The Fair Duchess (of Buffonia)

Updated August 20th, 1999

I went to Germany! It was so awesome! If you want to read about it I wrote my own little editorial.

So, you wanna know about me? Well, if you can't already tell, I have a thing for Buffy the Vampire Slayer; obsessed really. The contents of me fall into different catagories. So, here goes:

Buffy Wise

Buffy is my favorite show. I watch and record it every Tuesday. My favorite character is Xander. I also love Willow, Buffy, Cordy, etc; so it's easier to only have one favorite. My favorite episodes are: The Witch, The Pack, I Only Have Eyes For You, Go Fish (for the Xander plot and many steam room scenes, hey, even I get to be superficial!), The Wish, The Zeppo. I started this website because I know alot about the show and I didn't have much else to do. I use the name Duchess of Buffonia in reference to the Xander quote from Halloween.

Well, on the Buffy front. I'm feeling macho deprived! It's been six weeks since we've had a new episode! But, the breif hiatus has allowed me to have a life! (or at least a non-obsessive one!) So, my personal section is herby buffed up now! But, one thing: my love for Xander has increased. Not only do I continue to love him, but I'm now an active B/X-er. Hmmm, I guess that's all the Buffy stuff for now!

Hello all! Well, the season is over. I saw G2 on realplayer, and it is so good! I can't wait to see Earshot... I'm still an active B/X-er. Oh! I'm now converting three people to Buffyism! I've cataloged my tapes and am lending them out! It feels great! I saw Austin Powers today. I love Seth Green! He looked so cute. I now have a new found respect for Oz. He has definately moved up on my favorite character list.

My friend Jenni finished watching all my Buffy episodes. She loves the show. I have officially converted my first person! She's now writing her first Buffy fic! Yeah! Otherwise, on the Buffy front; I started my own B/X site. It's called Beloved by the Zeppo

Music

Right now, I'm into angsty women. I can't seem to stray away from them! My all time favorite is Fiona Apple. I think she is the most amazing musician, her piano parts are phenominal. Others I love are: Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Janet Jackson, Brandy, Madonna, Mariah Carey. Okay, so they're not all so angsty! My favorite bands are Radiohead and Third Eye Blind. I'm not really big on bands, but every once and a while I find a favorite. I leaving out a lot of my music interests, but I can't think of them all. Basically, I love everything on MTV plus a bunch of other stuff!

A lot has been going on lately! I now include Cake as one of my favorite bands! Now, if I'd only get around to actually buying the cd! (or Mike could lend it to me again.. *hint, hint*) I also bought the Ally McBeal soundtrack! I really love it. Now, Tell Him is like my unofficial theme song! Plus, it has some great oldies. I wish Buffy would do a "Vonda Shepard like music thing". But, then it would be Buffy McBeal, wouldn't it!

Also, I went to Music Midtown with a friend of mine. That's the Atlanta version of a rock festival. I saw Everclear live. It was... interesting! But, they played some really good songs. The only thing is that now, I swear I've got cancer from all the second hand smoke! (*sarcasm!*)

Well, I mentioned that I go to Chorus, huh? I listen the tape of our Christmas concert, and I was rockin! I'm not even kidding! I always thought I sounded... icky, but I actually sound really good! I'm way proud. And, yesterday, I got to sing my first entire song as a solo. Of course, I played the damsel in distress thing and sang "Someone to Watch Over Me". So, that was way fun! In fact, it was the day after I went to Music Midtown!

Hi! Music has been lovely for me lately. I'm improving on On My Own everyday: which is my own personal goal song. What goal you ask? Well, I always have a song where it is my goal to absolutely rock when I sing it. On My Own (from Les Miserables) has been on my list since... forever. I learned how to really push my air on one part so it's really strong, but not flat. I'm way happy. I heard the cd from my concert mentioned above. I can't believe it's me!!!! I actually sound kinda professional! Well, professional for my age. That made me really happy. I now have a recording of myself I can play for my friends and such and proudly declare with a giddy smile: "That's me!". Yea!

Personal

All right, the dirt! I'm not gonna go into age, but I'm not ten or anything. I'm a teenager, I go to high school. I'm 5'9, green eyes, strawberry blond hair, stuff like that... I'm not a big sports person, but it's not like I don't try. I just don't have the skills! Most of my life is spent on the internet, watching tv, or reading. Oh, yea. Music. Lots of music. I sing. Every Sunday I attend a chorus because I wouldn't touch the school one with a ten foot pole. The television I watch other than Buffy is: Ally McBeal, Law & Order, ER, Simpsons, and X-Files. My favorite book is Rebecca by Daphene Du Marier. Right now, I have to read the Andromeda Strain for English... Someone help me on that one! My favorite subject is Biology. And, I have an amazing talent of being able to make my life seem as boring as possible! When I can spice it up, I'll edit.

A lot has been going on! I'm now incredibly active in my school's Key Club. I know, you're thinking: huh? That's what I thougt the first time I heard the name. It's a community service club. So, I went to our district convention, and it really jump started me. I also went to a Minitown weekend, where me and many other students from my school learned to work together, etc. Then I worked for four hours at our car wash and got sunburned down to my calf muscles. But, all for a good cause, we made $440 dollars! Then, I volunteered at the Special Olympics. That was really fun! Now, I'm in charge of the Relay for Life. I have to organize a team that will walk to raise money for cancer research.

Okay, prepare for happy news: I recently went stark raving boy crazy! Are ya proud of me? I thought I was crazy before: Nicholas Brendon being my night in shining armor and all, but now, I like... real people! I don't know what happened, but I started buying makeup and actually wearing it! All kinds of things. I now dress to impress more, etc. I feel like a girly girl. Oh well!

I'm still boy crazy! Now I have a list of "crushworthiness". I think I'm psychotic! Well, on the personal front: wow. It's officially summer vacation! I'm going to LA in a few weeks, and most importantly; I'm going to Germany in July. I'm so looking forward to it! I also think I aced my finals, which means I may have all A's this semester! That would mean so much to me since I figured out that if I make all A's consistantly, my chances for scholarship will increase. Finals time was fun. But, I actually miss school... well not school; the people at school.

I went to LA the other week. I'm in love with California. It's majorly beautiful. I went to Santa Monica my last day there, loved it. I've discovered a new store that is awesome. It's called Anthropology and has the cutest clothes and home decorations. But, it's only in California *sigh*. I went to Universal Studios twice, yes, twice. Warning: if you go on Jurasic Park the Ride, you will get completley soaked. This isn't your ordinary splash ride: you get drenched. Almost as if they immersed you in a pool. But, it was fun.

Lakeside High School

I have school pride! I'm now on the school webteam and get to use their fancy webtools. One of them is a digital camera. I just took these shots of my school. And, more shots will be forthcoming of Key Club stuff, etc!

That's about it for now. There's alot more, but I can't think right now. Oh, yea! I lived in Washington D.C. for eleven years, then I moved to Atlanta, Ga. Just like Alyson Hannigan! (minus the exact years)
