Hey there!

I'm new to the boards, and alexa was super kind enough to adopt me (go alexa!) Hopefully, with her help I won't make a complete fool of myself here... bah, fat chance of that happening 😉
I suppose that this is the place to introduce myself.
I am 20 years old and Im from Nova Scotia Canada. I am currently in my third year of university, hopefully going for an honours degree in religious studies. Just to clear that up, no, Im not going to be a nun, or prayer leader or anything like that. I am learning about various traditions and faiths, with an emphasis on western religions. I am currently working 2 jobs to put me through university (...yay....go me....).
I enjoy spending time watching movies -with or without other people, makes no difference to me. If its a good film I could care less who is with me at the moment. Some of my favorite film actors are Alan Rickman (hmmm, my name seem familiar now? lol), Jeremy Irons, Jason Isaacs and Robert Sean Leonard. I also am a huge television fan, my favorites being Criminal Minds, House, all of the CSIs, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Strangers With Candy.... and well, the obvious Buffy and Angel. I also do a lot of reading, some of my favorites being Harry Potter, The Wheel of Time series, the sword of truth series, anything by stephen king, and any kind of ghost story I can get my hands on.
How did I get started on Buffy and Angel you ask? Well, I'm a late comer (late as in about a month or 2 ago for angel lol). I was watching a tv channel and everyday after Dawsons Creek this show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer came on. I didn't watch it and I didn't watch it. One day I caved and decided to watch an episode and well, the rest is history lol. As for Angel, some friends of mine watched it as it was airing a few years ago, but I had no inclination to watch it. However, I was at a local store around New Years and I was going through a Boxing Day Sale bin of movies and seasons of various shows. I saw season one of Angel going for 15 bucks, and I knew that it was a spin off of Buffy so I thought "why not? what's the worse that could happen?" So I watched and was hooked again.... and finished the ENTIRE series in about a month - how awesome/sad is that?

another canadian! yes! :p
Welcome to the Boards!! Have Fun 😀 😉

I love your Lorneness

And finishing the series that fast is awesome not as awesome as me and my rewatchings 😉 but still awesome :silly:
 
Ooo nice sig 😉
You should also check out Firefly and season 8 of Buffy 😀
 
Haha I know I was slow..... I was unfortunately trying to do some testing in school at the same time I decided to watch Angel. It resulted in me having to hide the DVDs in order to somehow manage to stay caught up in school (it failed miserably lol).
Thanks for the welcome! and I think that Lorne is simply the best EVER 😀

Edit:

Ooo nice sig 😉
You should also check out Firefly and season 8 of Buffy 😀

I know, isn't it the best sig ever? The person who made it must be a genius or something 😛
 
Awww! Thanks! I think that I'll manage to find lots to talk about - as I have already said elsewhere: I tend to talk alot about stuff that ticked me off, and characters that I'm in love with......
 
Welcome aboard. Here be fun!

If you like the Sword of Truth series, may I recommend the Mars series by Edgar Rice Burroughs? Written in 1912, it is one of the foundations for the entire "sword and fantasy" genre, and well worth the read. The beginning trilogy, "A Princess of Mars," "The Gods of Mars," and "The Warlord of Mars," are the best, but the other 8 in the series are well worth checking out, along with his "Venus" series, and, of course, the immortal "Tarzan of the Apes." who is totally unrecognisable from any of his movie incarnations.

Once more, welcome to the Buffy Boards! Fresh viewpoints are always welcome.
 
I have never heard of the Mars trillogy - I think that I'll have to check that out!...... once I get through midterm testing that is.... Thanks for the welcome and for the recs!

Hello and welcome to the boards!!! Wheel time and sword of truth are some pretty awesome series.... You'll find there are quite a few readers here as well! Let me know if you need some help🙂
 
If Alexa has already adopted you...jeez, she's quick 🙂...you'll probably know all this but every newbie gets one...a Pointy welcome post...

Hi, welcome to the boards - great introductory post btw.
