My life is surreal, or: Dayna Chiplin, You Rock

[aimsleydale]

So my first discovery of Dayna Chiplin, stuntwoman of awesome, was in this video of a stunt-scene from Legend of the Seeker ep2:17.

I then proceeded to make gifs and squee all over the place:



I believe I said: Does anyone know who this stuntperson is? I sort of love her.

Then Dayna got famous on twitter and all involved in Save Our Seeker and became a celebrity in her own right and it was cool that I'd noticed her earlier and stuff. I followed her online as she started her stunt school and thought how awesome that was.

And then I left fandom. For an extended haitus. I don't know if it was a good or bad descision, but it happened.

And then I moved to New Zealand with my family.

Then, one day watching TV, my brother says, 'I wish I could study to be a stuntman.' I suddenly remembered: 'I know a stunt school! Right here in New Zealand!'

YOU GUYS. My brother is now friends with Dayna Chiplin.

My fandom obsession helped my brother find his new career.

My brother is now friends with a celebrity I follow on twitter.

MY LIFE.

(And now I've started watching Xena: Warrior Princess, the whole thing's come full, surreal circle)
