It occurs to me that telling myself every day that it might be nice to update livejournal is in fact not all that productive. Such is the way of me.
This month, I'm going to blame it on Star Trek, which has eaten my brain. Oh my god, I love that movie. I've seen it three times, once with my mother and twice by myself. I keep telling myself three times is enough, but the last time I went, they gave me a free movie ticket. I kind of feel like using it to see something other than Star Trek would be an affront to all things good in the universe.
And just to make me love the movie even more, in dragging my mom to see it, I found out that she actually watched the original series on television. I came close to crying. I knew I had to get my love of sci-fi tv shows and movies somewhere, but prior to then, it had remained a mystery. It totally made up for the fact that she still doesn't understand the storyline of the movie and I have explained it to her five times.
I decided to stop while I was ahead and not tell her that I ship Kirk/Spock.
Although, as a girl who watched Star Wars every day for an entire summer (usually more than once a day) when I was twelve, should I should feel like I'm betraying something? Because I really, really don't.
And anyone looking for good Star Trek fics can check out my
delicious bookmarks. I have gone from 2 Star Trek fics (both bookmarked at the time because they were crossovers with other series I'm a fan of) to 124 bookmarks in two and a half weeks. It has literally gone from being tied for next-to-last in my list of tags to being number 3, within spitting distance of number 2. It's a new record for me!
