101 Ways to make your housemates think you're crazy

Saturday, October 15, 2005 10:47 PM

I just don't get it. It makes me very angry and a little confused. Let me see if I can explain. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this looks set to be a rant.

I decided that I couldn't bear only going to see Serenity only once at the cinema so I headed off today to Bluewater to watch it for a second time. All very exciting. I'm humming to myself and generally feeling very happy. I head on downstairs to say 'see ya later' to my two housemates. "Why are you dressed like that to go to the cinema?" one says. "Are you going by yourself?" says the other. "You're driving for an hour to see a film you've already seen before?" They both say. "You're crazy!"

Point number one, no, I'm not actually crazy, slightly hyperactive occasionally yes, but definatly not crazy. Point number two, where is the problem in driving a ways to see something you enjoy? It's not like I'm some unhappy loner who has no friends, it just so happens that everyone was either busy or completely uninterested.

It is frustrating to know that not all of my friends are supportive of the love I have for this show. Most of the time thats Ok but today it got to me. I found myself sitting in the cinema quietly hoping that no annoying teenagers would talk through the bits they found boring, but alas, talk they did. Grrr!

Anyway I'm over the ranting, life goes on. Serenity, so much better the second time round and like home the third time. So much to see and notice and pay attention to, all the little things. I'm sure I caught a glimpse of Blue Sun in there as well as Whitefall and a catalyzer.

Finally, i thought I would leave you with my 'Top 5 Things I've Learned from Serenity'. With apologies to whoever invented the one for Firefly. Where has that thread got to these days anyway? Here they are,

1) Don't fly in anything that has a Capissen 38 engine. Apparently they fall right out of the sky.
2) If Inara and Mal have a conversation that doesn't include a fight, it's a trap.
3) One should be a tad cautious of being a leaf on the wind.
4) If your quarry goes to ground, leave no ground to go to.
5) Being killed with a sword is weird.

Be safe
