Proof that too much Star Wars turns you into a different person...

[trinityvixen]

1. I missed book group last night. It had been pushed back from Monday night on which, of course, I started playing Jedi Knight and could only think about getting as far along in it to get the lightsabre last night. So, I missed book group. My bad.

2. The first thing I said to Carrie when she got back from the ER: I have a lightsabre now!

3. I spent much of yesterday pondering how much trouble you could get into having sex with Jedi. Or two Jedis. I then thought of Mark Hamill having sex and dry heaved for a while.

4. I've written more posts in the past week about Star Wars than I've written about any other obsession, including my love afair with Ryan Reynold's abs.

5. I've been tempted by the dark side (read: I've googled Star Wars fanfiction, but I can't bring myself to click on any links--I said tempted not seduced; seduced will be clicking on the links, turning to the dark side will be reading).

6. I saw a commercial for the Sith movie-video game and was almost hopeful it wouldn't suck.

7. No, seriously, just think about it. Jedi's have telekinesis. Do you have any idea what that could do for erectile disfunction sufferers the world over?

8. If I were a Jedi, I'd want a green lightsabre. This might seem obvious to anyone who remotely knows me, but I thought about it good and hard for about an hour--an hour! This is a huge decision!

9. My favorite character was always Han Solo. Now, thanks to Ewan McGregor's portrayl in Sith in particular, I really have a love for Obi-Wan. Why did you have to hate Star Wars, Sir Alec? I would have loved you!

10. I'm going to be flamed all to hell if I talk about kinky Force play again, so I'll just say that the bryar pistol rocks for long distance accuracy, I fucking hate Tuskens with bow-casters, and there's a reason that stormtroopers never hit anything: they can fire off bursts of thirty rounds at a stationary enemy and not a one will land (damn lousy rifle...but we love it anyway).

Budding!? Budding.....!??!?!?!!?

My brother needs to come and comment on this. I am no mere BUDDING obsessive. This is an outrage! I won't stand for it! I AM A COMPLETE OBSESSIVE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

My history with Star Wars goes back to my childhood where my dad watched the entire trilogy every other weekend (in our house, Star Wars was cut with Indiana Jones as my dad has a huge hetero hard-on for harrison ford). When I was little, I honestly didn't understand that they were SEPARATE movies. They were one big happy movie, with two death stars, a wookie, some droids, silly hair, and yub-yubs for an ending.

For a present one year, I thought I'd transcribe the scripts for my dad. I gave up because I got bored waiting for the dialogue to catch up to me...

I AM A STAR WARS FREAK IS THE WAY THIS POST SHOULD END. But if you need more proof, ask my brother. We played Star Wars trivial pursuit and it got UGLY. Ugly as in no one else would ever play again because we only lost turns every twenty-thirty questions asked, and he lost a game-winning question for saying "Moff Tarkin" not "GRAND Moff Tarkin." He also spent the game talking in Huttese and me quoting Han Soloisms (oh, the wisdom of Harrison!)

I've also read six-seven novels already, owned one of those discovery series books about Star Wars aliens, read a few comics, played Star Wars Trivial Pursuit AND Monopoly (and own both), voted for Darth every year in CUSFS, own Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Mysteries of the Sith, and know where to find a complete stormtrooper uniform if I need one. Bonus points for having hair long enough to make Leia buns, says me, too.

I have always wanted to match a fellow SW freak at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. No one in my family will play TP with me, period, let alone SW TP.

*plunk* Consider the gauntlet thrown.

[teneda.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm not as big a SW fan as you guys, but I'd like to play as well, if only to get my ass kicked so's I can see whether or not you actually have enough hair for the Danishes on either side of your head.

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

I used to have enough hair for that - I have pictures with me in the Leia 'do.

That's it. In the immortal words of Jake from Booty Call, "Once again my friends, it's ooooooonnnnnn."

I'll get the game from upstate somehow. I should also steal my family's copy of Scene It, but that one, trust me, no one in their right mind will play with me. Darryl can beat me, probably, though circumstance hasn't allowed that to happen yet (I won all our competitive matches and we were a team last time I played).

But Star Wars Scene It? Dear Lord. It'd be Trivial Pursuit all over again. And, in the words of Mr. Burns, "Excellent." Okay, well, that was one word. I'll make a general challenge to all when the set is again in my filthy clutches.

Mwahahaha!

*tents fingers evilly*

I'm upstate now, and heading to scarsdale tommorow

[arcfox7.livejournal.com]

If you want me to bring the star wars trivial pursuit down email/call me sometime tommorow in the am so I can know to bring it. And I don't need to add to the abundant evidence in front of us all of your and my starwars geekdom but aimee had some list of things if you were too much of a starwars geek and I fit everyone of them. stuff like picking up an onion ring and going "Look sir, droids!" or when pulled over by the cops waving your hand and saying "You don't need to see my identification". Although my favorite was that if you were a true geek according to this, you'd never costume up as Darth, Leia, Luke, Han, Chewy, Obi-Wan etc. you would go as Wedge, or Hutch, or Dak, or boba fett (which although I think he's the best character he's known well enough to count on the earlier list). The even more obscure choices were Max Rebo, (i think moff tarkin was on the list) sy snoodles, any of the bounty hunters from Darth's star destroyer, jabba's palace or the mos eisley cantina.. although I think the hammerhead dude would be a tough costume to make...

I was Leia for Halloween one year when I had the long-ass hair, as well. In fact, I just got rid of my white dress the other day (it's not quite as striking when it hits mid-calf. Damn growth spurt). Did you ever indulge in the side-buns?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I tried several times, but my hair wasn't long enough. It might have been in college, but by then I'd 'outgrown' such things (read: stopped wanting to be identifiable as a geek at a distance of one hundred yards). Mostly, it's just I can't make them that size. I can make them sure.

I did put my hair up like Sailor Moon once. Sure, I'm a brunette and my hair doesn't reach my toes even when it was down (or before it was cut), but it was fun!

[fairest.livejournal.com]

It was not only fun, but adorable. I have photos somewhere. I think it was the cute pink pajama top that made the look, though.

My own little Sailormoon knots were too short...I think I defaulted to Chibi-Chibi. :-P

You win this round, Siskel... now that I think about it, I do remember all of us playing that Star Wars board game on new year's eve a few years back. I think it never sunk in because all the other SW otaku I know are so far gone from any connection to real life and you haven't hit that point.

[infosatyr.livejournal.com]

again like i told the person who you are replying to
you family is scarey when it comes to starwars
