Angelholics Anonymous
Here are what some crazy obsessed Angel fans have spent thier hard earned paychecks on. I think Danita has won this little game. She should just send her paycheck straight to the WB.
Danita (Marge, Satan, whichever name you prefer)
Update on Nov. 27:
OH my God. I just went to eBay to check how much I've spent in the
past 30 days (all of which has been Buffy and Angel stuff). This is
sick. Sick and wrong.
$249.04 Most of this (if not all) was spent on trading cards. I am a
trading card fiend.
This does not include the latest $70 EACH (therefore $140) I have
spent buying a box of Angel 2 cards and Buffy 5 cards. (See, 90% of
the eBay shit is to get the rare and insert cards I don't get when I
buy a box. For example, $35 or so of that eBay gluttony was for ONE
ultra rare Angel case topper card. It's his "business" card and on
the back is "written" "If you ever need our help call - A" and it's
got that dorky Angel logo that Cordelia came up with on the front.)
It's bad. Because once I decide I want something, I will kill anyone
who gets in my way on eBay - that's why I paid so fucking much for
that business card. I wasn't going to let these fucks beat me.
I also got Toni the DB calendar for Christmas - about $15?
Chuck in another $20 (approx) for comics and then the storage box and
plastic sleeves for my comics.
Oh lord. The DVDs. You know I had the foreign DVD player. Let's see -
I had bought the first season of Buffy a while back - there's $50ish.
I bought seasons 2 and 3 - at approximately $80 each. (Depending on
the exchange rate as it's a British website.) I have pre-ordered
Angel season 1 DVDs for about $70. I also have the US version of
Buffy DVDs pre-ordered at $35ish.
I just bought the US Angel calendar. $15ish.
And god help me, the Buffy Collectible Card Game is coming out on
December 14. I pre-ordered some packs of THAT. And I can only imagine
that I will be hunting for the ultra-rare and rare cards from that on
eBay as well. I should start a fund drive on my website. I should
just UPDATE my website for one.
How sick am I? Very sick. Yes, I know.
Update on Aug. 22:
Danita spent her tax check on a Dvd player ($314.00) to play the Buffy dvds. Hey, it's not a BAD investment.....
Update on 4-11-01:
I just bought an autographed (not preprinted, actually autographed in marker) photo of David Boreanaz. And the bitch of it all? It's the photo of him NAKED in the BATHTUB!!!!!!!
And here's an update she sent me on 3/24/01:
Trading cards = $26
Limited Lithograph = $25 (god does he look good in it)
"Oh god, where to start on my economic fascination with the great A? Does Buffy
stuff related to him count? Because he started on Buffy?
Comics: Avg $3 a shot at about 16 = $48
Stupid poster book "Essential Angel" =$8
That gorgeous 6 foot cardboard= $30
One fake tattoo=$3
Watchers Guide 1 &2 (hey, he's in there)=$38
Two iron ons (and a burned bar stool)=$8
Box set 1,2, &3 of BtVs (he's in there)=3x35= $105
Calendars
one US=$13
one UK=$15
Angel cast picture=$5
Various magazines I have bought because His Gorgeousness was in there (I'm
including TV Guide because that's the ONLY reason I buy it)= $30
One Buffy fanclub membership also because of His Gorgeousness=$30? can't
remember
One soundtrack (which he's on the cover of)=$15
One ticket to that godawful Valentine movie because of H.G.=$7
Time,labor, and materials spent on the EA Manwich sndtrck (which should make me
the RULER of all excepting those of you who manage websites)=$60 guesstimate
It's like taxes, I'm writing it ALL off! I can't believe how much this little
obsession costs me."

"I'm the one who spent $550 on that special snazzy VCR that would play tapes from anywhere in the world just so I could own the British Buffy box sets. I freely admit I have a problem :)"
