The title suggests a vague horror movie situation.
The reality it much worse, it has finally happened.
I have entered to realms of geek-dom. I am turning into a nerd. I have started studying already! Uni doesn't start for another three weeks and I have begun to hit the books.
They should never have forced me to buy those tutorial papers and recommended readings. It was all "their" fault - really! Yeah - that's it. It's not me, it's "them". With their books and their words and their "learning".
I think I have managed to freak out the new flat mate that has just moved in.....
I guess that was bound to happen eventually anyway so better to be up front about weirdness I guess.
Between wierdness, Buffy and study it feels just like old times - *sigh*

Buffy Connections
Reliving the Buffy legend - *sigh*
After finishing season seven last year with little miss, therre has now been a long enough gap to start the journey again.
The journey began at the the dvd store as I perused the collection for hire. So much Buffy! And so much Angel too! I am pretty hardcore but I thought that the new release 3 day hire was a little too hardcore - even for me. Buffy is good but working and watching in three days not so good. Luckly the early seasons were for hire for the week. I was set.
As i selected the first couple of discs from season two I got this odd feeling that someone was behind me and was trying to see the dvd's as well.
I turned and there was a high school girl standing behind me. The was a moment of solidarity between us as we recognised a like-minded fan.
I asked her where she was up to and then had a short discussion about which season was best.
It reminded me of me in high school - extremely egocentric I know!
It specifically reminded me of the time little star and I were looking for autumn leaves on the road outside my house one cold afternoon after school. Rugged in our coats and winter uniforms and giggling about how strange it would look to on coming traffic we were enjoying the moment of exploring the world around and finding beauty in it.
This guy (about 24) came walking past. We looked up sheepishly, feeling a little
self-concious (as yr 8 girls do)and instead of turning a blind eye or laughing at us that moment of understanding happened. "Ah" he said "The search for the perfect leaf!" We smiled as he walked on amazed that someone had completely understood what we were doing!
Of course it seems a little dramatic for something so common but I love those moments!
The thought that for one little while you and another person totally understand each other, it's so different from the world of mis-understanding I seem to live in.
well, life has been one Buffy and Angel tornado this week!
But the journey has started!
