I wonder if I can know the truth if I just have "All Along the Watchtower" on repeat forever
And since the impending doom of a freaking IV drip seems to make me unable to sleep (really, I don't care about the other parts, I have a huge needle phobia, and I have a freaking scar on my wrist from a bad IV job from when I was a kid, so) I caught my ass up on BSG.
Oh man, why are my favorites the types that always frakking VOLUNTEER FOR THE FRAKKING SUICIDE MISSIONS? If it weren't for the fact that doing shit like that makes me love them, I would be so mad. It's that difference that makes me understand Baltar, but never really quite love him as much.
That had better be one SPECTACULAR misson.
Also, I do love your little medicinal stash there Laura. Omg woman, I love your crazy ass so much. And "You didn't think you can take off without me, Admiral, did you?" Marry me.
It's been fun talking with my dad, because he's very Old School Sci-Fi, and thinks the shit I like is too "artsy" and likes to make fun of me a little, especially over the fact that I have been known to cry a little during parts (fiction always makes me cry more than reality... it's weird). But then, I think he likes sci-fi for the gizmo element and then the escape-to-someone-better element; he really liked Original!Guy!Starbuck. Because I think dad always wanted to be a player (he tried very hard, from what I heard... but he's a dork). And I'm the same way, but my definition of better is more wrapped up in mixed up nobility and etc.
Kind of a neat psychology analysis with the both of us, really. I wonder if it makes me more or less mature to love heroics that will inevitably fail? Probably less.

Well, the Clone Wars cartoon is filled with heroics that will eventually fail horrible and totally so I suppose it is a sign of immaturity. ;p
