Padme Amidala is Luke Skywalker's Mother?!? Holy Crap!

Okay, I haven't seen that sith thing everyone is talking/posting/dreaming/masturbating about. This is one of those insane fandom times when I like to sit back people-watching and pretending I'm not a nerd.

In fact, I am a huge nerd, but space is not my mileiu. Sci-fi is also not my genre, and I'm not especailly fond of action movies though there are a handful of well-done action films I enjoy.

So...while pretending not to be nerdy I was foiled in the following ways:

I see a post which reads Harry Pottter and the half Blood Prince comes out in 58 days. My response: Duh, I already ordered mine. What kind of person doesn't have this on order yet? It better be here the day it comes out. Oh no...what if it gets stolen? I'll die I tells ya, I'll just die.

But you know, Harry Potter fandom is pretty widespread as well. So that's not so bad. But then...

Land of the Dead is out June 24th. Who's going opening night?

And after a week of making fun of people who had big plans for May 19th at midnight I couldn't help thinking "Damn, I have to go opening night otherwise I'll look stupid dressed as a zombie."

You know, I've masturbated to a lot of things, but never Star Wars. Not even once.

You should be camping out waiting for the next potter book!

*I* don't have it on pre-order. I need to go do that at B&N. I can use the rest of my gc for that. I'd rather just go pick it up either that night or the next morning. I hate waiting for the mail :)

I went to Waldenbooks myself. But [livejournal.com profile] wednes tells me that Amazon is offering free shipping and guarantee there on the release date.

I camped out for the last Potter book, in my pointy witch's hat!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2005-05-20 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)

No, I know its odd.. But even Leia in the steel Bikini never did much for me. I'm not sure why exactly.

Really? Sheesh, even I thought that was hot. And Harrison Ford was right next to her.

Mmmmm...Harrison Ford...

I think I can get 40% off (I have the discount card). Man. That is nuts.

I'll do some price shopping, thanks for the tip :)

Last I heard, it was supposed to be about 100 pages shorter than Order of the Phoenix. We shall see.

But yeah, you don't want to be paying retail for that fucker!

[identity profile] sudrin.livejournal.com 2005-05-21 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I agree, Harrison is pretty hunky, but he didn't quite... er... rate with me either.
