Buffy the Vampire Slayer

So I really liked the end of tonight's episode of Buffy...well, a certain part of it. 'Cause honestly, it was mostly depressing, but the conversation between Willow and Tara...

Consider this your warning...read no further if you don't want to know what happens at the end of the episode "Entropy". And continue on to the next entry --->

Tara: "Things fall apart. They fall apart so hard."
Willow: "Tara?"
Tara: "You can never put 'em back the way they were."
Willow: "Are you okay?"
Tara: "I'm sorry, it's just... You know, it takes time. You can't just have coffee and expect--"
Willow: "I know"
Tara: "There's just so much to work through. Trust has to be built again, on both sides. You have to learn if, if we're even the same people we were.... if you can fit in each other's lives. It's a long, important process...and can we just skip it? Can you just be kissing me now?"
-"Entropy"

i don't want anyone to misunderstand my reasoning for putting this up here. Yes, I love Willow and Tara as a couple. I've been in full support of it since they met in "Hush" and I could tell at that first meeting, that there was something there. And when they broke up this past November, it was rather distressing in its foreshadowing, as it turned out. And yes, there have been lines and moments where Joss Whedon has hinted that they might get back together. And yes, in the past few months, I had hoped that it was foreshadowing again.

But not tonight. I don't want any of you to get all sad and depressed, because this is not a sad and depressed mood that I'm in. The last few days, I've been working on feeling resigned and patient. In fact, I'm actually getting used to hearing the girl get treated in conversation as a girlfriend-type. How prepared will I be for Raspberry Swirl? I honestly don't know yet. Ask me on Saturday how it went.

But anyway, I really liked what happened tonight between Willow and Tara and I wanted to share my joy with everyone. Because, I am actually content to live vicariously. So please, don't everyone read all sorts of stuff into this entry.

Tee hee...

By the way, in my defense, I have been drinking tonight and I've been up for 34 hours or so, so I slightly loopy. Yes, I thought tonight's phone calls were hilarious...and another Buffy quote came to mind. I'm gonna be nice and not actually repeat it here. But for my dear friends at school, just remember the line we used to quote ALL THE TIME from "Faith, Hope, and Trick"...that's what's in my head right now. For the rest of you, you'll just have to wonder. 'Cause I'm not saying anything more.
