Oct. 16th, 2005 01:13 amI love my daddy very very much. It's so wonderful to see him again. Of course I love the rest of my family too but really the only person I cried about leaving was my dad. I've always been daddy's little girl... we're very similar in a lot of ways, so he gets me. When I succeed, it often makes me happy because daddy will be proud.
It's a little difficult because while I was at college he tore a tendon in his knee (I posted about the traumatic experience of finding out a while back) and so he hasn't been at work this whole time. He was completely immobile for a couple weeks, and now he can only hobble around on crutches, pretty slowly. Can't put any weight on it. It's depressing to see him so... inhibited. I couldn't even hug him properly (and I'm crying as I type that because I love to hug my dad. It makes me feel safe.)
OK I guarantee that when I started this post it was not meant to go anywhere emotional. I'm sorry.
What I was going to talk about was that I showed my dad the pilot of Firefly last night (I've seen that episode 5 times in 3 weeks, and it NEVER gets old. I still bite my nails out of nervousness. The main difference is that parts that are supposed to be all intense just make me happy and squirmy, because... ( Spoilers for Firefly pilot ) And also I LOVE SIMON.) Anywho, he liked it well enough. What he explained to me is that... for example, he can see why I love Buffy, but it doesnt appeal to him because it's too "hip," or young I guess. And to him Firefly has a tinge of that too, which I can see. Joss has a very youthful sensibility, that I love, but I do get why it wouldn't quite jibe with my dad. But he did say that he would be willing to watch more, and he'll probably watch Serenity when I get it on DVD :)
Speaking of Serenity... I'M SEEING IT TOMORROW!!!! OMFG YAY. I was cheated out of it on Wednesday and I had spent the whole day GIDDY. Seriously, I kept smiling to myself at work and I bet people were wondering "What kind of books is she cataloging? How can that be FUN?" So I have all this built up anticipation and I'm SO EXCITED OMG. Wheeeeeeee!
Firefly has taken over my brain. Seriously.
Oh yeah... I went to a Knicks/Nets preseason basketball game tonight. It was pretty cool. Got to see some people I hadn't seen in a long time who I used to go to church with. Including the two girls who are most likely going to be my step-sisters, since their dad has been dating my mom for... over four years now. I had seen them relatively recently, like.... I don't know, less than a year. But yeah. It was good. I had fun with my lil sis, who can be adorable at times. You know, the times when she's not being obnoxious.
And the Knicks won. Yay them.
