Don&#8217;t know why I believed that &#8212; though I *think* I read somewhere that Clay&#8217;s single is #1 on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon.com<\/a>. I guess I just assumed that that sealed the deal. I hear they&#8217;re both releasing albums at the same time so it doesn&#8217;t really matter. I think the record contract in itself is more important than the competition.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Buffy series finale, it was amazing. I was so happy to see the Scoobies working together again &#8212; just like old times. I had a huge smile on my face during their scene in the hallway &#8212; &#8220;the Earth is definitely doomed.&#8221; And I especially loved that Buffy finally got to become a &#8220;normal girl&#8221; at the end. Wow, so it really is the end. Another obsession &#8212; gone. I wasn&#8217;t involved in the fandom of BtVS like I was with <i>Dawson&#8217;s Creek<\/i> but it entertained and inspired me week after week, much like a really good friend. And I&#8217;m sad to see it end.<\/p>\n<p>A Buffy\/Angel exchange from the finale that I love:<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s different. He&#8217;s different. He has a soul now.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Ah. Well.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;What?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s great. (mumbles) Everybody&#8217;s got a soul now.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;He&#8217;ll make a difference!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yeah, well, I started it. The whole having a soul. Before it was all the cool new thing.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Oh my God, are you twelve?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m getting the brush-off for Captain Peroxide. It doesn&#8217;t necessarily bring out the champion in me.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You&#8217;re not getting the brush-off! Are you just gonna come here and go all Dawson on me every time I have a boyfriend?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hee. I love the Dawson reference. Funn-ay stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yay for Ruben! \ud83d\ude42 I have no preference between Clay and Ruben &#8212; I think they&#8217;re both amazing &#8212; but I honestly thought Clay was going to win.
