(Um, everyone should know what a complete and utter geek I am for these movies, right? Okay, then.) And it should read: .12 Parsecs = 3.7028163 × 1015 meters, but the polls won't let me format, BAH. *Hulk Smash because MATH MATTERS* Also note: that is based on the size of Planet Earth, not Tattoine or Alderan or whatever planet it is that lies close to the Black Hole near the Kessel Run - like if the planet is larger, the length would be shorter. So let's not get into arguments about navigation through black holes. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Nerd alert! *pushes glasses up nose*
I'm heading out of town for a family vacation this Sunday - have an excellent weekend and next week, everyone! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. Heeeeeee!

Now: name the sentient tip (heh heh) of what forest mountain on what forest planet that is in what culture? GO.
(heeeee!)
After the date, his dad picked us up and drove me home. He had to make his son get out of the car and walk me to the door, where he shook my hand.
Brian, if you're reading this, it was the best nerd date, ever. ;)
Your nerd date sounds like the most awesome thing EVER. *loves Brian on your behalf* Heeee!
*g*
::Sniff:: But I'm OK now. ::Sniff Sniff:: No really, I'm OK.
I spit in your parents' direction for doing that to you. (but only metaphorically because they are your PARENTS. Cruel though they may be. *g*)
Chris and I went to see the original three in the theater when they rereleased them. And he's seen all six movies for the first time in the theater with his father. For the crappy prequels we drove to Philly for each one so he could continue the tradition of seeing them with dad. And the story is that when they went to see A New Hope, he was in his seat with popcorn and drink and as soon as Vader came on screen he got scared and moved to his dad's lap for the rest of the movie. Awww. :)
I've seen every one in the theater since the original '77 showing. The "pre-touch ups" the "touch ups" and the prequels. I love that story about Chris and his dad, AWWWW! (You didn't recreate that did you? *g*)
The only dream in my life that has stayed consistent is that since I was 4 I've wanted to be Mrs. Luke Skywalker.
Oh and in case you didn't know, Luke shot first.
Have a nice weekend, my dear. I plan on getting a whole ton of sun.
Luke?? Ahahahahaha. Um... sure! Have a wonderful weekend!
I have a CURRENT OBI-WAN ACTION FIGURE that looks like Ewan McGregor with "Real Slashing Action" -- something that never fails to crack me up.
But no, you totally win the queer award, dork wad, JEEEESUS. (Ahahaha, you're awesome. And by awesome I mean lame.) O_O
Boy, did I just show my true nerd colors OR WHAT!? Heeee!
I will not leave Dancetomato hanging like this again.

*even though I'm only 34*
Oh, I love Indy! But nothing is as wonderful to me as Star Wars, no lie. *happy nerd sigh*
(We never owned a Gremlin, but we did have a Hornet)
Hornet! Those were so fun. I had a '76 Fiat for a while. Boy, a bigger piece of junk doesn't exist than that *cough* vehicle.
