Where the lord split her

A secret about me: I was a fangirl. Am returning to fangirldom. Am a fangirl.

I haven't been a fangirl for nearly two years. I (stupidly) tried to grow up when I moved to Atlanta. Either that, or the lack of internet prevented the propagation of such a commitment. I moaned a bit here and there about how fun it was, how I missed it, but overall I thought my life was decent without it.

THAT WAS A LIE!

I spent the past few hours minutes, perusing through Firefly stuff and oh my gods, I am the biggest nerd! My previous fandom of choice was Lord of the Rings. But I have moved on. The world has moved on. I apologize Elijah Wood, but I am moving on. Like I said, to Firefly. If only Nathan Fillion was flicking ME off....

I am going to admit something else, and I can hear the groans already, but is there anyone out there wanting to go to Dragon Con? I was ignorant of the fact that Alan Tudyk was here five months ago. In my city. Steve the Pirate. That guy from A Knight's Tale who isn't the fat one or Paul Bettany or Jack Twist's lover. WASH. But I will be ignorant no more. Coming this year: Neville Longbottom, Fred and George Weasley, and Lee Odama and Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica. And dammit, I want to go.

You are reading this and thinking "...And she wonders why her life is so lonely..." But this is not the reason why, I tell you. Because something I've learned is that everyone has there little strange obsessions. Things they'd rather die than admit they not only like, but love love love. And then there's me, spouting it off for the whole world to read. I don't care, I tell you. I WANT TO GO TO DRAGON CON.

That reminds me, I need to finish watching all the Firefly episodes.

Also, why do they have 'staches in that picture?

Because it's funny. Why is it funny? I just don't know. But it is.

When you've got a minute (or thirteen), you should watch the blooper reel.

What's Firefly? What's Dragon Con? What's a FanGirl? Who are you? You are supposed to be my hetero-life-mate and I don't even know you.

Even Silent Bob has his secrets...

Muahahahahaha!

Dude, the scene in that blooper reel where Nathan keeps switching places had me rolling.

I started watching the reel and thought "Okay, so what, this isn't really that hilarious" and then that part came on and I thought I would wet myself - "HAHA He's beside everyone... and now he's in the coffin."

Umm, maybe I should stop drinking wine with dinner. I think it's cracking me out...

I've just decided to let my inner fangirl blossom. and it's totally Nathan Fillion's fault. I think I'm going to Wondercon, just because he's going to be there.

GAH! Take me with you!! I just realized Nathan and I have the same birthday. This can mean only one thing - Nathan and I are destined to meet and he will surely sign my breasts.

By the way, I thought you went back to work? Put down the mouse, the giant KoolAid chapstick, and the Blythe doll, and get your ass back to the lab and make me some damn chemicals!

I'm glad you're returning to fangirldom. I will randomly get fangirly for a little period of time, and then it stops. I think it's because sometimes I feel like I'm getting too stalkery and I don't like feeling like a stalker. Hehe.

I'd go to Dragon Con w/ you if it weren't in Atlanta! LOL!!

Welcome to this post, B.

Stalkery. You mean like celery?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ATLANTA?!?!!

random muse said...

I love making new words. Stalkery. Yes, like celery. ;-)

Nothing is wrong with Atlanta, except you are there and I am here. Sadness. :(

beag air bheag said...

That is sadness.
