Hi, I'm the one who raised the demon gerbils that attacked the school cafeteria that time...you know...I'm Tucker's Cousin.

My Buffy liking has recently developed into an obsession and I was sitting at home thinking, in my Xander voice, do I need help or are there others out there just like me? So, I decided that the best place to start looking for others was on the net. And here you are!

Obsession?! I even had a dream with Spike in it the other night. No, not that kind of dream. We were playing golf (another of my obsessions) in the dark and, as if that isn't enough of an advantage for him, I had hit a beautiful 3-wood shot from the rough onto the green and he kicked it off. He then said "What do you expect, I'm a vampire!"

Anyway, I 'spose I'm kind of an anachronism as a Buffy fan, being a 32 y.o. straight Aussie male who works night shift as a technician in a factory. You should see some af the looks I get from "the guys" when I bring up something from Buffy!

I started watching because a girl I worked with at the time, who was like 6ft tall, blonde and gorgeous (different job!), was into it big time and was always telling me to check it out. So when season 5 started airing I thought I'd check it out and was hooked about 3 episodes in. Season 7 finished here about July last year and by October I was in desperate need of a fix so I bought season 1-3 second hand on video. Then when I'd watched all of those I got 4-6 on DVD and finished the collection with season 7 when it was released here on April 26th (see, I still remember the date and everything. I should because I drove all over town trying to find the box sets that day!). So I've now watched s1-3 4 times, s4 twice (onto that again now), s7 twice, s5&6 3 times.

Okay, that's enough out of me. I'm ecstatic to be on board and I hope you're all just as happy to have me.
 
Of course we're happy. Welcome to the boards. If you ever need anything or want to chat feel free to contact me. I hope you have fun here!
 
What a wonderful introduction post. Welcome to the forums. Sounds like you will fit right in!!! We even have a Buffy/Angel dream thread which I think you should check out! 😀
 
Welcome to BB!
Have fun here and if you need anything feel free to pm me!🙂
 
Hi and welcome to the BB - I hope you like it here. BTW nothing wrong with older straight men liking well-written, well-acted and well-produced TV (*said the even-older straight man😉*)

Here, here! I really don't watch much else anymore. Of course, Buffy's not on where I'm at. Last I knewe F/X was running it and we don't get that . . . and personally, I'm fresh out of college and can barely afford Ramen noodles and toilet paper so I can't buy the DVDs, etc. At any rate, welcome!

And really, what would it be like to dream of . . .

Always room for new fans around here (said the OLDER...but slightly YOUNGER than Mr. Pointy...straight male), so welcome aboard.

Enjoy the boards, and enjoy the show. :: tu ::

Thanks guys for the warm welcome! It's good to know there are more obsessive fans out there. And even better to know that some of them of the more mature, male demographic.

I swear, the way some of my mates and collegues look at me when I start quoting from Buffy or relating a particular scene has definitely made me wonder if I had some problem being a fan. Perhaps I'll just shut up when I'm around them from now on coz I have you guys to share it all with!

Then again, maybe by witnessing to them like this some of them may take the opportunity next time the series airs down under to hear the good news and accept Buffy has their saviour... My humiliation may be a small price to pay if even one more disciple is added to our flock.
 
HELLO'S!
Hmmm, that was a lot of info. Anyways, you'll be happy here, this place is great. Hehe, I liked that little part about you rasing the demon gerbils! Maybe I should do that...

No worry about being old, Old Master is like 40 and we still like him!
