
Take a deep breath and count to a suitably high number when dealing with the Poof.
Limit the number of times I tell the stupid git to get stuffed.

Please consider I've only seen first 2 eps of new season, so here's my lame attempt to participate...
Harmony - Stop wearing pink. (I mean what was I thinking with that outfit I wore the first day on the job as Angel's assistant?)
Spike - Get corporeal. Get Buffy. (Screw who she "really" loves.)
Joss - find a great PA - like that girl Alice on the S3 website. (I wonder if she'll work for a mediocre salary if I promise her lots of fringe benefits?)
Andrew - Fight on the side of good - and get some cool clothes too. (The duster or Armani?)
