[Changing Nature]

Oct 13, 2005 23:27

One of the saddest things is to go through my fanfic recs and cull out the dead links. It's something I need to do, but something I don't want to do. I have a secret list of dead link fic that every so often I Google for. This is why I buy my books so I don't lose the stories. As a child, there was a time where everything I read was checked out from the library and a lot of it I wish I had because I can only remember vague bits of plot. This is what I angst over late at night; I can be acutely paranoid that someone's going to take away my favorite stories ever since I snagged back my BSC book from Nicole's bedroom in 3rd grade. Online is where we publish our fic and it seems wrong to print the stuff out somehow because I can't share my finds as easily. If you've ever wondered why I don't loan my books, movies, etc., now you really know.

I cried over the Star Trek: TNG episode "The Bonding" today when Captain Picard tells a little boy whose mom just died: "No one is alone on the starship Enterprise, Jeremy. No one." The tears just started flowing. Captain Picard was my imaginary father most of my childhood.

Now that I'm done with the melodrama, have fun with the rest of your flist...

star trek: tng, books, personal history
