...oh, man. So, I was looking for my old video diary** (making a new one is totally on the To Do List of Eternal Damnation -- because I've finally taped over 90% of what I did have in the original one, although it's still useful) and since I have approximately eight billion school diaries, uni diaries, random diaries and notebooks scattered around my room I kept finding other things first. I, um. Maybe found a really old piece of X Files fanfic I wrote when I was 12. I got as far as "vivid green eyes" (in the first sentence! oh, self.) and mentally ran screaming. Having rehidden the notebook I am now kind of facing the world. Or, you know, reading and then going to bed.
Excerpt from video diary 'frontispiece': "22/06/1996 - 43 X Files, 15 JAG, 28 Friends." Apparently in a fit of enthusiasm on writing it all into the diary (with counter times for episode starts and everything! *hardcore*), I tallied up. Not how many episodes I had. How many tapes. (And that's usually tapes on LP, with everything carefully dubbed in so that I could fit four or five X Files and like 11 Friends episodes.) \o? I am the type of person they invented DVD box sets for, I tell ya. Mostly, though, I'm kicking myself for letting all the X Files ones degrade or taping over most of them, partly because now I want to rewatch, but sortofmostly because I KNOW there were due South ads on those tapes. Heh.
**Okay, yes, I am DeLuise-hunting. I am not ashamed to admit it! :D EDIT: FOUND! Peter DeLuise in The One with the Bullies, 1.37.00 on tape #20. *waves freak flag HIGH*
