True love and gristle

Joss Whedon joked at the Posting Board:

“Yes, the Buffy Angel romance is based on something from my own life. A very similar situation, except obviously I’m not a vampire, and the girl was a little taller, and her name was Emily, and a year older than me, and she didn’t really like me, and I just kind of hung around outside her bedroom once or twice, not peeking or anything, but you know, and the one time I talked to her she was eating hamburger and she choke on this piece of gristle and coughed in my face, her friends were all laughing but I kept the gristle in my memories book, at first it kinda smelled but then it got hard so that wasn’t so bad, I don’t think Emily really knew my name exactly, but our love was forbidden, i’m pretty sure I remember that. So, yeah, I AM Angel. But in a Snyder kind of way.”
