Nearly had a heart attack when I checked the mail and there was a bill from the Austin Radiology Assn. I was afraid of another $2000 medical bill, but luckily it was only for $15. I can do $15.

I'm thinking about going to see The Watchmen today. Everyone seems to be buzzing about it. I tried to get my ex-roommate to come, but she's not responding to my email. Oh well. And I will have to fight the SXSW crowds (eep), but I feel like getting out today. I suppose I could go see The Reader or Defiance, and avoid the Drafthouse altogether, but the Drafthouse is much cooler.

I hope this doesn't put anyone off, but .
Never thought I'd ever say this, but I don't feel geeky enough to be in the BSG fandom. Yes, this despite the fact that I know more than one DM.
Or rather that I am the wrong kind of geek. I'm very much a culture geek. Traditional latino festival? I am so there. Discussion on Islam in modern life? Count me in (actually, there was one last week, but I was sick and missed it :(.) I am not a sci-fi geek by any means. Sci-fi was always my dad's thing and I shied away from it and went for the historical novels instead.

So yea, I feel a bit out of place in BSG. Also, everyone is super intelligent and I have yet to read a bad story out of the comm I'm in. I will readily admit that I am not the best writer out there, nor am I much good at meta. Though...that is pretty much my place in popslash too, isn't it? It's still intimidating though. Especially as I'm a newcomer to a well established fandom.

And here I am listening to Britney Spears.

You know, it's not like we're all such high class folks :)

I mean, sure, I have classical cds. But I am also a huge fan of Charlton Heston's scifi film phase. I have all three seasons of Gilligan's Island on Dvd, and Rescue from Gilligans Island and I eagerly scan for the other movies to be released. I... have written Mighty Morphin'Power Ranger fanfic.

And I can sometimes be drawn into cultural discussions :)

Yer not out of place! Look! TrannieMessAJ!

I'm rap there. But Mele and Dagmar write good stuff as well.

I also wrote an ER crossover with STephen King's "The STand" that is as long as Going Native.

I own the movie and have been secretly hoping for the original seasons to go on dvd. Not ashamed to admit I like it, though I haven't ventured into fiction.

Don't worry. I know of quite a lot of people who don't care about the scifi aspect of the show. Me, I don't know much about science either. I'm just faking. ;) And I wouldn't mind a discussion about culture. You'll fit right in. :)

Britney Spears though? Britney Spears won't do. :D (SCNR)

Well Stephanie, if it makes you feel any better, I've been roleplaying online in a Star Trek bulletin board based community since September 2000. That's right. As long as you've known me, I've been doing that. I actually was promoted to the rank of Commodore this week. You just need to practice it, and take into consideration the comments that people have on it. Sure, there will be one or two assholes who totally tear it apart, but there will also be some who give helpful pointers to help you grow as you write.

Nice to know we all have our own secret little hobbies. :) Just uh...don't go spreading it around.

If I spread it around, then it wouldn't be secret lol.
