exsequar: (FF RS Are they gone?)
[personal profile] exsequar
I 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... ok, what I mean is that when River comes out of the box, I know she's all traumatized, but I can't help but smile because Simon loves her SO DAMN MUCH. And her face when she realizes it's him... AWWW. See icon! 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.

Oooh yay! Did you like it? haha, that's really funny you would say that, because a lot of people have observed that. The captain's name is Mal Reynolds, by the way :) But definitely... especially from that last scene.

yeah i really did! i think if they had a relationship it would be way hot. and there'd be something really wrong about it too...which is maybe part of the appeal, haha.
