buffy, meet edward. the end.
guys, there is nothing, NOTHING i could possibly write today that would top the following video.
basically, it’s an answer to a prayer. because it’s high time for the slayer to show up and kick the pants out of edward cullen. edward, honey, you’re hot (albeit pasty), but you’re a CREEPY STALKER SEXIST VAMPIRE AND BUFFY NEEDS TO PUT YOU IN YR PLACE.
and so, yeah, i’m devoting the entirety of today’s entry to this video. because it is that awesome.
PLEASE WATCH IT IMMEDIATELY.
that felt good, didn’t it? finally, a girl who can talk to edward without swooning/erupting into shrieks/tripping over something. and not only talk to him, but STAKE THE PANTS OUT OF HIM.
of course now i feel like i need to re-watch the entire buffy series just so i can remind myself that kickass high school heroines do, in fact, exist. i am SO TIRED of these lame-o damsels in distress. i shake my fist at you, stephanie meyer!!!!!
then again, i could just re-read “hunger games.” katniss is totally the new buffy, FYI.*
p.s. i stole the title of this post from a t-shirt that my friend lauren told me about but failed to actually purchase for me. AHEM.
*you can expect a future post about this topic. mark my pants!

squee of the day: baby foxes!! they are the SOFTEST!!!!
have y’all seen the new cast pictures from tim burton’s “alice in wonderland”? i have a v. bad feeling that this movie is going to give me even more heebie jeebies than carol channing in the 1985 version. and you KNOW that shizz was traumatizing.
dear emma watson: i’ve heard you want to be normal. it just so happens that i would be *delighted* to be an international super star and all around gorgeous person who gets to model high fashion. so, do we have a deal or what?!!! PAGE ME.

my kitten had ears like a fennec fox when she was a baby.
the alice in wonderland photos are crazy amazing.
i still want to read “hunger games.”
eden was pretty psyched you posted this video. giddy would be an accurate description.
I can’t get enough of that video! Oh, Buffy. There’s a whole in my heart that can only be filled by your stake.
GAH THAT VIDEO IS SO GOOD. I can’t get over the quality of it! It KICKS ASS.
But it also makes me sad and reminds me that Buffy herself did not maintain that level of awesome feminist badassery throughout her own show.
I’m putting those Burton pics on my blog today, and I’m totally going to link to this video here!
too true, meredith. in fact, i just read an essay today that blames buffy for making vampires all emo and shizz. it raises some good points:

even though i love spike in general, i agree that his story lines in the last few seasons were lame and weird and, well, v. edward cullen. and we were all unhappy with buffy– although at least she was unhappy with herself, so there was some acknowledgment of the writers kind of screwing stuff up.
with that said, i think buffy, as a feminist figure and an all-around kickass heroine, still stands the test of time. esp. given the time we’re in now, what with lame-o bella and even sookie stackhouse (true blood, i love you, but come on. sookie needs to start throwing some punches).
Well said!
The Alice pictures will give me nightmares. The Buffy video will give me sweet dreams. Is that a wash?
