It's okay. I am too.

I have started a Tumblr account. Well, I have had it for ages, but I didn't start using it till recently. The general theme is British Hotties That Are Now Old Men. Blake's 7 shit, Bowie, Steve Harley, whoever else comes along, but I will also just be posting whatever. (I recently uploaded a pic of Marc Warren and his Pillow Man character because

How did I not know you were a Blake's 7 fan?

Or maybe I did know, and have just forgotten, like so much else that was once in my brain.

Cause I haven't talked about it much, and hadn't felt like I had the right to blab on about it more till I saw more. I started watching last year but didn't have access to season 1 and after half way to season 3, but my friend Marc recently gave me up to the end of season 3 to watch. So I knew I really liked the show, but wanted to wait. A re-watch later and I was all "ZOMG. This is insane. I love it!" It's fantastic. I haven't finished it yet, I'm scared too!

I can actually vaguely remember watching the final episode with my family when it was first broadcast... Probably traumatized me for life. In fact I can remember a nightmare I had when I was 7 or so, which came from an episode in season 3 or 4, too. And I think Avon formed the archetype for 95% of the fictional men I've been attracted to ever since.

Oh god. I saw the trailer for season 4 and I was like "I don't think I'm going to handle this very well." I mean I was sad when Zen died...I mean I might be okay being able to prepare myself (I didn't get that chance with the show Primeval and was WRECKED) but it probably won't help very much.

Avon is probably one of the best characters in all live action sci-fi. He, and I'll be okay with being proven wrong, probably invented the anti-hero for television. Paul Darrow is absolutely gorgeous and constantly surprises me with his performance. He's one of a kind. I'll stop now!

PS: Speaking of dreams I dreamed I was on a phone call with Vila. It was pretty cute.

PPS: Time to buy a paid account again. I have no icons useful for this convo.

Yes, I'm seriously lacking in icons these days.

We used to play Blake's 7 in the playground all the time. I was usually Avon, heh. And looking back, I realize I totally shipped him with Vila.

I've had a few dreams in recent years where I've met Paul Darrow. Oh, that voice!

1. I am getting Flash and making animated stuff like crazy so if you want some new animated icons, holla.

2. If we played Blake's 7 when I was growing up I have no idea who I would have been. I was one of the two super young kids in the neighborhood group and was Snarf when we played Thundercats. It really doesn't translate.

3. Have you seen that long interview with him on Youtube? He's probably the loveliest man in England, for real.
