ECSTATIC... YET INWARDLY SEETHING WITH RAGE!

Okay... first blog entry and as it pertains to me and is Firefly related, I thought it might be worth mentioning...

Sometimes, looking back on a situation, you wish you could have done things a little bit differently. When I set out on my quest to tell the whole world about the greatness of Firefly I never reckoned it would bring any greater consequences than to hopefully (cross fingers and wish) raise awareness towards bringing back the show. However, the joy it has brung me in creating a new flock of Firefly devotees has all been relative. Not only did my bestest of best friends reject the show simply because it was a sci-fi (okay, I did attempt to show her the pilot episode first thing in the morning when she wasn't in the best of moods) but it caused me the greatest heartaching jealousy I have ever experienced. Having swiftly converted my ex-boyfriend (now simply close friend and fellow sci-fi buff) into a die-hard Firefly fan, I was totally gutted when, about a week ago, he told me he had been to the London Film and Comic Con. Not only had both Ron Glass and Alan Tudyk been there, but Nathan Fillion (Oh Mal... you are my hero!) had also put in an appearance. Of course, as soon as he told me (luckily over e-mail) I promptly threw a hissy fit and then started to cry. He even got a professional photo taken with the guy. Oh so close and yet so far. I'm still devastated.

Anyways... now its been a week and I have suitably calmed down enough to meet up with my ex without killing him. I'll definately be drowning my sorrows when we next go out for beers, but I suppose thats life.
