[20:03] <Flannen> Hey Sco!
[20:03] <sco> hey, i've but a few minutes.. still wanted to pop in for support
[20:03] <Flannen> Ok, I'm comfortable and ready to be grilled!
😛
[20:03] <sco> rare, please.. not much grilling
[20:03] <Nix> ty sco
🙂
[20:04] <Flannen>
🙂 aw, thanks Sco!
[20:04] <HisMRS> Sweet!!
🙂
[20:05] <Flannen> Fire away, HisMrs!
[20:05] <HisMRS> First of all, thank you, Flannen, for agreeing to answer our questions for you- we have a lot of good ones.
🙂
[20:05] <Flannen> No problem! Last week was awesome so I've been looking forward to it!
[20:06] <HisMRS> That being said, let's get right down to it! Our first question comes from Wishing Oceans: What was your initial reaction when you were asked to be a mod?
[20:06] <Flannen> .....
[20:06] <Flannen> was my initial reaction lol
[20:06] <HisMRS> LOL
[20:07] <Flannen> I was honestly really shocked. I logged on really early one morning before uni and after a few seconds of speechlessness I pretty much started squealing!
[20:07] <HisMRS> Aww!
😀
[20:08] <Flannen> I was a mixture of feeling so honoured and so excited all at the same time! Which lasted for a while lol
[20:08] <HisMRS> Sweet, thanks... And now for the second part of that question: Now, after being a mod for a while, how do you feel about your "Modly" duties?
[20:08] <Flannen> Hmm, good question!
[20:09] <HisMRS> Hey TSquared!
[20:09] <Flannen> I still love all parts of being a mod as much as I did when I started. I still feel honoured to be a part of the Staff and I love being a part of keeping this place awesome!
[20:10] <Tsquared> Hey!
🙂 I was looking for my laptop charger for like 20 mins, did I miss much?
[20:10] <Flannen> Hey Tsquared, thanks for joining us!
🙂 Not missed much, we've just started!
[20:11] <Tsquared> Awesome! I'll shut up now.
🙂
[20:11] <HisMRS> Good to know you're still enjoying your job.
😀 And now for our next question, from Taake: Best concert you've ever been to?
[20:11] <sco> I sent Q to you, HM
[20:11] <HisMRS> Awesome, Sco, I'll add it to the list.
🙂
[20:11] <Flannen> Ooh, that's tough cos I love my music.
[20:12] <Flannen> About 6 years ago I went to a festival in the summer and saw Faithless who were just amazing. It was so hot and the whole crowd came together and it was an amazing atmosphere.
[20:13] <Flannen> And later that night I saw Muse, who, again, just wowed me!
[20:13] <HisMRS> Nice!! Sounds like a great time! Taake has another question for you: Why did you choose to become a teacher?
[20:13] <Tsquared> Muse. <3
[20:14] <Flannen> Another good question!
[20:14] <HisMRS> I told you we had some good ones.
😉
[20:15] <Flannen> I've pretty much always wanted to be a teacher to be honest. But the main reason is that high school is a time in every person's life where they start working out who they are and coming to terms with themselves.
[20:15] <Tsquared> Oh neat, your a HS teacher?
🙂
[20:16] <Tsquared> you're*
[20:16] <Flannen> I think it's really important to have good role models during that time and having someone who can see what potential you've got and push you towards it even when you feel like you are so far from yourself y'know?
[20:16] <Flannen> I'm not yet Tsquared, but I will be soon
🙂
[20:17] <Flannen> I want to be someone like that who helps pick people up when they're down and see them become everything they can be.
[20:17] <HisMRS> Awesome answer, the world needs more people like you!
🙂 Taake's next question for you is this: What actor/actress would you take with you to a deserted tropical island?
[20:17] <Flannen> Toughest question so far
😛
[20:17] <Flannen> Can I only choose one?
[20:17] <Tsquared> xD
[20:18] <HisMRS> LOL
[20:19] <Flannen> Okay, I think it would have to be Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer from One Tree Hill). She seems like a really awesome person and I think we'd have loads to talk about.
[20:19] <Flannen> My shallow answer: Chad Michael Murray!
😛
[20:20] <HisMRS> LMAO!! Awesome, Flancakes!
🙂 And speaking of Flancakes, this brings us to our next question, which is from me: What is your favorite dessert?
[20:20] <Flannen> CHEESECAKE!
[20:21] <Tsquared> Yum!
😀
[20:21] <Flannen> lol, I'm on a huge cheesecake kick right now! New York Vanilla is just...divine!
[20:21] <HisMRS> Hey Aki!
🙂
[20:21] <HisMRS> Mmm, cheesecake is heavenly.
😀
[20:21] <Aki> Hello
😀
[20:21] <Tsquared> Welcome Aki!
🙂
[20:22] <Aki> Hey, Tsquared
🙂
[20:22] <HisMRS> I missed Diminished9th coming in; welcome!!
🙂
[20:22] <Flannen> Thanks for joining us Aki!
[20:22] <Diminished9th> hey
[20:22] <Aki> How could I miss this? (sw)
[20:22] <HisMRS> So Flannie... What is your favorite forum on BB? This one is also from me.
🙂
[20:23] <Flannen> There's so many! I should have put a disclaimer out before this: Flannen is ridiculously indecisive don't make her choose anything!
😛
[20:23] <HisMRS> LMFAO
[20:24] <Flannen> Oh wait, I know. The Bangel Fanclub (sw).
[20:24] <Tsquared> lol
[20:25] <Flannen> No in all seriousness, probably Inside Out. We have some awesome topics in there that really get to grips with the show and I love that.
[20:25] <HisMRS> LOL
[20:25] <HisMRS> Sweet... Great choices! (sw)
😉 Now, our next question from TSquared himself! Would you save 5strangers, or 1 close family member from a fire? (I don't know how this situation would even work, but you gotta pick one and no PCness!
😛 )
[20:25] <Flannen> And Dollhouse, when the show was still going in particular. I loved discussing DH!
[20:26] <Flannen> LOL what a question! I love it!
[20:26] <Flannen> I'd like to think I'd put five lives over one but it's have to be 1 close family. In fact I'd probably save my cat over 5 strangers!
[20:27] <Tsquared> Dollhouse! <3 Oh boy, I'm up!
🙂
[20:27] <Flannen> Don't think I'm a bad person, I just really love cats!
[20:27] <HisMRS> LOL Flannie!
[20:27] <Tsquared> I totally agree Flan.
🙂
[20:27] <Aki> I would do the same, Flannen
😀
[20:28] <Flannen> Phew! That's good to know!
😉
[20:28] <HisMRS> Here's one from dank: How did you stumble onto BTVS?
[20:29] <Flannen> Oh no! This story is so embarrassing on my part!
[20:29] <HisMRS> LOL
[20:29] <Tsquared> Yay!
[20:29] <Tsquared> XD
[20:30] <Flannen> When I was about 8/9 (I think) I changed the channel and it was the last five minutes of TheHarvest. Literally from when Buffy is standing on the pool table. And I thought she was SO cool and fell in love immediately.
[20:30] <Flannen> I then proceeded to jump around my living room trying to 'slay' my rather unamused older brother. *ahem*
[20:30] <HisMRS> LOL! Awww!
[20:31] <HisMRS> And on the same subject, from dank: Do you watch certain episodes when your in a particular mood?
[20:31] <Flannen> Oh yeah, lol
[20:31] <Flannen> When I'm hormonal and need to cry I bring out IWRY and Hero and cry my eyes out!
[20:32] <HisMRS> Aww, those are good eps for that!
[20:32] <HisMRS> Hey Faith! Welcome!
[20:32] <Tsquared> Hey Faith!
🙂
[20:32] <Faith> Hey
[20:32] <Flannen> They are indeed. I always find Enemies usually fixes me up when I'm feeling down too. I don't know why!
[20:32] <Tsquared> Flannen are those Angel episodes?
[20:32] <Faith> sorry i'm late
[20:33] <Flannen> Oh yeah, they are Angel eps!
[20:34] <HisMRS> Flannie, dank has one more for you: Do you miss the show or do you think it ended at the right time?
[20:35] <Flannen> Honestly, I think it ended at the right time. I do miss it, but I'd prefer to watch it over and over and remember it on its high than have felt like it was carrying on too long.
[20:36] <Tsquared> Good call.
🙂
[20:36] <HisMRS> Great answer.
🙂 Lizzierainbow had a question for you... She asked What is the hardest thing you have had to do whilst being a member of the boards?
[20:37] <Flannen> Wow, that's a very good question...
[20:39] <HisMRS>
🙂
[20:41] <Flannen> Bear with me...this is tough!
[20:41] <HisMRS>
😉
[20:44] <Flannen> Okay (sorry for the wait!) I'd say it was when I'd been here a few months and had to kind of step back and look at myself and see if I was being the type of member I wanted to be.
[20:45] <HisMRS> Nice... Yeah that would be a tough question for me, too.
🙂
[20:46] <Tsquared> Yeah that is tough.
🙂
[20:46] <HisMRS> Here's one that's not too tough: TSquared asked "Have you ever had a "supernatural" experience? e.g. ghost, unexplained noises, Ouija board story??"
[20:46] <Tsquared> *gets popcorn out*
[20:46] <Tsquared>
🙂
[20:46] <HisMRS> LOL
[20:46] <Flannen> LOL Tsquared!
[20:47] <Flannen> Well I don't think I've had any of those experiences but when I was younger, I woke up one night and saw the shadow of my brother next to my bed, just standing there.
[20:47] <Faith> wow
[20:47] <Tsquared> Woah, like just his shadow only?
[20:47] <Flannen> So I started talking to him asking him what he was doing and was he going out and did our parents know, but he wouldn't answer me.
[20:48] <Flannen> It was totally him, he was flicking the zip on his jacket like he always did but when he wouldn't answer, I turned my light on and there was nothing there.
[20:48] <HisMRS> Oooh... *chillbumps*
[20:48] <Tsquared> *spills popcorn*
[20:48] <Flannen> And he's alive so it was kind of even weirder lol
[20:48] <Tsquared> Hehe.
[20:49] <Flannen> weirder? English teacher over here lol *more weird
[20:49] <HisMRS> CRAZY... I'm thoroughly spooked. LOL
[20:49] <Faith> oooh you know he has a double evil shadow right?
[20:49] <Flannen> He does?!
[20:50] <Flannen> He was pretty evil when I was younger anyway
😛
[20:50] <HisMRS> LOL
[20:50] <Tsquared> That would be like his doppleganger or something! =X
[20:50] <Flannen> I know, it's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to it. I must have been dreaming or something but it really didn't feel like it
[20:51] <HisMRS> Crazyness... Well here's another question from TSquared. It may or may not lift the mood, depending on your answer. LOL Do you sing in the shower?
[20:51] <Tsquared> XD
[20:52] <Flannen> You know what? I don't think I do! I think that's more strange than singing in the shower right? lol
[20:52] <Flannen> I have super quick showers though so I don't have much time to sing. I save it for my car!
[20:52] <HisMRS> Nahhh... I don't sing in the shower, either, usually... But I rock it out in the car, too, so we're equally awesome. LMFAO
[20:52] <Tsquared> LOL
[20:53] <Faith> btw, my question up next
😉
[20:53] <HisMRS> Yeah, Faith says she has one for ya.
🙂
[20:53] <Flannen> Uh oh...
😛
[20:53] <HisMRS> (sw)
[20:53] <Flannen> Car singing FTW!
[20:53] <Tsquared> *gulp*
[20:54] <Faith> don't worry i'll start you off easy
[20:54] <Flannen> Don't say that! Means I know it'll get worse
😛
[20:54] <Faith> what was the first thing that went through your mind when you got the mod offer?
[20:54] <HisMRS>
😛
[20:55] <Flannen> Is it April 1st?
😛
[20:55] <Flannen> lol, not really!
[20:55] <Nix> lol
[20:55] <Flannen> I said a bit about this at the start but I was just really honoured to have been asked.
[20:56] <Flannen> And there was some excited squealing!
[20:57] <HisMRS>
😀
[20:58] <HisMRS> Well Buffy Summers has one that goes along with Faith's question: What is the hardest part about being a moderator?
[20:59] <Flannen> Hmmm...
[21:01] <Flannen> I think I have to reiterate what Faith said last week to be honest which is having to have words with members that you're quite friendly with.
[21:02] <HisMRS> Yes, I can imagine that part of the job is hard.
🙁
[21:03] <HisMRS> Moving on from the tough questions, Angelic Slayer has a question for you, Flanniepie! "I know you're a Paul/Echo shipper, so I have to know: what's your favourite Paul/Echo moment from the two seasons of Dollhouse?"
[21:03] <Tsquared>
🙁
[21:04] <Flannen> Ahh, Paul/Echo <3
[21:04] <HisMRS> LOL
🙂
[21:04] <Flannen> Ok I need a minute to decide hehe
[21:05] <Faith> I was about to boot you till I saw the user
[21:05] <HisMRS> LOL
[21:05] <Flannen> I think it would have to be in the Meet Jane Doe episode. There's lots of moments from there.
[21:06] <Flannen> Particularly then they are just having dinner and so comfortable with each other. And the way he looks at her when she's drawing up the plans. He looks at her in awe and with adoration and I love that.
[21:06] <HisMRS> Aww.
😀
[21:07] <Flannen> I'm a hopeless romantic. But I also LOVE seeing them come through the wall together, fighting side by side.
[21:07] <HisMRS>
😀 Kinda like Bangel...
😉
[21:07] <Flannen> (sw)
[21:08] <Flannen> I have a similar taste in my 'ships lol
[21:08] <HisMRS> So we see!
😀 Angelic Slayer also asked "What was your favourite subject in school?"
[21:08] <Flannen> English absolutely!
[21:09] <Flannen> I love reading, I love what books have to teach us about our world and ourselves and being given a space to write/speak about that fit me perfectly.
[21:10] <HisMRS> Interesting!
😀 So you're a bookworm! Love it!
🙂 Another question for you, from AS again, If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you want to be?
[21:10] <Flannen> Chad Michael Murray's house?
[21:10] <Flannen>
😛
[21:10] <HisMRS> LMFAO
[21:11] <Flannen> lol, ok serious answer.
[21:11] <Flannen> I would be in a small village in Yorkshire in the UK, called Flamborough, climbing down cliffs to little beaches/bays and paddling.
[21:11] <Flannen> It's my favourite place in the world, by the lighthouse and the sea.
[21:12] <HisMRS> It sounds beautiful!
[21:12] <Flannen> It really is. But seriously windy! lol
[21:13] <HisMRS> LOL!! Wishing Oceans has a question for you... She asked "Do you consider yourself to be more of an introvert or an extrovert? Why?"
[21:13] <Flannen> Ooh, interesting question!
[21:13] <Tsquared> It sounds like a beautiful place to go. Ohhh, next question.
🙂
[21:14] <Flannen> While I can be a bit of both, I think I'm more of an extrovert. I love being with people and discussing things.
[21:15] <Flannen> I can be introverted when I want to be, but most of the time I like being lively and speaking my mind
😛
[21:16] <Faith> sorry to run guys but have a good night!
[21:16] <Tsquared> Hey dan!
[21:17] <Flannen> Welcome Dan!
[21:17] <HisMRS> So Flannie, answer this one from Wishing Oceans: Did you ever do any extracurricular activities like sports or crocheting when you were younger?
[21:17] <dan> hello sorry i'am late
[21:17] <HisMRS> It's ok, people pop in and out all the time.
😉
[21:18] <dan> i bet my questions have already been done
[21:18] <Flannen> They have, but I'll post the transcript afterwards so you can see my answers
🙂
[21:18] <HisMRS> Yes, dan, they were, but there will be a full transcript available soon after the chat is over.
😀
[21:18] <dan> ok no worries
[21:18] <HisMRS> Hey Zalos!
[21:19] <BEG> Hello all!
[21:19] <HisMRS> Hey BEG!
[21:19] <Zalos> wow there's a chat going on?
[21:19] <Zalos> hey Britt, hey all
[21:20] <Flannen> Okay WO's question: I played football and netball when I was in primary school but that was about it.
[21:20] <Flannen> I don't know what I did as a child lol
[21:20] <Flannen> Read books mostly!
[21:21] <HisMRS> Nothing wrong with reading... Some of my happiest memories of my childhood are reading "The Babysitters Club" and "Sweet Valley High".
😉 Next question! BEG asks What is you most embarrassing drunk story?
[21:21] <Flannen> Oh boy. I KNEW it'd be you who asked something like this!
[21:21] <Nix> hahaha trust BEG
[21:21] <BEG> Hehehe
[21:22] <HisMRS> LMAO
[21:22] <Tsquared> XD
[21:23] <Flannen> Ok the one thing my friends NEVER let me live down is one night we'd been at a local gig and I'dhad a bit too much to drink...they found me outside holding a torch up to my head, turned on, spinning round in circles shouting 'Look, I'm a lighthouse'
[21:23] <dan> i couldn't answer that question as i've never been drunk lol
[21:23] <BEG> Lmao!!!
[21:24] <Tsquared> rotf XD
[21:24] <HisMRS> LOL!!!
[21:24] <HisMRS> May I ask what you were drinking to turn you into a lighthouse? (sw)
[21:24] <Flannen> Sea water?!
😛
[21:25] <HisMRS> LOL!! Nice!!! Next question from BEG: Has your opinion of the boards changed since you became a Mod?
[21:27] <Flannen> I'd say so, yes. I appreciate them an awful lot more because I've seen just how dedicated the staff are, that's the main thing I think.
[21:28] <HisMRS> Awesome.... I can imagine seeing it "from the other side" would definitely change how you see theboard.
🙂 BEG also asked "Has there been something on the boards (like a competition / activity) that you wish you had taken part in?"
[21:30] <Flannen> Gah, I was thinking about one the other day but my mind's blank now!
[21:30] <HisMRS>
🙂
[21:30] <Flannen> I think I've been really lucky in the time I've had here because I was a part of BB Big Brother and I got to help out with the Buffies this year so right now I can't think of one!
[21:31] <Flannen> If it comes back to me, I'll say!
[21:32] <Tsquared> Sorry Flan and guys, I gotta go. Gotta get ready to go out for dinner!
🙁
[21:32] <Flannen> No worries! It was great to have you for a little while!
😀
[21:33] <HisMRS> Aww, by T!
[21:33] <dan> bye
[21:33] <HisMRS> BEG asked another mod question: Have you had any bad experiences since you became a Mod?
[21:33] <Tsquared> Bye, can't wait to read over the transcript!
😀
[21:35] <Flannen> *scratches head and thinks*
[21:36] <HisMRS>
🙂
[21:36] <Flannen> I don't think I have, touch wood. I think I've been quite lucky in that sense. If I have, I've forgotten! lol
[21:37] <HisMRS> That is good to hear!!
😀
[21:37] <HisMRS> BEG's last question for you was a 2-parter: Whats your Favorite thing about BB? and if you could change one thing what would it be?
[21:38] <Flannen> Ooh, favourite thing about BB?
[21:39] <HisMRS>
🙂
[21:40] <Flannen> I love the community feeling of BB. I love knowing that when my day has been rubbish I can come on here and there's support.
[21:41] <Flannen> And if I could change one thing?
[21:41] <Flannen> I'd ban Spuffy talk.
[21:41] <Flannen> (sw)
[21:41] <dan> lol
[21:41] <HisMRS> LMFAO!!!!
[21:42] <Flannen> I'm kidding, I couldn't resist!
[21:42] <HisMRS> I wasn't expecting that one!
😛
[21:42] <Flannen> I honestly can't think of anything off the top of my head that I would change.
[21:43] <dan> except Spuffy talk?
[21:43] * Flannen nods
[21:43] <Flannen> 'cept that
[21:43] <Flannen>
😛
[21:44] <dan> why no Spuffy talk?
[21:44] <Flannen> lol, I'm only kidding. I'm not a fan of the 'ship but I wouldn't want to take away the opportunity to talk about them!
[21:44] <HisMRS> LOL You crack me up, Flanwich...
[21:44] <HisMRS> Well, ladies and gents, we are down to our final question, from Scobro... You are relatively a 'newbie'when compared to others.. do you think it was winning the Big Brother and then standing up and speaking your mind during a board crisis that helped propel you into attention for mod duties?
[21:44] <dan> i know your kidding lol
[21:47] <dan> just wanted to hear your thoughts or why your not a fan of Spuffy
[21:48] <Flannen> No, I don't think either of those things were a part of me being offered a mod position to be honest.
[21:51] <Flannen> I think, like I said earlier, it's likely to have been more about me taking a step back and reviewing my behaviour as a member and making a conscious decision to be a better member of the community.
[21:52] <HisMRS> Great answer.
🙂
[21:52] <HisMRS> Did you want to answer Dan's question for why you're not a Spuffy?
[21:52] <Flannen> Sure
🙂
[21:53] <Flannen> It's just not a 'ship that appeals to me. All my favourite 'ships from other mediums are quite similar.
[21:54] <Flannen> I've noticed a pattern myself recently that for me to really love a 'ship I have to love both characters. And I'm not a Spike fan.
[21:54] <Flannen> That being said, the scenes between them in the later episodes of season seven are really touching and beautiful.
🙂
[21:54] <HisMRS> I agree, Flannie.
😀
[21:54] <dan> that leads me to ask (if i can) why you don't like Spike?
[21:55] <Flannen> Of course you can
🙂
[21:56] <Flannen> I liked Spike in the early seasons but I just completely lost interest in his character once he fell in love with Buffy. Where others feel he became so much more, I feel he lost something.
[21:57] <dan> fair enough
🙂
[21:57] <Flannen> I'm also a bit miffed about how much screen time he got towards the end. But I can't blame him for that! Lol
[21:57] <HisMRS> AMEN!!
[21:57] <HisMRS> LOL
[21:58] <HisMRS> Well if there are no more questions, I think we've reached the end of the show, folks!
[21:58] <Flannen> Well thank you all so much for your questions! I hope I answered them all well enough for you!
[21:59] <HisMRS> You did awesome, Flannie! Thanks again for agreeing to do this!
[21:59] <dan> well done with your answers
[21:59] <dan>
🙂
[21:59] <Flannen> And thanks to those of you who joined us and of course to HisMrs for chairing the evening!
[21:59] <dan> yeh well done Brit
🙂
[22:00] <HisMRS> Thanks, and you're very welcome!! I have to run now, but it was a lot of fun!
😀
