Buffy Origin Stories
Being that this is Buffy’s premiere anniversary month, my last post was about my introduction to the show. So I decided to ask a few of my more Buffy dedicated/obsessed friends how they were first introduced to the Buffyverse. Scoobies, meet my friend Sarah:
“So my relationship with Buffy started a little something like this, as you may may recall. For years I mocked my friends for watching a stupid show about a vampire slayer. I love judging things without knowing anything about them and refuse to stop! Then I started dating this girl. She was super awesome, but I couldn’t call her on Tuesday nights. (That was the night that the show was originally broadcast) We moved in together, and she worked a hundred hours a week. Since she happened to own Buffy on DVD, I started to watch.
It was the best show ever. Now I spend my life trying to convince people that Buffy is totally awesome and that Joss is a genius.I also enjoy long walks on the beach,”
Sarah
I can personally testify to the gentle mocking Sarah gave to Buffy fans fellow Scoobies, as I was on the receiving end more than once. All in good fun of course.
Till next time fellow Scoobies! Cheers, Peg

Bryan;
My introduction to Buffy probably qualifies as rather unique. I had over heard a co-worker remark how excited she was that the series finale of Buffy was to air later that evening. Yep, the very last Buffy of all time.
She suggested that I watch it because she knew I liked the scifi/horror genre.
I had, of course, heard of Buffy The Vampire Slayer but figured it was for kids/teens and not for me. With some reservation, I decided to tune in.
So here I am watching this motley crew of slayers fighting a rather nasty vampire infestation. It was silly…. but it was wonderful. I had no idea what was going on but I wanted more.
I picked up the DVD sets…. and well here I am. Best show (of it’s type) ever.
