shadowkatDeleted my last entry - in case you read it, then wondered when you went back - wait! Was that my imagination? Did that post actually exist? Yes it did.
Now it doesn't. Why? Because it annoyed me when I looked at it again. So I figured I'd spare as many people as possible...;-)
So instead - a meme, which I rarely do any more. (Oh fixed it so you can see it now, since my previous attempt seemed to hide it entirely from view...)
What is your favorite word? Ambrosia (that's today, it changes frequently - I love words). Just happen to like the sound of it...novel is another lovely word, can mean two things - novel = new and novel, a book.
Hard question.
What is your least favorite word/ words? Absolute, also cunt and the "n" word. Actually hate words annoy me. They make me wince.
What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Intelligent discourse. Also stories with an emotional center or crux - ie. the story evolves from the characters emotionally.
What turns you off? Smugness
What is your favorite curse word? Was considering bloody, but have to go with Fuck. It's a great word.
It can be used in so many contexts and mean so many different things depending on how it's used. It can be really horrible or just an expression of frustration.
What sound or noise do you love? Waves...undulating waves, I find it very peaceful.
What sound or noise do you hate? Sirens and the feedback from band instruments, microphones, also the sound of chalk on a chalkboard
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Well...can't really answer this one right now since I feel professionless. Professor, completely unrealistic since I suck at languages.
What profession would you not like to do? Waitress.
Working in shops or restaurants or grocery stores as cashier - basically retail.
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? welcome home.
Speaking of meme's - the US Census has randomly selected me to answer a survey - it's huge. It's very personal. And I'm considering ignoring it. Partly because some of these questions I just don't want them to know the answers to. Ugh. Why this year?
Two or three years ago, I probably wouldn't have minded.
Mosquitos...sigh.

Date: 2004-04-03 06:08 am (UTC)Q. "Lies My Parents Told Me" ended up being a fairly controversial episode among some segments of the fandom. Some fans felt Spike was portrayed too sympathetically, others too harshly, and many were upset by Giles's betrayal of Buffy's trust and Buffy's reaction to Giles at the end of the episode. Can you describe to us what you and Fury were going for in terms of the character development of Spike and the relationship between Buffy and Giles in that episode, and how well you think you accomplished those goals in light of the fan reaction to it?
A. At the end of the day, any time these characters take a strong position it's going to upset some people. Buffy's not a story-driven/standalone show; characters evolve within this universe. This doesn't always make people happy. Admittedly, we go to some dark places.
What's important is that the story stays true to the character. With "Lies," individual point-of-view shapes the morality of the episode. We tried to show that each character truly feels he or she is doing what's right. How you view the episode may depend on which character you identify with the most. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It's exactly what we intended it to be. I'm glad people are talking about it.
