Look how much John loves me!

This is truly cute. Someone started a post on one of the costuming forumes we're on (the dented helmet) called "meeting women". He said how difficult it was to meet a female sci-fi geek and all that. So of course people started posting about how they met their geeky girlfriends/wives and John made a post about me! It's too cute. Here it is (and by the way, when he says he was egged on to jump in, he doesn't mean by me. He means because someone just made a comment before that about Star Trek geeks, which I am and now he is. . . .nevermind, just read):

Re: Meeting Women

Okay, now I've been egg'd on to jump in here. Let me explain my situation. I was a 501st member that attended events and enjoy life, but I was single. You see, my ex-girlfriend left me because she said that I loved Star Wars more than her. It wasn't completely true, but she took off anyways.

So, a few months later I attended a local 501st event with my garrison in Worcester, MA. There was a girl in our garrison that I thought was cool and attractive. She was a huge Star Wars fan and Star Trek- Next Generation fan. Well, I ended up hang around with her, got to know her and became friends. I teased her relentlessly about liking Star Trek, since everyone knows that it sucks. Okay, here's where my garrison friends will start to cringe. After hanging out a few times with her, she got me to agree to watch some Next Generation episodes with her. Well, though I thought I'd hate it, I ended up loving it. It was nothing like the original series that still sucks today.

Back to her and I. Within a month or so of hanging out with her, we started dating. I went and bought a condo with her and we have been together for a year as of yesterday. We are both members of the same garrison and attend 501st events together regularly. We both collect SW stuff and have almost 10 costumes between the two of us. We had nothing but Star Wars in common and here we are making it work. When I say we have nothing in common, I mean the serious stuff! I am a Roman Catholic and she is a Jehovah's Witness. Politically, I am an Independent, yet I am very conservative and think much like a Republican. She doesn't get involved in elections or anything like that, due to her religion, but her political views are very much like a Liberal Democrat. If we can do this, anyone can! LOL!!!

So, don't loose hope, cause eventually it will happen for you.

ROTS Review - it's not all puppy dogs and ice cream

Well, Revenge of the Sith opened last night. I’m told it made 16.5 million with just its midnight show. I’m not surprised. This was the long-anticipated end to a huge saga. And I have to say that after having last night and some of today to reflect on it, I was a bit disappointed. The die-hard fans are furious right now, I’m sure. “What? But. . .it’s Star Wars. . .How can you not like it??” I will tell you how. First of all, I’m not saying I hated it . I enjoyed it enough and I definitely plan to see it again. There was so much to see on screen that you certainly need to view it more than once to take it all in properly. I did not hate every second of it. I left with a mostly satisfied feeling. But let’s cover what did bother me and then we’ll end on a high note with the things I really enjoyed. WARNING: HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD. 1. Anakin and Padme – the dialogue between them was definitely lacking. I cringed during the whole “I love you because you love me” part. But that ca...

Update from the road

I don't use blogger anymore. I love the interface here and I like it better than livejournal but there is just no sense of community for me here anymore. I still read a few people's blogs but that's it really and I never hear from anyone on here so... I switched to LJ. If you want to know any of the happenings of my life, you can catch up there . I'm driving cross country currently with my husband, Seth. We started at my home in Mass and are in cali now. We're going to be in Washington State by Sunday. That's where Seth's job is. For any of those of you who have my cell phone number, it's shut off right now. That's what happens when you get fired for no reason from your job, denied unemployment, and you can't pay your bills. But it'll be back on again soon. Even though i'm going to miss my family and the few good friends I had there, I am so glad to be out of that god-forsaken state. I can't wait to start fresh in Seattle. Eventually ...

Great Questions from my Favorite Movie Reviewer

In a note on my previous post kennelworthy said: " Okay, I'm sure I could find the answer to this by going through your site's archives, but I'm at work and therefore don't have that kind of time. Feel free to chide me for being lazy. But...without getting personal, I have a few questions. For starters, ( 1 )what kinds of things cause the JW's to excommunicate someone? ( 2 )If they would accept you back into their fold, would you want to go back...or was your df'ing something related to "core beliefs." For instance, the Episcopal denomination is currently fueding with itself over homosexuality in the pulpit. It's caused a split in the church proper over "core beliefs." So, is there some aspect of the JW's you disagreed with that led to your df'ing...or do you still hold the same belief system as them but they just won't let you back in officially? If the answer to the above is "yes", then ( 3 )why would you wan...
