It’s hard not to focus on what I feel like I SHOULD have, instead of what I actually do.

I have less time because I have to rest more, because I get sick and tired on a daily basis. It cuts into my time to work on things, to write, to blog! I was working on getting much better about this time management business before my father passed away, and then it all just sort of fell apart. I’m working on it again, though!

In case you didn’t know, I’m a pretty big geek, and I LOVE me some Joss Whedon. On that note, I love Dollhouse! I can’t wait for the show to start up again on September 25th. Anyhow, I recently watched the unaired pilot and the 13th episode, Epitaph One, which will both be on the Dollhouse DVD. Epitaph One is absolutely amazing! I can’t tell you that enough. AMAZING. What a great show! I can’t wait for season two. I can understand why Fox didn’t air it, but ultimately I think they should have.

The unaired pilot. Wow. So far all I really have to say about it is that I really wonder how season one would have gone with that pilot, because it seems the show would have been completely different. I won’t say more for fear of spoiling you. If you haven’t been watching Dollhouse, you should catch up before season 2 starts!

At the time, there was a warning at the beginning of Buffy episodes that you should be 14 years old to watch, so I would sneak upstairs into the guest room with the tiny anitque tv, lock the door, and swoon over the pretty pale boy. I’ll still randomly quote the show, and you probably won’t notice unless you’re a crazy fan, too.

I love the thrill of finding a new story that grabs me in that same giddy way that Buffy did when I was 8 years old. A lot of people seem to be of the opinion that it’s not good to immerse yourself in fictional stories to the extent that I do-but I don’t feel like I’ve ever understood why. The only real arguement I hear is that you miss out on the real world-but that’s missing the point. I love talking about things with other fans and being able to discuss events in our own lives and relate them to the stories. It gives me a whole other level of insight into people’s lives, and I love it.

Anyhow! My current source of geekdom is the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer. Breaking Dawn came out a few weeks ago and I’m still chatting away about it. I would recommend checking it out of course-it’s wonderful fun.
