Filed under: lists
Getting to know you, getting to know me. Everyone’s making lists. I wont do the 100 things about ‘I’ because I really don’t know myself well enough for that. But I can do 25…………
1. I grew up in WV. I moved to Europe in 1998. I haven’t left yet.
2. Buffy is my real name. It always has been.
3. I can read Classical and Koine Greek.
4. I disagree with my mother just for the sake of it.
5. I have a thing for Eliza Dushku
6. I wrote my first book when i was 9. About the Aztecs and Incas.
7. I can’t sing. At all.
8. My sister really gets me.
9. I’m planning a trip to China. - We are now going to Dubai.
10. I have a love-hate relationship with Brian Sewell. Sometimes I love him. Most of the time I hate him.
11. I’ve had housemates from WV, VA, NC, NY, Mexico, Brasil, Portugal, Pakistan, Libya, France, Germany, Norway, Greece, Finland, Spain, Northern Ireland and sundry towns throughout England. I got on best with the Irish girl and the communist.
12. I sometimes have seizures. No one knows why.
13. I’ve got a huge crush on Conan O’Brien. I’m serious.
14. I’m interested in the Coptic language but never know what to do with the article when a word is both noun and name. As in Isos Pi Khristos (Isoos Pi’ekhrestos).
15. Bunches of close-together, little-tiny circles scare me. Like frog eggs or honeycombs. Often causes #12.
16. I have several university degrees. I use none of them.
17. My high school history teacher was Harshbarger. Bill.
19. I kinda sorta really did grow up around dead people.
20. I put myself through college on $1.35 an hour.
21. I obsess about my hair and teeth.
22. If I could, I would spend my life as a postgraduate and do nothing but research. I’m a nerd like that.
23. I use to be a criminologist. Victimology was my gig.
24. My pinky toe serves no purpose. It should be chopped off.
25. I could wander Rome forever.

Comment by Stacey 01.08.06 @ 2:37 amBuffy,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Glad you liked it!
I’m fascinated by yours, by the way. I, too, have a million and one little stories in a million and a million little bound books strewn everywhere AND I work in publishing, so you’d think I’d get my act together and just start churning out some worthwhile stuff. Sadly, I’ve got on a permanent pair of lazy pants, but am extremely motivated by you now and will definitely be coming back to visit often!
Peace,
D Lo
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Reading yours, I can tell that you are by far a more superior writer!

Comment by Dagoth 05.22.06 @ 10:53 pmOops; I should have read more before I asked where you are from. I was born in Chas., and lived there until I was 22.
Comment by kenju 05.29.06 @ 10:13 pmHi Buffy,
Had to stop in as I saw your name on Tertia’s blog! I’ve never met another Buffy, so had to say hi. Love your blog, and love your writing! I’ll be looking forward to seeing you on the bookshelves soon.

Hi, there! I’m adding you to my blogroll! Thanks for the comment on my fledgling blog. ![]()
Like Kenju (Judy) I too am from West Virginia - Clendenin 21 miles north of Charleston. Hello from an ex-Mountaineer in place - but still one in heart.
Comment by Mike Ashley 07.04.06 @ 2:08 amhello, tonight I googled my name and I found you. It was interesting to find someone with the same name!
Comment by Buffy Holt 07.06.06 @ 5:38 amHello Buffy,
Thanks for stopping by at my blog. I’ve been reading yours, and your work-in-progress (the prologue gave me chills), and I could read for hours. Your writing is lovely.

Comment by Rossie 07.31.06 @ 1:28 amHeh, you know I didn’t want to travel too far from WV. I got out of the state lines and I haven’t left yet, either. ![]()

Hi I don’t think you remember me but I was raised on Browning lambert mountain. My granny was edna blevins. I just typed in Browning Lambert mountain and your blog popped up. My dad is pistol. I think you went ot school with my stepdaughter, Melody tolliver. It was nice to read about someone from home. Keep up the good work. Tina
I’m from West Virginia too. Great list!
Also, your writing is excellent.
I would really like to help you figure out why small circles make you want to go! Its me Bri, your fellow needle phobe.
p.s. i love your hair:)
I so enjoyed browsing through your blog. I found you through Technorati and glad I did. I’m originally from WV as well….Oceana…close to your neck of the woods. I’ve bookmarked you and will return!
Comment by Shane 02.04.07 @ 5:38 pmso, there’s a cluster of Buffys hitting this site. Real name for me, as well, curious how you got you handle.
Comment by buffy-childerhose 03.06.07 @ 4:54 amChilderhose - Real name for me as well.
Isn’t it funny when you feel compelled to say that? Because you’re so use to everyone assuming it’s not?
I still get ‘official forms’ handed back to me with instructions “Real name please”.
Apparently it stems from some Family Affair show in the 70s.
Comment by Buffy 03.06.07 @ 11:09 ami love that your name is buffy and you have a thing for eliza dushku.
Comment by ruby 03.08.07 @ 12:45 amHere’s another Buffy checking in. It’s my given name as well although for all practical purposes Buffy “Yes that is my given name” Wilson is my real name…lol I got the name due to my generic last name, my folks wanted something unique. I was not named after the Family Affair character. ![]()
I don’t expect you to give up too much info, but I am from Iaeger, WV and stumbled upon your blog due to the Iaeger pic posted. Just curious if you’re from Iaeger…
Comment by jeremy 07.02.07 @ 8:41 amUntil I came across this blog the only buffies I’d heard of was the vampire slayer and the one
from “A Family Affair”
Thanks for stopping by my Midnight Garden. Now, I’m off to explore your place. ![]()
