Que la Force soit avec... moi.

I have a message for a certain Birthday Girl. Joyeux Anniversaire, french_hobbit! You went through quite a lot of changes the past months and I can only wish that, should you go through more of them, they'll all be positive and will bring you happiness. Then, I can't not wish you even more hot and naughty Lotrips for the coming year, of course, because one can never get too much slash in one's life *kisses*

Watched the Star Wars Special they did on M6 last night - they're airing the five films, one each Monday, and yesterday was Ep II + a documentary on the first trilogy + episodes of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series - and I was bouncing in my chair during the documentary. I mean, it wasn't even the film just the story of how the trilogy came to life but it was so exciting and, just, you know how it turned out and it makes watching the whole process so much more interesting - also you can't help cheer on and ache for George Lucas when the filming proves to be a nightmare and he's getting himself sick when it feels like Star Wars [La Guerre des Etoiles for us, btw] won't ever complete and man, I felt so sad for him, even though I knew the success he was going to meet afterwards. Also, I can't help be a bit envious of those who watched the trilogy when it first came out. You know, when it was truly new - I wonder how it was. They were showing the crowd, the lines in front of the theaters and just, wow!

Oh and re:SW III coming out tomorrow, btw? I'm starting to doubt Henry and I will make it. If we don't, it means - considering RL right now - that I won't be able to go before two weeks maybe and that's wrong on so many levels, you know? But it's okay, as long as I get to see it *g*

Changing the subject now, how sweet is that, we can officially pre-order Lost - The Complete First season - which reminds me that I found a pretty cheap multi-region DVD player - which also plays Divx and stuff - and I'm seriously wondering whether I could dare ask the parental unit to offer it to me for my birthday *chews lower lip* Oh and I also have to watch the last episode of Lost, btw. It's sitting on my computer, waiting and waiting.

Changing the subject again - quite a few Larry/Charlie have been posted the past few days over at numb3rs_slash. That's really sweet, like it officially gives the fandom some diversity in its pairings and everyone knows diversity is the spice of life and all that *g* And speaking of diversity there's also been this Don/David fic posted as well. Haven't read it yet, but if some of you are interested - and if you don't already belong to the comm. You never know, after all *g*

What else, what else? Oh, something of even less importance, but if someone could put an APB on the sun, maybe? Cause I would appreciate it. Not that I don't like pulling a Blair and adding layer after layer because I'm cold, but we're mid-May and wearing one shirt plus one turtleneck plus two sweatshirts is nothing short of ridiculous. I'm just sayin'.

ETA: Okay so that might technically be sorta lame, but I just couldn't resist and actually found the result awfully cute so!

Star Wars Horoscope for Gemini

Like most Geminis, you are a playful little creature. You tend to be extremely curious, craving knowledge but sometimes having a short attention span. For the most part, you are charming and loveable. But at times, you can seem scattered and high-strung. Star wars character you are most like: Ewoks

What is Your Star Wars Horoscope?

Hee I'm an ewok! I'm a playful little creature - stroke me and pet me and call me George. Or not. In particular the George thing.

Diversity is good :> (Except I wrote 'food' the first time...) As long as there's always the OTP to come back to... :D

Well, of course - that's always implied, like by default or something *nodnod*

call me George,

My sis is a middle-school (6th, 7th grade) librarian. She has student helpers every period, and can't be bothered to learn their names every year. (Hey, I have the same sieve-like memory for names and faces, but at least I try!) So, she simply calls every student she has to address, male or female, "George".

Going back to names (per your last fic), George isn't in common use nowadays, especially for the under-20 crowd.

She claims this worked well for her, until she had a student helper whose name actually was George, and then confusion decended upon them. (I'm not sure why, if everyone is used to being called 'George' already; my sister's explanations are far, f-a-r more involved, and more obscure, than the Sandburg zone.)

Yes, my sister is very weird; why do you ask?

LOL That little story with your sis was quite sweet *g*

Also yeah, I don't think I ever saw a character under, say 30 or 20, being called George, either on tv or in a book - if we consider the Nowadays factor. Would sound weird *g*

Btw? Re:Yes, my sister is very weird; why do you ask?

Weelll, she's your sister, right? *flees*

LOL! A hit, a palpable hit! (Quote from Shakespear, but I don't know what play.) I walked right into that one didn't I?

*g* Yep, I'm weird, too. The difference is -- I know it. I honestly don't think my sister does. A mutual friend and I were once filling out an online "personality quiz" on her behalf. When we listed her as "Type A", she was highly incensed, spent 20 minutes arguing vehemently against the idea that she is "uptight", and simply solidified our belief the more she talked.

That's from Hamlet *g* And you certainly did, yes lol

I know what you mean, at least, we know we're weird - that makes a world of difference. We also assume our weirdness, which is quite refreshing too *g*

I was just a year older than you are when the first film was released, and, yes, it was pretty amazing. We'd really never seen anything like it, and of course had no idea that this was going to turn into one of those cultural milestones. I went to see the next two films as well, but it took such a very long time for the "prequel" films to be made that by the time they came out I'd lost interest. So in a way you guys are luckier than we were; you can see all the films one right after the other, and your tastes haven't changed. For my generation, it was like Coke was our beverage of choice when the first three films were released, but by the time the fourth film rolled around we were laying down wine cellars.

You have to hurry up and watch Lost! Part one of the season finale airs tomorrow!

We'd really never seen anything like it

That's the thing I found so interesting, like it really was something new, never seen before - that had to be so awesome. And it was also funny to think that while a lot of people were getting hooked on the trilogy, they had no idea that their own kids would fall for it as well and get obsessed in the same way as they did.

Part one of the season finale airs tomorrow!

Considering RL right now, I'm not even sure I'll be able to catch up before one or two weeks. Maybe I'll just do a Lost final-episodes marathon once everything goes back to normal *g*

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

What's going on with RL?

Will be putting something for you in the post tomorrow. ;-)

I just don't have a lot of free time *g*

WOOHOO! Thanks *g* Your own parcel will leave like in two weeks or so, unless I have some spare time in the meantime, but well... it'll leave eventually *g*
