Birthday Post

I've been a very bad LJ friend lately, and have missed the birthday's of some wonderful people on my flist. Feel free to give me a slap! ;)

stir_of_echoes is one of the most talented vid makers on my flist. She's also a very talented writer and a wonderful LJ friend. She's always there to offer support when it's needed, and my flist wouldn't be the same without her. I hope you had a wonderful day, Jules! Sending much love and many hugs your way.

ibmiller is new to my flist, but I'm very impressed with what I've seen so far. Definitely an asset to the Buffyverse! I hope you had a great day. :)

ladyanne04 is also someone who I haven't known for long, but I'm hoping to get to know her better in the future. I hope your birthday was everything you would want it to be! :)

whenbuffysmiles is someone who I've known for quite some time now. Not only is she a very talented writer, but she's also someone who has always been there to offer her support when it's needed. I can't even imagine my flist without her on it! I hope you had a fantastic day, and that the year ahead is a good one for you. *love and hugs to you*

And finally someone who is celebrating her birthday today. Wishing a very happy birthday to the incomparable elisi!! Elisi is the queen of the Buffyverse essay, and I'm constantly in awe of her talent. She's also the author of some wonderful Buffyverse stories, which I highly recommend to those of you who haven't read them yet! I hope you're having the perfect day, Elisi. *hugs*

Blood Brothers

It was my husband's 40th birthday on Thursday, so this weekend we celebrated in style by going to see Blood Brothers at the Birmingham Hippodrome.

Wow, what a show! I knew very little about it before going to see it, but I was blown away by it. The acting, the singing, the emotion of it was just outstanding! I've seen lots of shows (both in the West End and here in Birmingham), but Blood Brothers is right up there with the best of them...if not the best. I can't recommend it highly enough! It finished its run in Birmingham last night, but do go and see it if you ever get the chance. You won't regret it! It's funny, sad, heartwarming and in the end heartbreaking, but you don't feel weighed down by misery like you can with some shows. Blood Brothers had us laughing most of the way through, while leaving us heartbroken at the end. The actor who played Mickey was amazing! He could have you laughing one minute and then crying the next. Definitely a performance to remember!

I want to experience it all over again. *sigh*

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Inspired by molly_may's post, I decided to list my own favourite episodes season by season. :)

( Season One )

( Season Two )

( Season Three )

( Season Four )

This is by no means a definitive list. My favourite episodes (especially in the later seasons) have a tendency to change. :)

Part two to follow...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Favourite episodes part two. Part one is here

( Season Five )

( Season Six )

( Season Seven )

That was harder than I thought it was going to be, but I had fun doing it! :)

As I said in my first post, this is by no means a definitive list. My favourite episodes do have a tendency to change, as do my favourite seasons. At the moment S7 is edging out S6, with S5 close behind. I guess I really am a late season girl! :D
