Sarah McLachlan - Sweet Surrender (seems appropriate) |
] |
I wasn't going to write a final post in this journal because I didn't originate Willow. I said goodbye on behalf of her in my other sock journal. But then I thought about it some more. Since not everyone reads my other journal, it's probably best that I post a final entry here.
I've only been playing Willow since last June, but I had a blast writing her. Willow is one of the best tv characters, in my opinion, so playing her on LJ was a complete joy.
Thanks to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) xbuffysummersx, perspective_guy, shinykeyofdoom, xrupertgilesx, gi_kennedy, jedi_watcher, violetofthehat and all the other mini slayers for an amazing socking experience.
And thanks to the readers. Without you, this would not have been possible.

Thanksgiving last night was... interesting. Kennedy is still hiding I think. Even though her perantal types were here, it was still nice (at least it wasn't apocalypse-y). Her father actually likes me. Not so sure about her stepmother, though. I don't think that woman likes anyone. She may just be the next big bad.
Honestly, it doesn't matter what her parents think. We have each other, plus an amazing extended family here in Cleveland. I'm big with the thankfulness for them all.

I spent much of the week working and cleaning the apartment. I want everything to be perfect for Kennedy's parents. They'll be here for Thanksgiving. I hope they like me. There's nothing scarier than meeting the parents. Not even vampires and other big bads can compare.
Speaking of big bads, the Hellmouth has been uber quiet lately. It's been scary and dangerous, but I never thought I'd describe it as boring. There's something very strange about that.

You know what's really weird? Feeling like you're being watched. I could swear I heard someone walking around outside. Huh. Maybe it's another ghost. Or I'm going crazy. Whichever. We're on a Hellmouth. Both scenarios are possible.

Does anyone else think Xander is working too hard lately? It's getting to the point where he's forgetting plans we made. We were supposed to see a movie last night, but work came first. This is big with weirdness. I mean, Xander used to sleep until noon on weekends.
Also of the weird, Spike and Buffy went to a Barry Manilow concert. Isn't that more Angel's style? Anyway, this has apocalypse written all over it. Spike said Buffy enjoyed it. If that's the case, I have the right to mock her for the rest of her life. ;)
I'm seriously considering casting a spell on Spike to get him to stop singing "Copa Cabana." It would be for the greater good, really.
Besides the Manilow horror, things are going well. More importantly, Kennedy and I are happy.

I've been spending most of my time with Kennedy lately, trying to console her. She's really upset right now, which is completely understandable. I wish there was something I could do to take her pain away. I hate seeing her like this.
Mostly, things have been quiet and peaceful. This is rare, but I'm so not complaining. And I probably just jinxed myself. Such is life on a hellmouth.

/Firewalled against everyone but Kennedy
I've been so worried about Kennedy. She called to tell me what's been going on, why she had to rush off to New York without telling anyone. She's having family problems. When I say family problems, I mean brother-is-a-vampire-now type of problems. I can't even imagine what she must be going through. I can't even imagine any member of my family being a soulless vampire. I don't have siblings, but Dawn is like a little sister to me. If anything like this happened to her... I don't even want to think about it.
I just wish she was home right now. I want to help her get through this. I can't do that by phone.

I know I haven't been big with the posty. This job thing is keeping me busy, more so than usual.

Kennedy left a note saying she'd be in New York for a few days. She didn't say what she was going there for. I hope everything's okay. I have to admit, I'm big with the worry right now. I know she can take care of herself, but I'm still going to worry.
The job has kept me distracted for a little while, but when I got home to see that she was gone, it made me really miss her. And I started with the worrying again.
I think Dawn needs help with her homework. That should keep me occupied for awhile.
Also, I'm thinking about trying out for Jeopardy (even though I probably won't). Tryouts are supposedly being held in Cleveland soon. If I don't try out, Giles should. I bet he could kick Ken's ass. I'm really getting tired of that guy.

The job at the magic shop is going well. I've just been reveling in all the magic stuff, but not in an addict-y kind of way. I'm just so happy because this is something I know. I understand what everything means. My boss seemed kind of surprised that I know about this stuff. Of course, I couldn't elaborate on just how much I know. He doesn't need to know that I used magic to nearly destroy the world or to help save it. Big no to that.
Everything else in my life seems to be going well also. The puppy is still the cutest thing ever. He hasn't ruined anymore shoes, so that's a plus.
I am concerned about Buffy, though. She had to go to San Francisco to attend a funeral for a friend of hers. It's always hard to say goodbye to someone you care about. I started thinking about Tara. I wish I could visit her grave site, but... yeah. Anyway, I know Buffy will be okay. She's strong.

I'm having the best luck lately. I just found out today that I got the job at the magic shop. I start next week. This is good. If ever we need magic supplies for whatever reason, I can get it easily. And I'll think of Anya whenever I have to work at the register.
I'm feeling good right now. I have an amazing girlfriend, an adorable puppy, great friends, and a new job. Life is good.

Today was kind of busy. It all started this morning when I got a call from that magic shop I applied to. They asked me to go in for a job interview. That was quick. Maybe I was the only one who applied? Anyway, I think I did well. I really would like this job. I know I've had my problems in the past with magic. I mean, I was the big bad once, right? Not my better days. For so long, I just wasn't comfortable handling the mojo. Working in a magic shop would have been unheard of a few years ago.
But things are better for me. I think I can work in a magic shop without anything going wonky. I'll find out in a few days if I got the job.
After the job interview I stopped by the coffee shop for a frappucino and headed home. When I got there, the apartment was messy and damp. That's when I discovered the surprise Kennedy brought home, a stray puppy.
Normally, I'm a cat person. But the puppy is adorable! How could I say no?

This weekend was spent with my shiny girlfriend. We haven't really gotten a chance to spend quality time together since she's been back. Had to remedy that. Quiet, relaxing days are the best. Oh, and I have to mention the lovely gift Kennedy gave me. It's a necklace symbolizing love, friendship and loyalty. I'll wear it all the time.
Today, Buffy and I went to a shopping center nearby to see if there are any jobs available. I applied at a magic shop. How nifty is that? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that one. I figure spending so much time at the Magic Box will come in handy. They don't need to know that I'm responsible for its destruction. Buffy applied at a bookstore. She also applied at a temp agency.
If I do get this job, maybe I'll save up so I can take some classes next semester. I really would like to finish school someday.

Sarah McLachlan - Push |
] |
The last few days have been eventful. Buffy and I took a flight home from Boston early. Before that, we did the touristy stuff. I've never been to Boston, so that was much with the fun. Even though Buffy got us lost. She and maps are unmixy things.
When we got home, I was happy to learn that Kennedy would be returning from her trip to London. I really wish I could have gone with her. I know it was difficult for her, but she's home now and I can be there for her. Maybe we can go there sometime, just the two of us.
For now, I'm just glad she's back. I missed her so much.

We're in Boston now, thankfully. That was the road trip from hell. Try sitting in the backseat with Andrew. It's not pretty.
But I was prepared. I brought my mini tv so I could keep up with the Olympics. I really enjoy beach volleyball and the uniform the women have to wear. And swimming is good, too. Whenever the women swam, I was fine. But when it was time for the men to compete, Andrew kept trying to take the tv away from me. You know, if he had asked, I might have let him watch. I ended up putting my earphones on when Andrew started to grate. Then he started playing his walkman super loud. I swear, he was doing that on purpose.
The worst was when he fell asleep on my shoulder. Just, no. So not cool.
When we got to the hotel, I found out I would have to share a room with him. It just keeps getting better and better.
Today, we met with a watcher named Simon at Ned Devine's in Faneuil Hall. That was a bust. He was big with the quiet and paranoia. I wish we had gotten some sort of information. I feel terrible for the poor slayer. Finding out what did this to her would be of the good. Definitely don't want this happening to other slayers.
Oh, we're kinda creeped out by a phone call Andrew got from some stuffy Britishy guy. He just hung up. This can't be good.

Okay, something seriously needs to be done about this ghost. This morning when I turned my laptop on, the first thing it said to me was "Stay out of it!" That's just not cool. It's was trying to stall my researching I think. Telling me to stay out of it really does worry me, especially if it's after Dawn.
I didn't let the ghost ruin my research mode. I have a plan. Let's just say I won't let this thing hurt Dawn.

I think I'm seeing things. I could swear I saw random things floating around. Like flowers? Is it just me?
I guess it isn't that weird, for us anyway. This is an old building and we're on a hellmouth. I think we may have a ghost. This is actually exciting. I need to go investigate.

Well, that was strange. One minute I was getting ready to cause an earthquake in Cleveland, the next, I was snapping out of some kind of thrall. Unfortunately, I was forced to drink the most vile disgusting thing I've ever tasted. Apparently it was a cure for the weird obsessions we've been having. Somehow Spike figured out what was going on.
The cure? I... I don't want to talk about it. Let's just say, never again.
Thank goodness they got to me in time. I really don't want to be the one causing the big disaster again.

I'm running out of movies to watch. I've watched man made disaster movies, disasters about weather, swarm disasters and even a movie about a volcano in LA. I'm starting to get bored and cranky. There must be something I can do.
Ooh, I know! Why watch a disaster movie when I can just make one myself? Tidal waves are out because there aren't any oceans around here. But an earthquake? Hmmm. Cleveland doesn't have enough earthquakes... It'll be just like we were in Sunnydale!

Everyone here is acting very strange. Xander is still all about the beer, Dawn ran off to LA without telling anyone (at least I don't have to hear about Spike's abs for awhile), and Buffy has a strange obsession with pineapples. Whatever is going on, it doesn't seem to have an effect on me.
I just stayed in my room safely watching movies. Today, I spent the day watching other versions of the Titanic disaster, including a made for tv version with Catherine Zeta-Jones before she got famous. The writing in that one was much with the badness. And all of them had a really bad love story involved. But then I saw A Night to Remember. That one was all about the actual disaster. I don't need all that other stuff. I just want action.
Tomorrow, I'm going to rent movies about natural disasters. Earthquake looks very intriguing. I'm in the middle of downloading a pirated version of The Day After Tomorrow. It's taking too long! Hopefully, it'll be finished soon.
How come our apocalypses never had giant tidal waves?

It's good to have Xander back. His plane landed last night. Some of us went to meet him at the airport. There were even signs. And then there was hugging. It's nice to have everyone together again.
We even had a welcome home party for him. We got through it without any badness happening. Although, Xander does seem to have a sudden love for beer. I really hope it isn't demonic beer like a few years ago. Will have to look into that.
Today, I thought it would be a good idea just to stay in and watch movies. The only one who was interested was Dawn. We ended up watching Titanic. I love Dawnie, I really do, but I wish she didn't talk so much during the movie. She was very big with the weirdness, too. She kept mentioning Spike's abs. She even incorporated them into the movie. Something about Billy Zane being less of a bastard if he had Spike's abs. I don't know. It made no sense. I suddenly found myself wishing I was in a disaster movie just to get away from her odd obsession.
And then I watched Armageddon on FX.
