Oh, me too! I didn't actually start watching Buffy until just after the series had ended. (Angel was in its fifth season while I watched all of Buffy and Angel; I fell one week short of managing to catch up to the present and watch AtS's series finale live). So I was watching Buffy go through high school when I was already in grad school; so she felt much younger than me!

But yeah, like you said. Here we are, all in our 40s now! So strange.
