Yes, I've just used this policy on Roswell. Hated what they did to Tess, switched over to Smallville immediately after Buffy finishes.

I know. I wrote in my journal last night and was slightly freaked out by the intensity of my emotions. I realized then and there that I needed to "leave my ego at the door" and start making some changes. I thought that when the Spike debate settled down, now that he is definitely getting better and B/S is going to happen, I could go back to the boards that I shied away from since February. It hit me over the head last night, that with AtS, I'm getting equally nervous and anxious, so I felt it was time to quit and focus on what made *me* happy, not care about what other people online think.

There comes a time when you become to darn involved with something and you need to take a step back. I'm going to post here whenever I can and continue to focus on what makes me happy. It's the only way to maintain my peace of mind and sanity.

Ever play the Sims? I find it a remarkable tool in helping me achieve a balance in my 'ships. I downloaded Buffy/Angel skins and put A/C or D/A together whenever I felt like it, regardless of what the show is supporting at the moment. That game is quite theraputic.

>Good luck, Khali. =)

Good luck to you, too, Blue. :)
