It's @Athena 's turn in the interview chair. Here's a few questions kick things off:

1. How did you find BB? What were your first thoughts about it?
2. What is it about Buffy that has you ‘coming back’?
3. If you could guest star in any Buffy or Angel episode, which episode would you choose?
4. What does a day in your life usually look like?
5. If you could swap lives with one person for a day who would it be?

Everyone please feel free to post your own questions throughout the week. 🙂
 
If you can end the starvation of exactly one country, which one would you choose?

If you can choose one from these three, what would your choice be?
1. A standard deviation of better looking.
2. A standard deviation of higher IQ.
3. A professional skill of your choice.​
 
Just some basic questions...

Favorite movie?
Favorite band/singer/composer/...?
Favorite book?
Favorite music album?
 
If you could have a superpower, then what would you choose?

Dogs or Cats?

Would you rather explore the far reaches of space or a mind-blowing alternate reality?
 
What do you find most attractive in others? Physically and personality wise?

And same question but about yourself.
 
Oh ok, wow, I wasn't expecting this so soon! I'll just dive in then!

1. Googled 'Buffy Forum'. I'm surprised I didn't do it sooner to be honest! My first thoughts were very positive. It seemed like such a nice community, I decided just to get stuck in. Everyone has been very friendly and it's definitely the nicest forum I've ever been on.
2. I just love the great characters and storytelling. I related a lot to Buffy, being the same age as the characters when it first aired. Buffy was really my gateway into adulthood. I have some very fond memories of it growing up and I'm creating new memories now I've rewatched it all too. I see it so differently these days as a 30+ year old.
3. Once More, With Feeling is without a doubt my favourite episode. I love singing and dancing (I don't claim to be very good at either, I might add!), so for me, it's just the perfect episode. I love that it's not just a gimmick episode, which it so easily could have been.
4. A day in my life, usually consists of being woken up by my darling cat (she never wakes my husband up, only me!), working all day and then evenings are usually spent either kickboxing or doing something physical. Even if it's just a walk round the town. I have a Fitbit, so I'm obsessed with steps!
5. I'd quite like to swap lives with Jennifer Lawrence, because she's awesome and I love her.

If you can end the starvation of exactly one country, which one would you choose?


It's tough, because a lot of starvation related issues are caused by other things.... civil wars, corrupt governments etc. The normal people always suffer out of these things. Am I allowed to stop that too, or just starvation?

Assuming no, I'd probably want to help in Syria. There's a lot of kids in desperate need. I'd like to help as much as I could.
If you can choose one from these three, what would your choice be?
1. A standard deviation of better looking.
2. A standard deviation of higher IQ.
3. A professional skill of your choice.​
Professional skill. IQ doesn't always equate to intelligence and being good looking isn't the be all and end all of life. Besides, looks fade.
Just some basic questions...

Favorite movie?
Favorite band/singer/composer/...?
Favorite book?
Favorite music album?
Movie - Tough, because I'm a big movie person. I'll go with Back to the Future.
Band - Muse
Book - Pride and Prejudice
Album - Muse's Origin of Symmetry

If you could have a superpower, then what would you choose?

Dogs or Cats?

Would you rather explore the far reaches of space or a mind-blowing alternate reality?

Superpower - telepathy & telekinesis.... just like Jean Grey. Jean Grey is amazing!
Cats. I have a cat, she'd be peed off if I said dogs!
People have already been to space, I'd like the alternate reality
What do you find most attractive in others? Physically and personality wise?

And same question but about yourself.

I love smiles and laughs. That's what most attracted me to my husband, he's so funny but he also finds me funny and he has the best smile! A sense of humour is essential for me. I don't understand people who take life too seriously to have fun once in a while.

Obviously I'm hilarious! And people say I have nice eyes, because they're big like saucers. Sometimes I think they're too big for my head!

Ooh! I love Muse!
What is your favorite sport to watch?

What is your dream job?
 
What is your favorite sport to watch?
I'm not a massive fan of watching sport, but I like the F1
What is your dream job?
I'd love to run my own comic book / geek memorabilia shop one day; a place where people can come, find stuff they love and get to know fellow fans over a coffee and a slice of cake. I love talking about all things cult and fan favourite. I love playing old video games. I love comic books. It just always made sense for me to do something like that. I do love my current job, but my geek shop is my ultimate dream.
 
Have you ever seen Formula E?

Yes, but only on the TV. We hoped to see it in London last year but couldn't afford to go (wedding turned out to cost money!)

We love going to the British Grand Prix though and we're hoping to get to the US Grand Prix at some point in the near future. Because we love travelling to the States and we've never been to Texas, so, kill two birds with one stone 😀
 
What's your favorite childhood memory/cartoon/toy?
Memory - My grandma giving me sweets shortly before she died. I was five.
Cartoon - I didn't watch that much TV as a kid but I loved Mysterious Cities of Gold... I was obsessed with it. I still love it today.
Toy - My teddy bear. I got given him when I was born and I still have him. His name is, inventively, Ted!
 
Does he sing the Thunder Buddies song with you?

No, he's not that sort of Ted 😉

Have you ever poisoned anyone?

Yes. A couple of times, completely by accident, with uncooked food!

I don't think the incident with my brother and the paint counts though, because I didn't think it'd make him ill.
 
Cartoon - I didn't watch that much TV as a kid but I loved Mysterious Cities of Gold... I was obsessed with it. I still love it today.

Me too! I was so obsessed with Incas and reading through a quipu! I used to make knots out of threads and pretend to read like Zia. 😀

I had the theme song as my ringtone for years! lol

Omg I was completely and utterly obsessed with that show. To this day it is still in my top 10 shows of all time.

Who was your favourite character? Did you watch the sequel that came out not long ago?
 
Which comic do you not own that you wish you did?

Favourite male Marvel character?

Nights in or nights out?

Esteban was my favourite character. It's something I really want to do a rewatch on soon. I never saw the sequel though! I guess I worried it wouldn't be as good as I remember the show being. Is it good?

I'm a comic book nerd who doesn't own that many physical comics! A lot of stuff I now have on my tablet, on my Comixology app (I'm also a total tech geek, so it makes sense!) but I've never read the Dark Phoenix Saga, so probably that. I've also just started on Jessica Jones as well and I'm loving that.

Male Marvel.... hmmm, I like Wolverine but he's the obvious choice. I'd probably go with Gambit. I love me some ragin' Cajun! 😉 Admittedly I'm not the biggest Channing Tatum fan, but I'm curius to see how he plays Gambit in the upcoming film. If we're talking MCU-wise, it has to be Loki. He's a great character, the best villain in the MCU and Tom Hiddleston is.... well he's Tom Hiddleston. He's perfect! And yes, I am that shallow!

I love nights in more than nights out. I'm not really much of a drinker (apart from the office Christmas party! lol) so I'm happy to just stay in with friends rather than large it in nightclubs. I've kinda been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.... 😀

Haven't yet seen the sequel either, but from what I've heard it's quite good
