A new low
Recently I sunk to a new low. For people who don't know, I'm an avivd star wars fan. And as such, I take it upon my shoulders to know everything a proper fan should know. It's not enough that I have seen the 6 movies, lurk around in forums and ljs, bought the star wars t-shirt - no I have to go a step further and read the star wars novels.....
Reading star wars novels by itself is not bad...what is really bad is that I borrowed the series I wanted from the JUNIOR section of national library. Imagine me, a 22 year old girl seen scurrying around the junior section of the library, clutching 3 books possessively and trying to avoid running over little kids. This must be the biggest sacrifice I've ever made for Anakin Skywalker.....(the one where I book the tickets online weeks before Revenge of the Sith doesn't count) I have to face the curious looks of children and their parents and tried to pretend in vain that the books were not meant for me. Somehow, I don't think it worked. Okay.....it may be an exaggeration but I truly felt out of place standing among shelves as tall as me.
Jude Watson's Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest series were wonderful insights into what happen before the prequels (the training of Obi-Wan) and between episode 1 and 2 (the training of Anakin Skywalker). I just don't understand why she must write for junior readers..... I mean a lot of star wars fans are adults too right. But come again, if she were to write like Timothy Zahn, I think I'll find it a bit hard to swallow.
Anyway, I just realise from Xinyi that not everyone has chinese software in their computer. Although I wrote my name on msn, it only appeared as two blocks to her. Hence from now on, I have a new name: two blocks. You can only call me that if you don't have chinese software in your com ok.
