Okay, this is the third time I've tried to post - last time I typed in too much.

First of all, thanks, G, for suggesting I post here. Here's a link to my web site, which has a more complete report, plus pictures Julie's MR report (www.geocities.com/bconnmom/MRpics/index.htm). I'm not sure how to load a picture up here - if you can figure it out, G, you are more than welcome to do so. Just give me the photo credit :-) I will continue to add more stuff the next day or so, plus I think I'll start adding my fanfic there as well, and Cass' too.

The man is most definitely hot!! You can tell he's been working out again (he said that he stopped for a while, because he was sick and tired of having to take his shirt off. We all liked it, but I can't blame him for getting tired of being treated like a piece of meat.) He laughed when he said that as soon as he found out that he was done shooting any scenes where he'd have to take off his shirt, he started working out again immediately. *sigh* He has very broad shoulders, considering how short he is - I don't know exactly how short, because I was never standing next to him. The picture was taken sitting down, he was sitting, of course, for the autograph stuff, and standing on stage where I couldn't judge his height. I would think though, that he's a bit taller than me - 5' 8" or 5' 9", I would think. Really, really nice arms, too! He told the funniest story, when someone asked him about his most embarrassing fan encounter. He was at a convention in the UK, and two elderly ladies, maybe 75 or 80, came up to him, and one asked him for a favor. She asked him to "bend over", which he did (he's laughing the whole time he's telling this), and then the other woman grabbed his butt and asked him to "clench", which I guess he did, but he decided that he needed boundaries with fans after that! Man, did we all laugh (and of course, are muttering that those two had all the luck!)

He is so sweet, and totally adorable up close! The picture with him was great, I got to shake his hand three (or maybe four) different times *grin*, he is REALLY cute up close, his hair is growing out and has the dark roots (the hair of redemption lol), he liked the stuffed beanie baby moose I gave him, and he liked the fact that I told him I enjoyed his part in "Winding Roads" (when I said that to him before they took our picture, he turned to me and looked me right in the eyes and said "Well, thank you!" with this intense little tone in his voice *sigh*) I can't wait to see how the picture turns out, although I can't remember if his arm was around me or not, that's how NERVOUS I was. But I didn't babble.

During the Saturday Q & A, when I asked the question about whether Spike thought Buffy really loved him when she said "I love you" to him at the end, James said (and his voice got really quiet before he answered) that no, he didn't think she loved him really, and that he thought that Buffy really loved Angel. But it sounded like Spike was okay with it, because he was doing the noble thing. So there you have it - from his own lips. And remember, no matter what James may think, Joss is the ONLY one who really knows where the truth lies, and he left the ending of BtVS ambiguous as far as the whole S/B/A triangle.

There's more stuff over on my web site, so go take a look if you're so inclined.

G. glad your hand is doing better - enjoy your vacation!

Glad you enjoyed my pictures! I will try to get the rest of them uploaded to my site soon. Especially the ones of James, Tony and Amber. All lovely people to talk to - no wonder we like their characters so much.

And OMG! I guess I didn't realize that my question would start such a firestorm. It's the question that Cass, Gamiila and I have been pondering since the finale (well, especially Cass and I, since G still hasn't seen it yet, right, G?)

I am just glad that Spike will come back on AtS, and James said this about it:
He is excited about AtS, because he said there are a LOT of good writers for Spike, and that he thought that AtS was a better fit for Spike, storywise. He said he hopes Angel and Spike don't like each other and have an antagonistic relationship on the show. When someone asked him about Spike becoming human, he was disbelieving and said that was "misinformation" - Spike would hate becoming human! When someone in the audience called out "Shanshu", he started laughing and went into Spike's voice with the "I'm drowning in footware", and had a funny little story about filming that - he did that bit, and they had to shoot it over because Joss started laughing so much about the way James did it, and it was heard on film.

Julie

You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed them!

I apologize to you, and anyone else who hasn't been able to get through yet - I think it's a function of Geocities. Hey, it's a free site, though :-)

I just e-mailed you, also - I'll take you up on your invitation about the code. Then I shall no longer be "Anonymous" ;-)

Thank you!

Jul

for sharing that and your website address with us! Sorry to hear you had trouble loading stuff on here, but it would seem you managed it in the end!

I'd load your pics here in two shakes, but as you know I'm not at my own PC with all the nifty s/w and stuff. On the plus side, my hand seems better so I expect to go back to work sooner rather than later...
