Title: Getting to Know You (Writing Exercise)
Archive: ff.net
Summary: This is a little thing that helps you understand characters and work your writing ability,
two things I very badly need. I got the idea from Sarah B, a chick I don't think any of you know,
but credit goes to her.
Disclaimer: The idea and characters both don't belong to me.
Comments: Yes, I made names up where I had no clue as to what they really were. Keep in mind
this is an exercise. And to the chick who keeps telling me Spike is no longer evil but never leaves
her e-mail address where I can debate the topic: You are entitled to whatever opinion floats your
boat, as am I. I believe that Spike was evil, and no chip that forces him through pain is going to
change that. Spike is not a nice guy, and I resent him as such. If it weren't for the pain, would he
be any different? No. Spike, without the chip, as I assume Joss will be returning him to the chip-
less state, is a dark, evil, VAMPIRE. At any rate, he's leaving the show and I won't have to worry
about the ass hole.

NAME: Elizabeth Anne Summers
LIVING ARRANGEMENT: A house on Rovello Drive. (Or something like that)
FAVORITE PASTIME: Dusting, but not the domestic kind.
THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD IS: Being with those who I love, and love me.
THE WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD IS: Feeling alone. That, or failure.
FAVORITE SMELLS: My house, roses, and home cooked food
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK IN THE MORNING: Damn the sun for rising. Damn my
alarm clock for going off.
SLAYING- SCARY OR EXCITING: A lot of both. Not so much fear, because most of the things I
slay regularly are old enemies, things I've encountered before. A good fight gets the adrenaline
going.
FAVORITE FOODS: Chocolate, ice cream, peanut butter, and pop rocks.
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA: Chocolate, definitely. Vanilla is for the weak of heart. ?
STORMS, COOL OR SCARY: So cool. We don't get much lightning here, and I love it. Rain is the
greatest sound, so comforting and refreshing.
FAVORITE DRINK: Hot coca with marshmallows, cherry coke, diet sprite
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD IT BE: No more vamps,
demons, or anything of the sort. I think I could make an exception in the vamp category, but
that's it.
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE: I'd be more
understanding, and have less or a temper. I get too worked up over things, but when my friends
really need me, I'm too busy, or too wrapped up in my own stuff to really try to help them.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE: Is anyone else going to see this? Yeah, I have. Its something
that doesn't really come around often, and now it's over, I wish I could have it back, but he kind-
of doesn't want much to do with me these days…
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL: It depends on what you're talking about. If it's
literally speaking, yes. When I drink half of my soda, or whatever it may be, I see it as half gone,
but in the meaning of life, no. I like to think of it as half full. I'm more of a pessimist, but I try to
be optimistic about things. Which is hard, on the hellmouth.
WHAT'S IN YOUR ANXIETY CLOSET: The entire Slayer thing. I don't really attract many new
friends, and that might be good, seeing as how I have to be out patrolling all night. Angel: I have
no idea where we stand anymore, and I don't like to talk about it too much. My entire
abandonment issue thing, Dad, Angel, Mom, the list goes on.
WHAT'S YOUR LOFTIEST DREAM: I want to be the absolute best slayer ever. I want to graduate
from college with honors.
WHAT'S YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE: That I'll die without telling (you're sure no one is going to
see this) Angel how I really feel. I don't want to fail at my job, because when my family and
friends suffer, I've failed.
WHAT DO YOU WISH PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT YOU THAT YOU FELL THEY DON'T: I wish they
knew I care about them more than anything. I want them to realize that I keep going because
they're there for me, and that is what keeps me fighting, risking everything.
WHAT OTHER PERSON WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ANSWER THIS: Angel, Giles, and Dawn. I
know so little about them, even after everything we've been through.
