Everything I've learned in life, I learnt from...

..."Buffy The Vampire Slayer":

1. Testosterone is the great equalizer; it turns all men into morons.
2. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.
3. Variety is the spice of bad.
4. Blood is life. It's what makes you warm, makes you hard, makes you other than dead.
5. Always carry a beeper in case the apocalypse comes.
6. A good day to break up with someone is any day but Valentine's Day or your wedding day.
7. Be careful what you wish for. And whom you make wishes to.
8. There comes a time when you either have to move out of your parents' basement or buy yourself a Klingon costume and just go with it.
9. Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.
10. Embrace the pain, spank your inner moppet, whatever. But get over it or pretty soon you won't have the friends you have now.
11. There is no problem that cannot be solved by chocolate.
12. Want. Take. Have.
13. Beer is bad. And also foamy.
14. There's nothing like getting your ass kicked to make your ass hurt.
15. People in love are always a little crazy. And a little dangerous.
16. It's not always about you.
17. Tell people you love them over and over until it makes everyone uncomfortable, just in case.
18. Life is like becoming vampire: it's a whole big sucking thing.
19. The geeks shall inherit the earth. Or possibly conquer it.
20. In life you can either do things the hard way or...actually, there's just the hard way.
21. Schools are just factories, spewing out mindless little automatons... Who go on to be very valuable and productive members of society and you should go.
22. Never kiss your best friend. (Exemption for impending death situations.)
23. Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. No, really.
24. Tact is just not saying true stuff.
25. Saying "as long as nothing bad happens" is the ultimate jinx.
26. Chicks really dig that billowy-coat-king-of-pain thing.
27. Life's a show and we all play our part.
28. Dancing and songs don't always lead to hugs and puppies.
29. Witty repartee will throw off your enemies.
30. Life's not a song. Life isn't bliss. Life is just this: it's living.
31. Always laugh in the face of danger. And then hide until it goes away.
32. Logic has no place in a rant.
33. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie. They eat of the beef and enjoy to look at the bosoms.
34. Graduation is a pointless ceremony where you sit around and listen to boring speeches till you get a little piece of paper that says you graduated, which you already know.
35. The "he started it" defense only works in six-year-old court.
36. The earth never opens up and swallows you when you want it to.
37. There are three kinds of people that no one understands: geniuses, madmen, and guys that mumble.
38. Bruises fade but cowardice has an unlimited shelf life.
39. When you leave someone at the alter, it's really hard to go back to dating her.
40. It is sometimes possible to save the world with just words, love, and a yellow crayon.

Truth is I stole this blog from Moth... who stole this blog from some other guy (see the Buffy link above). And yes I cut the list down to just the things I've learned lol. I mean, shit, this guy's list was like 150 items lol. I couldn't even concentrate for long enough to get to the end of his list. Seriously. :P

But back to Moth and his What Would Buffy Do blog. People like Buffy (and Angel.. don't forget Angel! *hugs my Angel doll*) because its funny, its unpredictable and, let's face it, cos its just a little stupid at times. Pure escapism and fantasy. The characters were flawed (case in point - Anya) and hence seemed 'real' despite the unrealness of the plot etc. We cried when Buffy and Angel finally did "it" after months of sexual tension... we cried when Buffy killed Angel to save the world... heck, some of us even cried when Tara got shot (not me, tho, I couldn't stand her lol). Some of us also cried when Buffy tried to sing in the Buffy musical episode... "I was in heav---en, I was in heav---en".... I cringe every time I think about it.

Moth, seriously, forget the whole "Buffy is the most religious show on TV cos of the prophecies and cos Buffy is the saviour of the world blah blah blah" crap. What a pile of b.s.

Buffy's not a religion. Buffy isn't a saviour. Buffy is just this: it's Buffy.
