Thanks for sharing your vampire origins! In some ways, they parallel mine: I watched Dracula: Dead and Loving It at a relatively young age (that was the version of the story that introduced me to Renfield), struggled through the original novel later on (though not until I was in my twenties, I believe), and fell in love with the story anew during Dracula Daily.
I binged the first five seasons of Buffy in 2006, on DVDs that I rented from an actual video store in Providence. I vividly remember emailing some of my episode reactions to my friend who lived in a different city.
I really loved them for a while, though I never much cared for Anita as a character, and it drove me crazy the way every time she changed her clothes we got pages of information about: what she was wearing, how she felt about what she was wearing, what weapons she could wear with the outfit, how well or poorly the weapons would be concealed, and how she felt about those weapons.
IT'S TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT. She also described her boyfriends' clothing from time to time; the line "there was nothing under the pants but him" apparently still lives in my head.
I love talking about vampires and fannish nostalgia with you!
