What you've learned from Buffy

[wickedtiger86]

So I'm bored and I was thinking about Buffy, as is quite usual for me. And I started thinking about what I've learned from the show.

Like:

I've learned that walking into dark rooms and shouting hello is a really good idea . . .if you want to die.

And that the black plague really WAS an early form of germ warfare.

Oh and that people often shout nonsense upon waking. (Ex. Willow: "Don't warn the tadpoles!" and Spike: "I'm drowning in footwear!")



And then some more serious things like:

I've learned to look at the world with more shades of gray and less black and white.

I've learned not to judge people on first appearance and seriously get to know them first.



Learned those serious ones when I was teenager . . . so I guess it's actually really affected my life. Strange to think about . . .



So, anyway! What have you guys learned from Buffy?

And if there's a thread for this already, point me there. 🙂 I really is curious.

I've learned that if a guy hits on you and he is wearing really outdated clothes, then run away because he is a vampire.

I also agree with your shades of grey observation. Everything is not in black and white. There are exceptions to every rule.

I've learned that psychology is the only class you'll ever take in college.

And for serious, that ties to friends and family are an asset, not a distraction.

What I've learned from Buffy? Hm, well that it's very comforting to watch when you really need it. Life lessons? Something like this:

Whistler: "Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are. You'll see what I mean."

and

Whistler: "In the end, you're always by yourself. You're all you've got. That's the point."

I've learned that men dig up the corpses and women have the babies.

But mainly I've learned that it's not just me that has a really horrible family, and that just because your 'family' don't support you it doesn't mean you can't make a family of your own that does! Yay Joss, fixing my life one show at a time.

I love these, and I wish I were funny enough to come up with something hillarious.... I guess I'll just have to settle for the truth, unfunny as it may be.

Buffy is teaching me to be a stronger person.

Don't fall for the first vampire you meet, because you're gonna meet one much better in just a few years.

Also, don't go home with any teacher who eats cricket sandwiches.

But most importantly, loud, obnoxious little sisters quite often ARE sent to you from hell.

That you should keep on fighting, even if at first look you don't have any chance of winning, you never know when things will turn around. I've learned you should stick up for yourself, and that in every one of us there is a hero, hidden, waiting to be called..
