So...since my last post, I have officially accepted the fact that I am a geek. No doubt about it. And you know what I say? "So what?! Who cares?!" I have saved for the past year for the world's largest Star Trek convention this August in Las Vegas (and I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am -- I have purchased my autograph and photo op tickets, so it is really happening! I'm going to meet Bill Shatner and George Takei! Woo!). I never miss an episode of The Big Bang Theory and I actually understand and laugh at 99.9% of their sci-fi references. And I am so totally stoked to add Carrie Fisher's signature to my ever-growing collection -- that's right, Princess Leia herself -- and I don't even give a damn that it's not on a Star Wars photo! And you know why? Huh, huh? Because her writings are absolutely HILARIOUS and I am more than happy to add her book to my collection. Plus, I got quite the deal compared to what one has to pay for her signature on a Star Wars photo. So there! :)
I have loved Star Wars for as long as I can remember -- I mean, it was a HUGE part of my childhood (I had almost every action figure imaginable and still dream of one day possessing a fully functional lightsaber) -- and it was due, in large part, to Carrie Fisher's performance as Leia. Return of the Jedi was my favorite growing up, basically because of all the different characters at Jabba's Palace, but the more I watch it today, The Empire Strikes Back is quickly becoming my favorite from the original trilogy. The entire beginning on Hoth and the ending in Bespin are so action-packed...I love it. And don't even get me started on the prequels...I think they're good in their own right (thank you, Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson), but nothing compares to the originals.
Now, this signature comes courtesy of the nice people at Books & Co. out in Dayton, OH, who said they would have Ms. Fisher sign a copy of her latest book, Shockaholic, for me. She's going to look great next to Mayim Bialik and Dame Julie Andrews, who are both doing fine...thanks for asking. I had originally asked for the book to be personalized if Ms. Fisher was accepting dedications, but I suppose things didn't quite work out. Either way, I'm thrilled! Thanks, as always, for looking!
