It's '2 weeks before my b-day' Friday, MKF!

[wiltar]

Okay, stupid title to this topic...sorry..

I was surprised anyways that there wasn't a daily topic yet. So here is mine.

Okay, so I'm counting down before my 18th b-day (Yay, finally! Big day for me!) It got me wondering about W/T.. I mean, we know that Tara has probably counted down for her 20th b-day, because, hello made-up-by-dad-demon. But what else?

So, hereby I present to you the W/T question of the day:

[b:0e22937370] What would be the day that Willow and Tara count down for?[/b:0e22937370]

Have a great Friday!

18? Sure you're only a child, says the ancient (well 29) Molly.

Its totally credible to me that Willow would look forward to the day of an exam. Tara'd probably look forward to some day important in Wicca.

Personally, I'm counting down to 13 May when Season 4 DVDs are out on this side of the Lantic (I'm not gloating . . . honest!) [img:1b1608ee81]http://www.theunholytrinity.org/cracks_smileys/cwm/cwm/spin2.gif[/img:1b1608ee81]

[Enigmatic]

There's only two weeks til you get 18? Lucky you, I first turn 18 in November and I can't wait...

I think that Willow (in the earlier days) counted days in the summer, you know till she could go back to school again...

Nothing much has happened today, other than now I have Weekend

Have a nice Friday!

[ninjitsugrrl]

i bet they count down to their anniversarys together.
how cute! happy friday all.

[TaraManiac]

Happy Still-no-B-Day Patricia!! Hehehe...
And Happy-So-Waited-Friday for the Rest of the Kitties as well !

Well, I think both Willow and Tara would count down the days for their anniversary or their b-days, coz for SURE they would have prepared a Nice surprise for each other and they definitely would be excited about it.
Keep the ideas Flowing!

Have a Nice Day Everyone

I know I am counting down to new Buffy on UPN

[Kieli]

Hmm...interesting question....I think they would count down the days until they can celebrate their anniversaries....you know, the anniversary of the first day they met, the first time they kissed, their first sexual forays in a bathroom stall (*whack* Gotta stop myself...Ruth's fic has gotten my mind completely in the gutter )....the usual romantic stuff like that.

[brave little toaster]

hmm...I bet Willow still might count down the days to exciting new computer software being released; but more importantly, right now, I'm sure they're both counting the days hoping that they will get together again...!

[rainbowrose21]

Happy counting down to your 18 b-day!

Willow would prolly count down the days till a vacation w/th Tara or the end of school(although she am sure loves school,no summer break would make Willow a cranky girl).

Tara would prolly count down something Wiccan related or book related(the release date of a new book).

Im counting down till Wednsday(the 24th),the two year anniv of me and my gf meeting in rl(we orginal met ol) Only down side is,that's the night our term papers are due for a indian studies class(but we have it on good word that the prof will let us ditch as long as we get the papers turned in

off to find some breakfast
Have a great Friday kitties

You know, I loved being 18. I thought I was so grown up, but I didn't yet have all the grown up pressures or realities that I have now. And I kind of liked that adult innocence. Hm. Good times.

Anyway, I had a late night last night...early morning. Damn you kittens. Keeping me up. Heh.

I think Willow and Tara would probably count down to the weekend each week, so that they can make one day for late morning snuggles. I just love the idea of them laying in bed on a Saturday morning, entwined like sleepy puppies, talking in low intimate voices about their weeks, or what they're going to do that day.

[concrete]

Here's my *alvast* birthday present: set your VCR!!! In 15 minutes "Can't hardly wait" on Net5.

[xita]

I called in sick today and I like it! My neck has been killing me and today was the first chance all week I had to call in sick. I had open house last night at school so I was preparing the classroom all week. Now I have a 3 day weekend and I love it!

And I think Willow is counting down to the next time she sees tara and vice versa. I am sure they both counted down to Buffy's birthday party.

[Rally]

Well I get to turn 18 for the second time in my life this year, for whatever that's worth.

Willow would endlessly be counting down everything, of course, right down to every last bagel.
Tara not so much so anymore, I think she learned to stop counting when she got by the ole' 20th Birthday in one safe human piece.

Happy Friday Kittens.

[the literary exterminator]

Okay, is that some kind of secret in-joke? Now I'm curious; how can one turn 18 again?

[b:0a4e77d7b0] xita[/b:0a4e77d7b0]: For a sore neck, I highly recommend a hot water bottle. Preferably in the Solanas sense.

[Rally]

18 the first time would be 18, 18 the second time would be 36.

[tommo]

Okay, can we perhaps stop with the age talk? Deb keeps telling me that your thirties are supposed to be fantastic. I, however, am not totally convinced. Bah.

[Thanatopsis]

I'm fully convinced my friend Jeff is insane and has way too much time on his hands. He keeps sending me links about ninjas, i.e. "How to be a Ninja", How to Spot a Real Ninja" and Snap a Picture of a Ninja and Win $5." Today's is titled, "How to be a Ninja Even Though You Only Have a Black Shirt."

[Rally]

Hmm Ruth are we a bit touchy about the thought of birthdays in the hmmm 30's? Heheheh...

[Sassette]

Hey, Thanatopsis ... send this to Jeff: www.bol.ucla.edu/~rahjr79/ninja.htm

Well, assuming that Jeff (whoever that is *G*) hasn't already seen that one.

[maudmac]

Hey, [b:0a30edb217] Thanatopsis[/b:0a30edb217], sounds like maybe your friend's a Zannah fan. Ninjas are cool.

I am clutched in the talons of despair over my impending thirtysomethingness. I would believe all that blather about the "quarter life crisis" was a bunch of self-indulgent Gen X spoiled brat whining, except, of course, that, well, I think I've been having one for a few years now. Does that mean I'm a shallow, self-absorbed spoiled brat? Can't I just stay 29 forever? I figure I can milk it for the next 6 or 7 years at least.

Anniversaries are weird. My gf and I have several. We, too, met online. That wreaks havoc on anniversaryness. We have anniversaries for when we first started IMing, when we first talked on the phone, when we first expressed our feelings, when we decided we had to be together, when we first laid eyes on each other, and when we exchanged rings. Some of these earlier ones are complicated by the fact that they are actually two days long because of the 4/5 time zone difference at the time. It all adds up to a million anniversaries. So we pretty much ignore the details and just say "Happy Anniversary" every now and then, assuming we're probably pretty close.

Right now, the main thing I'm counting down to is the new ep.

*turns to look at calendar, is briefly distracted by picture of porpoising dolphins, sighs with love for all things dolphin-related, eventually focuses on Tuesday, April 30, and, finally, sighs with love for all things W/T-related*

[Kieli]

...and I don't mind it too much....well that's not really true...when I get these piddling little five year olds that try to give me for what passes for service nowadays and call me "Ma'am" *ugh* Hate that....and when my body parts don't seem to quite respond the way they did when I was in my twenties...*crosses her fingers and hopes that alzheimer's hasn't hit her early*....[i:94dd4ae15d]Uberalles[/i:94dd4ae15d], though, I don't mind being 33. *shrug* Diana and I went to the Albuquerque Zoo not too long ago and the stupid git at the window looks at me and her and says to her, "One adult and one child?" I was in such shock I think my mouth hung open for a good five seconds because I could have [i:94dd4ae15d]sworn[/i:94dd4ae15d] she was kidding. Meanwhile, Diana is laughing her silly head off by the time I figure out that this child was serious, I was glaring at her mightily. I suppose that could've been taken as a compliment, but not bloody likely. *grr*

All of this to say, it could be worse, Ruth. You could be me being treated like a blasted kid (which is not particularly amusing). I want my twenties back!! *cry*

*edited to add her complete confusion at her avatar and signature not showing up...how odd*

[tommo]

I'm still 29. And that's now my official age. Forever.

[lilyophelia(d)]

Really...you're acting like a bunch a squabbling children...act your age <giggles> No, but really...you shouldn't be so sad about getting older. I suppose I'm not in a position to talk from experience, but I don't think...I just mean, that if you wanted a simple life again...one with less responsibility...you could find it somehow...and the whole thing about only being as old as you feel...I think it's pretty true. So, the birthdays... with ever more magnificent numbers attached to them...don't fret them...just make sure you don't let the people around you make feel old, and don't rush away from your youthfulness prematurely, because people around you expect you to...goes with the whole be yourself thing...

Anyway...important count-down dates, hmm? It's a good question. Let's see...Tara would be counting down to full moons and new moons, and...she'd just be realy into the moon phases. And she'd also plan well in advance for all Wiccan holidays...buy flowers and make things, probably, to celebrate the days...She'd count down to weekends, that she could spend with Willow... She'd always be most concerned with when she could see her girl again...count down to the end of classes each day...on and on. She'd probably also count down to, umm...lots of things...Willow's birthday, which she'd plan exquisitely...lots of things...

Willow, would be fanatical with the planning...she'd offer to help Tara keep all her dates organized, just because she'd crave more organization goodness...she'd have all the important school dates in mind...she'd keep budgets and logs and stuff...just so she could be like..."Look baby...look! We spent 26% more on cookie dough and ice cream this week...It's upward trend we should definitely continue." She'd be fanatical about Tara's birthday...starting her preperations each year the day after her last birthday party...much to the amusement of a completely spoiled blonde goddess who will go nameless. Lots of things, like that...

And together, they'd plan for anniversaries, friend's parties, lots of holidays and things like art shows and opening dates for plays....and new movies, that come out...Like Lord of the Rings...They so swore they'd abandon school to go see it together on opening day...much to Willow's very stern dissaproval...Tara promised unlimited candy-buying, and the beautiful red-head caved in...she's always been weak before sweet things...like her baby...and on, and on, and on.

And if they ever broke up, for some awful reason...which I personally don't ever think would be possible or see happening <guilty smiles about editing the state of the Buffy Universe for my own psychological and emotional well-being>, I agree with Xita...they'd spend every moment longing for each other and waiting for the next moment they could see each other...so they could right this horrible wrong...Hearing Joss and Marti and ME?...this is what they would be thinking! Anyway...they're not ever going to break up or be apart ever...so I won't drone on about this really depressing nonpossibility. Have a great weekend kitties

With Lots of Warmth,
Lily O.

[Eric tr]

When my mom reached 29 she decided to stay there forever. Now, whenever someone asks her her age, she says, "29 and holding."

BTW: Less then 2 months until I can finally say goodbye to being a teen. That's right. 20 years of Eric. And no indication that I'm going to turn demon (I hope).

[mmm Willow]

It's my 16th birthday in 6 days. I feel so young and carefree. No, wait, I have my GCSE's to revise for. Ah, the wonders of childhoos.

[skittles]

what kind of countdown would tara & willow countdown until... until the next time they can see each other.... even if it is just ... "how much time until tara is out of class & we can have coffee & kisses & gay love!!" or "1/2 an hour until willow is home from research at the library.." even the short countdowns are good ones..

With regards to aging issues: Just think, when you "claim" 39, you claim to be old enough to vote,18, & drink, 21in most US states, [b:8ba0ff66cd] at the same time!!![/b:8ba0ff66cd]... maybe that's what happened in florida in november 2000... hmmm? too many people drinking & voting at the same time... not a good idea..

Have a happy b'day in two weeks... it's an important one!!

[VampNo12]

I wish I was 18 again, but alas I recently turned 30. However according to my mother I am 18 because she is afraid if she gives out my age they will figure out my mother's real age. And according to her she is 35 and will remain this age until she dies!

As for what W&T are counting down to before their break-up I would say the day Dawn and Buffy are not in the house so they can have their own bonding alone with each other. Also counting down the time they had their first real kiss, made love for the first time, etc. As for after the break-up they are counting down the time they next see each other so they can accidentally touch the other person. Also the time when they can confess their still undying love for each other.

[Willow wtch]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I got my phone line! Woo Hoo.


I dont know if this falls into the category of countdowns but I actually waited 379 days to get the line. Now I can get dsl or something and check the kitty at home! YAY!

It would be very odd for you to be 18 while your mother was 35. Not impossible, but improbable. I feel vaguely like sherlock holmes...

Giants got back to the winnings ways today behind a solid performance by Livan Hernandez who imporved his record to 4-0. Rob Nen scored a save in the ninth, striking out the side with some nasty 94MPH sliders.
The big hit for the Giants came in the form of a 2 run double from Reggie Sanders and a solo HR from Rich Aurilia. Final score from Houston the Giants 3 and the Astros 2.
