Oct. 22nd, 2002 03:08 amHad a very fun time with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
storme this afternoon. I did a bit of shopping, and although I couldn't find a warm winter coat, I did find a pair of absolutely gorgeous dark purple velvet trousers that fit me perfectly, woohoooo! So was v.pleased about that. *G*
Also spent WAY too much money in Forbidden Planet, but I think it was worth the expense -- among other things I found a 1st edition hardcover of Charles de Lint's new novella Seven Wild Sisters, illustrated by Charles Vess, and it was signed by both of them! YEAH! Charles de Lint is one of my favourite authors, but damn does he have the most appalling signature of all time. I thought it was a meaningless scribble at first, it looks so much like Vess was just testing out the pen and making sure it worked before writing his own name, instead of the signature of a mature, creative adult. I think I'll scan and send it toscarletmacaw for some handwriting analysis, I'm sure it'd show some fascinating results. *grins*
The Buffy symposium was...interesting. I'm not sure how else to put it. Seven women, nearly all over the age of 40 discussing the socio-political ramifications of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Most odd. The truly strange thing was that Storme and I were among the youngest people in the audience -- at least half were over the age of 45, I'm sure of it. And they all knew the episode titles and could quote just as well as me...I didn't know whether to be impressed that adults could show such an interest in this marvellous program or horrified at their obvious lack of anything approaching a life. The whole thing reminded me of some of my lectures at university, and it rather frightened me to think that if I hadn't diverted from the path I had originally chosen for myself and become an actor, I could have been one of those scary women on the panel dissecting pop culture to find it's underlying mythological significance...I still want to someday write a book, or at least a well respected essay on the importance of myths and faerie tales in modern society, but I really don't want to end up like one of these obsessed Buffy fans. Pray for me that I don't. :)
I know I shouldn't, but I feel a bit sad that only three people replied to my last journal entry. Please tell me I'm not that boring. *laughs*
I guess I'm so used to being inundated with comments lately I feel slighted when they don't appear. I know that's utterly ridiculous, you haven't forgotten me! Bah, I'm just so silly sometimes. *grins sheepishly* (This is the problem with being both a Virgo and ENFP -- you need constant reassurance that you are appreciated and adored. Being me is such a curse. ;-)
Here's an excellent survey thingy fromsunfighter31.
( Bwahahahaaa! )
I know there was something witty I had thought of earlier to end this entry with, but as I can't remember it right now I'll just say goodnight. Goodnight! :)
