I'll fill in a bit of backstory. Last week, my parents called to ask me when I'm planning to go to see Sith. The conversation went something like this:

Me: Hello
Mother: Hello. When are you going to see star Wars?
Me: I don't actually plan to.
Mother: Why not?
Me: Look at his last two movies. Spectacular works of motion picture art, them.
Mother: Well... you're going.
Me: No I'm not.
Mother: Yes you are. I'm your mother, and if I say you're going to a movie, you're going to a movie. It's not healthy to not watch Star Wars.

And then, today, my dear, sweet mother calls again.

Mother: Hello.
Me: Hi.
Mother: Do you want to go to see Star Wars tonight?
Me: No, not really.
Mother: Well... you're going to. I said so.
Me: That's a shade expensive, don't you think? George's last two movies...
Mother: STFU n00b! w3 alr3dy g0t ur 71kk3t! *
Me: Oh, ok. Guess I'm seeing it then.
Mother: Good. Missing Star Wars is bad for you.

Somehow, I think my parents are a particularly obsessive fancouple, and they just want to take me along so that they can keep a few tattered shreds of self-respect. On the bright side, free movie.

* That never actually happened. I think I'd have died laughing if it did.

w00! And I'm not that very interesting in here, so there's no need to feel horribly guilty about it.

Besides, you have our Mr Butcher friended. That scores many points. Waiting eagerly for the DFRPG?

I hadn't actually heard such a thing was in progress. Also, I added him after finding reference to his journal existing in reading your friends list. I hadn't previously known of it.

Actually, I think I knew about it at some point, and then forgot before I had a chance to do anything about it.

*laughs* I cheated and check Fred Hicks' list to see if he had a journal, and then friended it for the writing goodness.
