I'm weird... there really is no other way to put it. I think maybe the only "normal" thing I've done in my life is have a kid..... five years ago I was added to the growing number of single parents (Notice I didn't say single mothers... there are more single fathers than there used to be people!! Stand up for the man who knows how to do the right thing!).
I'm not your typical "girley" girl.... Most guys take a girl to a horror movie for one reason... she'll be scared and be all over him. Not me... The guy usually jumps more than I do. I'm not a big fan of mushy love stories although there have been a few that have gotten my attention. The love letter, a Hallmark movie, is one of them.
I'm a Horror and Sci-fi girl! You can keep "Friends" and "Everybody loves Raymond" and "New stories about old Christie" (I think I got the last one wrong but that's cause I never watch it...). Give me Star Trek and Stargate any day!! I can't stand sitcoms! They literally make me feel sick to my stomach, just like that house on University... that place is creepy! (If you know me... you get that, if not... nevermind :) And don't get me started on Ugly Betty.... tell me why for a show called ugly betty, they couldn't get an actual ugly person? Why take a nice looking person like whatever her name is and make her look ugly? Ugly people might like to get credit for something even if it is just for being ugly.More on weird.... most people collect things like dolls or bears or stamps or something like that... I collect people. Boy, that makes me sound like a serial killer or something... let me explain... I collect people through their work... by people, obviously I mean actors. I collect movies that they have been in. Why? Well I'm a little old for dolls and bears and I don't see the point in a stamp unless you're going to mail something to someone you have no email address for... or something you can't send through email like... a (I can't think of anything... but it would be big and un-email-able). Not to mention... I like movies. Remember that show dream on? Everything that happened to the guy he was able to relate to something he saw on tv from his childhood to young adulthood that had been spent in front of the tv... it's something like that only I have had more of a life than that guy did.
Besides, how else are these people supposed to know you appreciate them and their work? They may not know who bought the movie, but they know it's selling cause they're getting paid!
I have collected most of if not all of... Alexis Cruz, Joe Flanigan, Scott Bakula, Jonathan Brandis (RIP),Vince Ventresca. Paul Ben-Victor, David Hewlett, Michael Shanks and Nathan Fillion. There are some others, but these are the ones that really count. Notice that most of these people have done alot of Sci-fi?
Hey, Sci-fi actors don't call Sci-fi fans the most loyal and dedicated group of fans for no reason. (Except for those people that keep asking where the bathroom is on Atlantis... come on people!! Think of something better. Besides, that's more a question for the writers and set decorators is it not?)Another thing about me that is weird... although it shouldn't be weird, it should be the norm. I tend to treat actors like people because... well, they are people! I ask for autographs and photos when it's appropriate. True example... Sitting outside the hotel here in Indy during Starbase Indy 2006, Alexis Cruz came out and sat at the table with me. I talked to him as if it wasn't a guy from movies and tv sitting beside me. For that I seemed to get a little more... I don't want to say respect, because Alexis respected everyone he came across that weekend... but maybe more recognition. I was the one that wasn't cramming a camera or autograph book down his throat. And the next year at Dragon Con... he remembered me, and not just my face, but my name and certain things we had talked about during those times at the table outside the hotel. Actors deserve the same respect and privacy that everyone else does. I know I wouldn't want to be trying to get in my car or go shopping and seven thousand people want me to stop what I'm doing and sign my name over and over. I know that's a price that comes with the job, but no where in their contract, that I'm aware of, does it say "I submit to having no privacy for the rest of my acting career. I will not get upset if I'm trying to have dinner with my friends and/or family and people start asking me to ignore my friends and/or family so I can take pictures with them." There is a little thing that everyone should have heard about and that applies to every living thing on the planet... it's called respect. You have to give it in order to get it!Like I said, I'm not really what you'd expect... but this is what you get. A sci-fi loving, people collecting, crazy, weird, all people (including actors) respecting, Horror loving, single parent.But the one thing about me that is normal (Besides Cassie, who is turning out weird just like me... what did you expect? I'm raising her by myself, she has no one else to learn from hehehe), I'm looking for that right guy. The one that gets my insanity and loves me anyway. The kind of guy that will willingly sit on the sofa with me and watch hours and hours of Star Trek Enterprise or Quantum Leap. The kind that will know and understand and respect that Friday nights at 10 are quiet time. That one hour needs to be uninterupted. I thought I might have found that guy... but it seems I was wrong about that. Oh well, it's a big universe... he's somewhere. I guess Cassella and I will boldly go by ourselves for awhile longer.~~
