I think Quinn is still a virgin. At the party, she told Joey, Jeffy, and Jamie that she felt they were pushing her toward something she wasn't ready for.
Yes, someone save us the day that Quinn actually goes out with a guy for longer than.. (checks watch) two weeks... or one week even. And did anyone notice that the music in the opening sequence was different than it is in later episodes? More.. backed up... a bit more 'rock and rollish' than the later version...?

Whoa, I didn't think anybody else had noticed that. Yes, I'm sure it was a different (and better, IMHO) version that played from "Esteemers" through to "Cafe Disaffecto"

Well I'll be a Fashion Club president, it does say Esteemsters!!!
Yes, but in "This Year's Model", Quinn got a little....antsy when it came to touching Joey's(I think, anyway) chest. So it seems to me Quinn just does what she wants;she is obviously the one in control in all her fleeting "relationships."
I noticed the difference immediately. It seemed to me like they recorded the song for the pilot -- which was probably made quite a bit in advance of the remaining shows, given the huge differences in the voices of some of the charactes (MS. Li and Brittany, to name two) -- and when the show was given the green light, they re-recorded a "better" version.

She is definitely a virgin. Remember in "Gifted", after she had been kicked out by all the other fashion club members. If she had been sleeping with some boy, wouldn't she have tried going to his house rather than to Jane, of all people?
No she isn't. A Scorpio girl would be more...Er, intense. Daria has a very "stong" personality - but it isn't like a Scorpio's. She's either a Capricorn or a Virgo. She seems a lot like an Earth sign. Taurus?
Tell that to Mickey Mouse.

Hmm...I'm a virgo... Anyway, I don't know much about astrology, but maybe Quinn is a Libra. I think Libras are the popular ones (though, I'm wrong a lot). ~Charlotte~
Libras are the social ones,according to most of what I've read. (I'm proof against that. <g>)
*snickers* We're supposed to be balanced. I've always found that funny; if anything, I'm unbalanced. Libras are supposed to be peacemakers, too.
I guess in the social aspect, Quinn is Libra-like, but I don't think of Quinn (and her values & goals) as particularly balanced, and certainly not as a peacemaker.
I read somewhere that astrology is admittedly not very accurate unless one gets a personal chart done that takes into account day, time of birth, place of birth, et al, so unless we know the "actual" birthdates of Daria & co., it'd be hard to nitpick. I guess.
I really should stop posting stuff at 2 a.m. It make me look less intelligent than usual.
Only Jake and Helen's star(or is it sun) signs are mentioned in the Diaries.
I'm a Gemini, and I'm the complete opposite of Quinn, the only reason I'm aware of what my star, or whatever sign is, is that the yankees named a space programme after it.
<<I assumed California, for some reason, but I think it was Highland that was in California (Beavis & Butt-head). It never seems to snow, but it does rain quite a bit this season ("Daria Hunter", "Monster", "I Don't", etc.)- also note that in "I Don't", Daphne et al speak with Southern accents. It's probably meant to be one of those drab Everytowns.>>
I heard the town Lawndale is an actual town in California, so I would say California. Highland on the other hand, is a debate. I would say it's also in California, but many believe it's in Texas.
Oh no, I hope what this turns into isn't what I think it will turn into. There has always been a debate on the simpsons ng about which state Springfield is in and on the show it's a running gag(i.e. they come close but never actually tell you). Now in reality, there are spingfields in like 30-some states(there's the joke). While this isn't an issue on Daria(from the writer's pov, anyway), I would be willing to bet there are Lawndales in more than one place.
Mike I apoligize for confusing anyone with my choppy and fragmented sentences.
Lawndale is indeed an actual town in California...it's just south of Los Angeles near the coast. Lawndale was the home of SST Records, the label started by Black Flag.
Lawndale always strikes me as either being in the Midwest (remember the trip to that huge mall?) or on the East Coast (remember the trip to the College that Daria's parents met at?)
I live in LA. Daria's Lawndale doesn't strike me as being very SoCal. It could be somewhere in the Silicon Valley or in Marin County, but that's way north of here.
My guess is Lawndale, Connecticut or Lawndale, Illinois.
Hey, *I* live in (Northern/Bay Area) California... and let me tell you, we've been having some very icky floods indeed here the last couple of years. Just because its California doesn't mean it can't rain dogs and cats and frogs here all bloody winter.
Jessica :-) (Who is NOT going to put in anything as to where she thinks Lawndale is. Except that she thinks the whole debate is silly.)
What is Daria's Sign?: What Is Her Sister's Sign?: What is Jane's sign??: <<
Can't help you there. No data available as far as I know.
Probably. See previous references to her comments in "Ill."
Probably. See previous reference to her statement to the three Js in "The Invitiation." Also, witness her reaction in "This Year's Model" when asked to run her hands over the naked chest (such as it was) of her modeling partner on stage.
(sigh) There's been a way too extended debate on this topic over in the "Planet Daria" message board. I'm almost ashamed to say I've been a part of it. Almost. Anyway, my contention was that if it's supposed to be anywhere in particular, it'd be the Potomac River valley in either Maryland or Virginia. If you want the supporting data, check the Planet Daria board.
It says in The Daria Diaries that Helen is a Cancer and Jake is a Capricorn. If Jane's birthday is around this Monday (thus Trent shopping for a b-day present) it would mean that Jane is a Leo. Oh, by the way, isn't Jane turning 17? On Daria Day Daria and Jane said that they were both 16. Since D-Day was some months ago, wouldn't Jane be turning 17? If I'm wrong, please correct :)

Daria: I just need to go to the bathroom... Jane: Good idea. Check your lack of makeup.
DISCLAIMER: this is idle speculation on something that probably should not be speculated on!
Well, not being one to want to blow the whole thing out of porportion, and being one who lives in "the Old North State," I always thought that Lawndale was either in PA, OH, or MD after "I Don't" (hence close enough to "Leeville," a generic Southern resort town, probably in Va.-- though there is a Leesville in NC) If Lawndale were in NC, I'd expect to see a few more monster trucks in the school parking lot. (Yes, I went to HS in the suburban part of Charlotte, and we had a few monster trucks in the school parking lot. <shivers, then chuckles>). I'd also expect to see a few more Southern accents floating around, and the ugly head of agribusiness class or the FFA would have to show itself. (Good God, I still remember having to endure that culture shock as a young transferred suburbanite.) There's nothing like having to learn all the names of the cuts of beef and pork to help you fit in at a new school!

Jake: "...I LOVE camping! ..... Has anybody seen my pants?"
Isn't that part of the reason for the newsgroup? To discuss the episodes, provide info, and speculate on things? As far as what state Daria lives in, everyone will have their own vision of where things take place.
