okay, so i had my usual 'being chased by someone with endless resources' dream again...this time set on some wooded lakeshore filled with widely-spaced cottages and blackberry brambles (aka somewhere between here and Canada, LOL)...and i'm leading the others who are also fleeing (other bits of my consciousness, i assume in these situations; it's never just me but "me and all my people", lol)...and i run into Angus and Tim and (i think?) Karin and a few other warm-fuzzy SMF-related people (maybe five or six people renting the place for a weekend or something, approximately half Canadians and half from this side of the border)...and despite the risk to themselves they selflessly and bravely let me/us into the cottage they're vacationing in... And they're all canning or cooking or something relaxing and homey and totally unsuited to mayhem and thus sort of epitomizing the peace i seek in such dreams but cannot stop long enough to enjoy; and all i/we can hope they'll hide us, y'know, for old time's sake, what with the choppers flying overhead and the cops or whatever whacking down the bush and getting closer and closer, etc...and i know i'm putting my peeps in danger hiding in their place, and breaking in on their vacation and all and i hate to do that...and i dunno if its my conscience kicking in or fear of being trapped or what, but damn if i don't end up having to leave and start running again. grr. well, maybe it was just the dream's purpose to keep me running? stupid mind. i hate my bizarre 'being randomly and endlessly chased' dreams. i thought i was over them. i have been chased through Aes Sedai gardens by Elaida; through a shopping mall's back rooms by Imperial Stormtroopers and Grand Moff Tarkin (as Han and Leia, no less); through a ghetto in California by cops/ gangbangers/ rapists/ all of the above... But i never expected to find SMF-related folks, especially CANADIANS, whom i tend to trust in matters of fleeing from misguided (usually all-too-american) authority, to show up in one of them!!! poor folks. always getting dragged into our stupid conflicts, LOL!!! *hugs them for being awesome* see, Angus; even mostly-gay girls dream about you! like a port in a storm, hee! *pets Angus and assorted other Canadians and the rest of the SMF-goers* Tags: dreams

putting aside all debate on whether it lacked the spirit of thought-provoking-ness of the Roddenberry era (i personally save most of my thought-provoking moments with media for in-home quiet consumption, not for any cinema outside the arthouse), or whether it accomplished what it meant to simply by breathing new life back into the series, garnering new fans who will hopefully then go check out the source material the way Romeo + Juliet did, etc etc... just answer me this. who all thinks the new Trek movie has (aside from reminding us why we go see movies in the theater anymore: it was just plain FUN!!!) has reignited (in a whole new, angsty way) the first ever and ultimate slashy triangle of Kirk/Spock/Bones?! methinks we'll be seeing a lot of new slashfiction from those boys, LOL. ( Read more... )TOS was my first fandom, starting when i was three, to the point where i wouldn't even watch TNG till this year. It will always be great to see the original id/superego/ego combo of the original crew together again...in any oddball alternate form. They at least got the cowboy-frontier flavor of the original that separates it from later series; the energy they lacked in a more settled and civilized galaxy. and FUN! did i mention fun?! (and hee, i spotted a blooper! *iz proud of herself for noticing a detail*) let the slashing begin!!! *goes to re-watch "Mind Meld"* Tags: dorkery, fandom, geekness, star trek

Part One: (Seattle Hockey Challenge '09.1!!!) Part Two: I forced myself to move on after thanking him again, and then hung around snapping pics for Rosenbaummedia and y'all. The security guys kept trying to move me along (not sure why since there were a lot less people there this year, what with the move to the new arena outside Seattle... Oh yeah, side note. The hockey challenge will be in the T-birds' new arena in Kent, WA from now on, rather than right inside Seattle's Key Arena. Which i find hilarious, since Michael played Lex who COULD have been a Kent if the damn family had treated him right, but that is only a sign of the hand of fate if you're a CLexhead or a real Smallville freak and he probably didn't even think about it). Anyway, they tried to move me a lot but I perservered and got as many pics as I could by the simple strategy of moving only two or three feet every time they shuttled me away. Michael looked up once and saw me snapping pics like a madwoman, and smiled and said (a bit incredulously perhaps), "How many pictures are you gonna take?" (*flail flail flail over the memory of his teasing expression*) I told him, "As many as I can; they're for Rosenbaummedia!" He said, "Well then, take some good ones!" (*FLAIL!!!* The man has so much charisma it should be illegal...or bottled and sold so we can take it home with us). ( Read more... )I spent the next twenty minutes torturing Lexi with a phone call full of juicy details about Michael's striptease and skating prowess, gushing like the fangirl i am around him, then i stopped in Seattle to see a childhood friend who's visiting the city, and managed not to drive into a ditch on the way home. Thus ends my account of this year's Seattle Hockey Challenge. See you next year...hopefully in person!!! My house is open to all y'all! I so need some other Rosenfans with me to share the squee! Lexi, you're coming this year if I have to abduct you. We will somehow figure out a way to get Michael to sling his arms around our shoulders for a menage a photo. I will unselfishly whore out the fact of my birthday if it will accomplish said mauling. I am cool that way. *** RE the pics: As I said, the bench shots during the game rawked, since the Seattle Hockey Challenge is being held in the T-birds' new arena. The old one, Key Arena in Seattle has glass that's all scarred up...but the new one has like, PRISTINE glass. I got some pretty decent pics i think, blur or no blur.

I'm sorry this took so long, folks, but my online access was all floopy today. Okay, so Seattle Hockey Challenge 09, part one. I was DETERMINED to actually tell Michael some of the things i MEANT to tell him last year, but (as you know if you read my account from last year) totally forgot because i was in such a state of utter squee that i forgot how to make sounds in any recognizable language. So I wrote a letter this year; from me, but also ostensibly from a lot of you that I know share my sentiments about Our Boy, since I felt i had a duty to be there for all of you who could not. I hope no one minds that i wrote in a way that said I was speaking for those not present; I tried my best in the letter to be respectful and yet still get across our deep admiration for Michael's work and generosity. I apologize to everyone whose name isn't on the post-script...I was trying to remember names at the last minute as I feverishly scribbled and re-wrote the letter while sitting on the floor waiting for Michael to arrive. I'll do better next year, and even pass on letters, messages, etc if you want. Likewise, if anyone's upset that I put their name on there and thus words into their mouths, I apologize for that as well. I was trying to be thorough and carry our spirit to Michael so he knew we love him. I figure a letter given hand to hand has a better chance of being read than one sent through a fan club. the letter: ( Dear )Okay...so the rundown is, I didn't want to be late this year and spend a million years in line, since I could call Lexi ( ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lexalicious70), my Michael-in-Seattle partner in crime from last year, and the wonderful woman we all love in here), but could no longer up the squee by calling Herohunter as well as she's all, like, in Brazil now and stuff, god love her. Which might have been good, as this time around I was trying to keep my squee-factor down to a modicum until i actually SPOKE to Rosey. The upshot being that i ended up getting there three hours before signing and being FIRST IN LINE. ( Read more... )He is so damned GENIUNE!
