The Christmas Chronicles: day 6
1:46 am
December 27th

I’m finally home and I think that our little trip has finally discouraged my parents from ever going away for Christmas…again! That makes me really happy. We had to stop on the way home and leave a bunch of stuff at the dump where the hunting lodge burns the garbage…I’m a terrible person I know. But my grandma bought us a ton of huge crap and their was no way I was going to deal with it in the back seat.

I also got to do some more driving, it was kind of scary when I got to do my first parking job, I almost ran into my grandparents new BMW…yeah, that would have been bad.

We got home yesterday but I was too tired to do anything but sleep and watch movies.

So here I am, wide awake and nothing to do.

I watched done the impossible and it has me thinking about a ton of stuff. Like, I really want to go to dragon con or comic con! Oh my god, it would be my dream to go to the con in England devoted to firefly! How amazing would that be? Oh my god.

I’m already planning out my costume if I go to dragon con. I’m growing out my hair so one day I can go as Kaylee a la the pilot of serenity with my hair all up and wearing coveralls and a cute little Chinese jacket. And then the second day I figure I’ll go as river in bushwacked when she’s wearing the long red sweater, pink tiered skirt underneath, and black combat boots.

I have a lot of stuff to get done if I want to go. For one thing I have to convince my parents to even let me. Neither of them would want to take me. And by the time I get to college I won’t have the time or the money to pay for it. So I’ll just have to figure out something for next year.

Just the idea of meeting more browncoats in person would be amazing. I mean, the only person around me who’s remotely interested in firefly is in band with me. And I only see him like ever other week. It’s not the same. From what I’ve seen, browncoats are a family and I think at a con it would really come out.

It’s like a right of passage. You have to hang out with browncoats at some point, and I just want to go through it. I feel like I would really click at a con. I went to one for anime in this completely outrageous costume that my friend set me up with. And it was so much fun!

Plus. If I could meet joss…I think my heart would explode. He’s only been my writing idol since I was 10. My one dream is to get to work with him on just one project, I don’t care if it’s acting, writing, catering, or bringing him coffee. I would do it if it meant that I got to work with him, I would love to work with him on a TV show though, because of how much he re-uses actors in other shows. He put Zoe and Jayne on angel, and he put Mal on Buffy. I would totally geek out if they guest-starred on an episode or something.

I was telling my friend about it, and she said that she could just see me now. Sitting in my office working or something, and I look up and alan tudyk walks past the door looking for something. But he can’t find it so he doubles back and asks me where joss’ office is. And I stutter something out that doesn’t even resemble English. And then I silently hold out my firefly box set and a sharpie. And then I pass out. And I wake up in the emergency room and he’s sitting next to my bed and so is joss. And they just wanted to make sure I wasn’t brain dead.

Oh, now I’m all twitchy at the though…

I need to stop dreaming about that stuff. I’m not that great of a writer. Plus, what are the chances that I would even have an office in the same building as joss. I would most likely be out in my car writing bit scenes or something.

I am such a geek about this stuff though. I need a job that lets me be a geek. How great would that be? When Buffy was running new episodes I dreamed of being the continuity consultant-the person who checks all the facts in the episode, to make sure it runs along with the backstory. Because when they messed up the tinniest thing I would rattle off the episode name, season, scene, and line that refrenced it. It got to be so much of a problem that my friends make a 5 comment rule when I watch the show, I’m only allowed to make 5 comments during the entire episode, or they are allowed to slap me.

However, the dream of fact checking for Buffy went out the window when it was canceled * COUGH * sarah left to make Scooby doo 2 and the grudge, great career choice * COUGH*. And then angel went the next year because the people at the WB are as stupid as the people at fox.

Still, a job that would allow me to geek out for money would be amazing. I don’t know if that’s even possible. If anyone has any ideas though, let me know. I would really appreciate it.

Do they have a major in “Sci-Fi obsession” because if they did I would be the head of my class.

Whatever. I just don’t want to go back to school at all. Because school means that I have to work all day and I have to deal with stupid people all day until 3, then I get to come home and get treated like a stupid person just because I know too much about stuff that doesn’t matter, and I don’t know enough about the Russian revoloution.

I don’t know how I do it. I just remember everything I see on TV. When I started watching Buffy I jumped in mid-season 6. I caught up on all 6 seasons like it was nothing in one weekend. Yeah…I know. I knew everything that was going on. And I remembered everything. It’s not that difficult for me. I don’t know why. So when I watch an episode with people and they ask anything about it I can reference a ton of information about the actors, bloopers, scenes, plot archs, interviews, and stories.

It’s a sickness. Do you know that I was watching bones the other day (the angel show where he’s a detective for the FBI or whatever) and they had a lawyer on the show…and guess why the lawyer turned out to be?

Forest from the 4th season, * spoiler * riley’s bff who get’s turned into a weird robot/demon person, yeah him. Well, he turned out to be the lawyer in the episode. Do you know what I did when I saw him for the first time?

I feel off the couch and started rattling off who he was on Buffy. Then, this is the worst part, I started quoting all of his lines from episodes he was is. I sounded like rainman sitting on the floor of my couch with my parents staring at in with a blank look of “our daughter has something wrong with her” on their faces. They made me leave the room until I had calmed down a bit.

Forest wasn’t even an important character. I didn’t even like him that much. And yet, I seem to know way more about him then any other person on this planet…maybe.

My parents have talked about it before. They think I have problem or something. Maybe it was because they once found me under the dining room table watching the angel finale on my laptop balling my eyes out…and it was only the opening credits.

It was really bad when I watched smallville because I had a serious hate for a miss lana lang…yeah, and a serious obsession with a bald villan….
