I'M ASHAMED

So I'm on the phone with my fiance this afternoon. (Three weeks. Can you believe it?) And she's stumbling around the web (via Stumble.com).

So she finds this weird picture, and sends it to me so that we can discuss it. So I'm looking at it, and it's got several good guys on the left, and several bad guys on the right, with the Death Star in the upper right corner. She doesn't quite get the picture, so I explain that it's a good vs. evil kind of thing. I mention that the Death Star should have given it away, and she says, "What?"

Now I'm thinking that she must just not see it clearly. So I tell her where to look, and she say, "That moon looking thing?"

I decide to give her the benefit of a doubt, since it's not easy to tell, until she asks, "So what's the Death Star off of?"

Ok. Maybe she's only seen Star Wars once or twice when she was young. No big deal. Until she tells me that SHE'S NEVER SEEN THE WHOLE THING!!

No I'm wondering how this never came up, and why am I marrying you again? She's comes back with, "Well, my family's not big on Sci-Fi, and I do love Firefly, I really do." And trust me, she does, cause it never would have gone this far if she didn't.

But I am truly ashamed to call myself a geek right now because my fiance, the woman i am about to marry, has never seen all of Star Wars (the original. I don't blame her for not watching the new ones).

Needless to say, I intend to correct this issue within the first week of our marriage.
