Dragonlance...

[juldea]

I have such a freaking addictive personality. Now that I've restarted reading the Dragonlance books, I MUST READ THEM ALL. Even the 50 or so that have been published since I stopped collecting them. Faugh. At least I don't plan on buying all of those... just borrowing them from the library or something.

But why do I even have this urge? The series is total cheese! Most of the books are crap! I won't gain any respect for reading the entire series; I might even lose it from a few people!

I do this obsessive thing... Before the Dragonlance revival it was Wicked, and it's been Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Joss Whedon shows, Dashboard Confessional, A Song of Ice and Fire, Radiohead, MST3k - books, movies, TV, music, you name it. I get a glimmer of like for something and I dive head-first into the sea of fandom. I even collected the original Pokemon cartoon on tape for a while (I still have a few taking up space in boxes - should do something about them.)

It all started with the Babysitter's Club. I blame Ann Martin!!

there are BSC books 1-117 at my parents house still. not to mention 1 Babysitters Little Sisters Book, which i didnt care for, 5, or so, Babysitters Club Mystery books, and of course, 11 or so superspecials.
i loved those crazy baby sitters. except mallory.

Oh, god, Mallory was frickin' annoying.

yea. jessie was ok because she was quiet and not around that much because of ballet practice and had sort of an interesting family story, but mallory was awful.

"I'm the oldest of eight, and that's the ONLY character trait I have!"

"Oh yeah, and I wanna be blonde and skinny."

it would have been hard to be the oldest of all those kids but she had really nice parents, as far as i remember.

i hope you are feeling better today

i dont know why i was so attached to claudias grandma. claudia is who i thought was coolest, but i didnt like her best because i thought that in real life she was the least likely to be my friend.
i loved dawn and mary anne and when they became sisters my life was complete. dawn reminded me of myself, or who i wantd to be when i was cool and in junior high and old enough to babysit. mary anne was who i always wished i were. the quiet one.

heh, mary anne is who i were with some Kristi thrown in. i wanted to be claudia :)

Man. If I had that box, I would so re-read through them all the time. :)

Wow, the weirdest memory just came to me. The Disney vacation Super Special, where they met the two kids on the cruise, one of whom said something about, "Since our parents were k-" and Kristy was trying to brainstorm what word the girl could've been saying and thought, "Kicked? Kissed? No..."

Heh.
