Getting To Know Yous

[CharlieK]

Name: Kalle
Age: 24
Location: Finland
Day job: Student (or between jobs actually...)
When/How did you get into Buffy: In the spring of 2010. I'd been going through shows that I never watched when they originally aired, and Buffy just happened to be on so many Top 10(0) lists, that I decided to give it a try. And a year later, my days are filled with Buffyverse related activities: if I don't watch Buffy/Angel, I'll listen to music (easy way to expand your playlist, just fill it with discography of a band that appeared in the show(s) ), read some fanfic or listen to podcasts.
Explain your screen name: Translation of my real name.
A favourite show outside the Whedonverse: I don't have a definite favourite, so I'll just list a few: 24, The Wire, Xena, BSG, Veronica Mars (well, this is almost Whedonverse...), Alias, Chappelle's Show, Seinfeld, Supernatural.

Name: Tammy

Age: 32

Location: Orlando, Florida

Day job: Financial Analyst

Night job (or the Don't-Quit-Your-Day-Job job): Bellydancer and Podcaster about bellydancing

When/How did you get into Buffy: I started watching Buffy when it originally came out.  Both my mom and I would watch it every week.  I was 18 at the time and straight out of hell school.  As seasons went on, I eventually made my fiance/husband watch it as well.  He has since watched the whole series.  And while he doesn't like to admit it, he could (and has) talked about Buffy for hours 

Explain your screen name: Tammy is my name and my Podcast is YIP Podcast... thus the Yip.

A favourite show outside the Whedonverse: Dexter, Chuck, So You Think You Can Dance, Castle... plus lots of trash tv.

Welcome to the forums! I'm glad you found us. Bellydancing sounds so exotic. And such a nice flip side for financial analyst. I envy you because your husband watches Buffy. Mine is not into it at all.

Welcome to all the new forum members.  Please feel free to jump in on any of the existing threads and share your thoughts.

I envy you because your husband watches Buffy. Mine is not into it at all.

We really need to come up with a good acronym for those of us, myself included, who have husbands, wives or significant others who are not Buffy fans.

Not sure how I missed this thread before...  I was bad and never introduced myself previously, so here goes!

When/How did you get into Buffy: My roommates watched the show when I was in college,  but I never had time to join them.  Saw that Buffy was on Netflix and decided to give it a try.  Started watching in November 2011 and watched all 7 seasons over the course of 6 weeks.

Name: Alicia
Age: 21
Location: San Antonio, TX
Day job: Retail slave
Night job (or the Don't-Quit-Your-Day-Job job): Let's Player
When/How did you get into Buffy: Many friends recommended, for quite a while, that I should watch Buffy.  About a year ago, I saw Buffy on Netflix and was instantly hooked. Prior to seeing the show, I knew nothing about it (I didn't even know Angel was a vampire).
Explain your screen name: similar to my YouTube screen name "theweirdkind", but I decided to change it to something tautological.
A favourite show outside the Whedonverse: The Daily Show, South Park, True Blood, and Grey's Anatomy. (Hoping that I'll add Glee to that list soon.)
