	Dear sweet Karen, this is the person who described the entire Battle of Yavin as "So, what, we just like fly around and shoot at stuff?" Do not expect the same level of detail on that sort of thing. I will, however, have some scenes to that effect. -----signature----- "You are some self-important encyclopedia with too much time on his hands.

	DarthIshtar: I keep thinking it will get really old really fast and it might just do that If this fic was just 366 days of silly humor, I would say the novelty value would wear off in a week or so - maybe a month at the most. But with Stacey's complex character and characterization, I don't see it getting old at all. It keeps getting better, even. Hook 'em with the "like totally" jokes and reel them in with serious (but humorous) character building, I say. She'll eventually have a love/hate relationship with Yoda, but Obi-Wan just forgot about her for a while. So we might get to hear Stacey complain about Old Blue Ghost Guy asking her for some privacy when they talk about Luke, then? Since this is a recorded diary, there is a difference between SHOUTING something and somewhat drawling something. Savvy? Ah, gotcha. I'd better read the previous posts again, this time with proper inflection. Random thought: how many ways can you have Stacey say "whatever" using this technique? Oh, speaking of which, I totally won him over on the whole Jedi thing. I've been thinking about this, and have come to the conclusion that Yoda is one of those sour old teachers who seems to hate everyone until he discovers a student who genuinely wants to learn from him. I wonder if his attitude toward Obi-Wan in Return of Pink Five: Volume Two is partly because Obi-Wan mistreated Stacey. Or something. . . . Dear gods, I'm getting Yoda/Stacey bunnies now. I don't know what its damage is, but it keeps going red. Dun dun DUN! I may be chasing shadows, but I sense Dark Side Drama ahead. Woot! Maybe when I find the little robot guy, he can fix that. Yeah, what happened to the little robot guy? I've been wondering since Pink Five Strikes Back.

	lazykbys_left--LOL, she's definitely got complex character, so I hope I can keep up with her. Thank you for saying it keeps getting better. And yeah, if I like totally drop a few awesome one liners, dude, that would be so sweet. Yes, we'll have some healthy animosity towards Invisible Kenobi Dude. Yes, inflection is so important. I try to make it sound like Amy where possible. Yes, that is exactly like Yoda! I think his attitude towards Obi-Wan in RoP5v2 has some to do with just the fact that Obi-Wan doesn't have as much faith in Stacey as Yoda does by that point. Yes, plot bunnies are good! LOL, not really with the chasing shadows. You'll see what happened to the LRG. Thanks! LLL--Yay for caught up! I'm sorry you don't have a good sound card. I'm glad the letter had you ROTF. ***** DAY 9 So, I asked him about the whole lightsaber thing. I mean, the new kid totally got spoiled when he was here and I'm the one who stuck around! Well, okay, it wasn't like I had that much of a choice, but dude, it's not fair of him to make me do all this boring stuff! He tried to get me do handstands today, but I'm not doing them until he does. If he thinks he's going to boss me around, he's totally got another thing coming. So anyway, when I asked him about letting me build a sword, he was way harsh. It started out with the whole thing about "Patience. Come your time will" and all that crap about how I'm, like, not ready or something. Translation: Little frog is on some major power trip. Like I need that. Maybe I'll steal that stick thingy of his and make him buy it back. Yeah, that'll teach the punk a lesson! It's raining again, dammit. And that weird kid left the weirdest-smelling stuff ever. I think I'd rather smell like the swamp. Well, maybe not, but I mean come on! I've gotta have some dignity. -----signature----- "You are some self-important encyclopedia with too much time on his hands.

	lazykbys_left--Dude, that's a totally good point. I remember Trey telling me very early on to avoid the whole "breaking a nail" cliche, but in that context, it so makes sense. Exactly the tone I was looking for with the "Just you wait, Henry Higgins" comment. hyperspace_police--Thanks! I love that line in Pink 5 Strikes Back to death. ***** DAY 10 Gooooooooooooood, it's never going to stop raining! Just when I thought my clothes dried off, I got totally drenched again. At least it gave me the perfect excuse to test out my new room. Except for a leak RIGHT over my head that I had to plug up with one of froggy's shirts, it was totally perfect. But this means no more of that fun Jedi stuff. I mean, dude, it's not like the little guy ever shuts up about my destiny and all that crap, but when we're stuck inside, it's all the same. "Wet it is. Beware the Dark Side you must. Going to eat that are you? Stops raining it never does here." What's so bad about the Dark Side other than the fact that it makes you all creepy and whiny? And you have to hang out with heavy-breathing-Goth-dude... Anyway, I don't get why he's all pissed about it. Did that Emperor guy forget to invite him to a party or something? Insult his stew? I just don't see what the big deal is. And it's not like he's really helpful. Anyway, maybe he'll explain it one of these days. DAY 11 More rain. More stew. I don't know what he's putting in it, since he doesn't have a fridge and is some kind of vegetarian. All the veggies are totally grody by now, so I keep saying I had a big lunch. I don't think he's fooled. I mean, he totally scarfed my whole stash of chips and I've sworn off chocolate because it's just another thing giving me zits. So, today, he told me this huge sob story about the new kid's parents. God, that guy's messed up. No wonder he's so weird. Or maybe it's just that bowlcut. It would make anyone mad. I wonder if the little robot guy misses me. I wonder if he's out there, rusting somewhere and hoping I'll come rescue him. Dude, I think I actually miss him. Never thought that would happen. -----signature----- "You are some self-important encyclopedia with too much time on his hands.

	I mean, dude, it's not like the little guy ever shuts up about my destiny and all that crap Hmm . . . seems like Yoda's trying to brainwash Stacey. "Wet it is. Beware the Dark Side you must. Going to eat that are you? Stops raining it never does here." So, today, he told me this huge sob story about the new kid's parents. I wonder what brought this on. Did Stacey complain about Luke?

DarthIshtar Title: Former CR Star Wars Trivia Hostess Registered: Mar '01	Date Posted: 1/18 3:24pm Subject: RE: Diary of a Swamp Thing--Pink 5 Dear Diary response--Stacey's year with Yoda--Day 8
	Lazy--Not brainwashing unless you call all Master/Padawan lectures that. The line "Wet it is. Beware the Dark Side you must. Going to eat that are you? Stops raining it never does here" is actually an homage to the guy who played Yoda in the Pink 5 series. His name is Greg Mannion, he's absolutely brilliant and hilarious as you could tell from just about everything he's done on the project, but he was also in another Truly Dangerous Company production called "Hooves of Destiny." In it, he plays Trader Joe and one of his most-repeated lines is "You gonna eat that?" And Yoda's been promising to give her the dirt on the new kid and Goth dude forever. ***** DAY 12 Yay! No more rain! At least for the last five minutes. After that, who knows? I could really use some good news. I mean, dude, all my clothes smell like swamp, I found bugs in my moisturizer and I've totally got a zit on my nose the size of the basketball thing. PLUS! Did I mention this? Froggy thinks running around in the rain is totally character-building. So now my clothes smell like swamp AND I'm totally drenched. At least he steered clear of that weird cave thing. I would have totally thrown him in there first, just in case there was something dangerous there. I got to meet all the frigging local wildlife. A bunch of them dropped out of trees on me, tried to jump on my sneakers, all that. It was totally sick. Oh, and I think I'm allergic to Swamp Stew. No, really. I've got this freaky rash on my...well, anyway. It's a major pain in the butt if you know what I mean. Finally, a way to get out of eating my veggies without hurting the little guy's feelings. It's not like I like him that much and the guy seriously can't cook, but it'd be a total drag to spend the rest of the time trying to avoid him. DAY 13 Okay, so major beef of the day? Little Mr. Sunshine thinks I've got an attitude problem. An ATTITUDE PROBLEM, YEAH? He smacks everyone around, is a gabillion years old, is only kinda there in his head and has this weird fetish for handstands and I'VE GOT AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM?! Yeah, so check this out. Every time I swear, he whacks me again. I mean, dammit, what's his damage?! Oh, god, that felt good. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMM... OW! You dork! I thought you were totally foraging for something that wouldn't make me get hives! Raining it is again. No good food can I find. Eat leftovers we must. As if! You're a frog. You're supposed to like this rain stuff! Get out there! Out there yourself get, girlfriend. Oh, you did NOT just say that. You wanna piece of this, moldy? Yeah? Come on, bring it on! OW! Heeheehee... More food for me if asleep she is. Hrmmmmmmmm... DAY 14 Okay, that's it. I don't care whose frigging guru he is, he totally gave me a concussion or something. Dammit, I've got a total migraine and he probably thinks pain pills are of the Dark Side. Maybe I'll just swipe his stick thing, smack him around a bit and then see if he changes his mind... Dude, that's the perfect idea! I'll wait until he's doing the whole afternoon nap thing and then I'll take his stick hostage! He's not getting it back until he shows some respect and gets me some decent food. God, I wish my little robot guy were here. He always has the best ideas for pranks. I wonder if there are any cabs out here. It'd probably cost more to get back to civilization than it does to buy makeup for a year, but it'd be so worth it. UGH! He's calling again. Wants to go for another run after breakfast. Um, yeah, like totally not going to fall for that I am. I'll be back for more evil plotting once I've kicked his butt. -----signature----- "You are some self-important encyclopedia with too much time on his hands.

	DarthIshtar: Not brainwashing unless you call all Master/Padawan lectures that. Actually, I do. It starts with the kiddies being taught by Yoda (give me a child until he is five years old, as they say). Then they're given further training by their Masters, who were also taught by Yoda. Multiply this by about twenty to thirty "generations" and you get the PT Jedi Order. It's a wonder they don't all speak backwards, really. Random thought: was Yoda's backwards Valley started by Stacey making fun of his speech patterns? And him retalliating? The line [...] is actually an homage to the guy who played Yoda in the Pink 5 series. [...] He was also in another Truly Dangerous Company production called "Hooves of Destiny." googles watches slowly raises eyebrow at innuendos At least he steered clear of that weird cave thing. I would have totally thrown him in there first, just in case there was something dangerous there. Come to think of it, is the cave dangerous in the PinkFive-verse? Heeheehee... More food for me if asleep she is. Hrmmmmmmmm... I wonder - did Yoda go through Stacey's other entries? Or are they locked with a password? Oh, the possibilities . . . I wonder if there are any cabs out here. It'd probably cost more to get back to civilization than it does to buy makeup for a year, but it'd be so worth it. I guess she really means it, then. But seriously, I keep wanting to give her a for everything she's going through.

	lazykbys_left--LOL, so education is brainwashing. Yoda is just Big Brother, only green, smelly and in need of cooking lessons. If you watch Pink 5 Strikes Back, she starts mimicking his speech patterns ("When my age you were, look as good you didn't!") and then he starts using her words ("Wow, I bet that's a really long story." "Totally...") Yes, that movie is just kinda...wrong. Lemme find the quote about it on the trudang website. Ah, here we go. About Hooves of Destiny, it was said "If you see one politically-incorrect interracial silent Western musical this year... it'll have to be this one." Based on that tagline alone, I decided to watch it and admittedly was somewhat scarred for life, but yeah. It really isn't that dangerous a cave. I mean, oooh, spooky, fog machine and a Valley Girl in a Halloween costume. What's up with that? Except she really does need a latte and I wouldn't want to cross her. Good question about the password. You have now inspired part of this next post. At this point, she really does mean it. Thanks! JediKaren--Oh, we'll see... **** DAY 15 Okay, I'm making this quick because Little Mr. Sadistic totally gave me a concussion! No time to explain, but I don't have any painkillers left and I don't think you can make an ice pack out of swamp sludge. He doesn't even have a freezer, so that's totally out. Job for tomorrow? FIGURE OUT THE DAMN PASSWORD THINGY ON THIS THINGY! DAY 16 Okay, so I'm still, like, totally out of it, but I've finally figured out how to keep him from listening to this. SO LALALA FROGGY GUY CAN'T EAVESDROP. NANANANANANA! Well, okay, maybe yelling about it isn't, like, THE best idea but whatever. Anyway, so that's why I've got a killer headache. When he was stealing my stash, he figured out how to listen to these things and totally caught on to me stealing his stick thing. Well, so I didn't know about it. Yeah, remember why? So, I go to do it, I've got my hands on the stick of doom and all of a sudden he wakes up and totally starts wailing on me! Just because I was going to do the right thing. I mean, girl power and all that! It's way uncool to get all brutal on me. It's bad enough he can't cook and he's got this thing for corporal punishment, but he's way harsh, too. I don't know if I should cry or just kick his wrinkly little... WHAT? I'M BUSY! SO WHAT? GET IT YOURSELF! Oh, did I mention he thinks I'm some kind of maid? Clean out his house, haul his butt around the whole freaking planet, freak out the new kid when he's got a beef with him. Does he actually think I'd stay here if I had another choice? Tomorrow, I'm totally gonna hide out in my ship. Maybe I can air it out. DAY 17 Ew, this thing smells worse than ever. Where can I get a frigging air freshener on this slimeball? I can't leave the door open because I don't know when it's gonna start raining. It's not like I get the weather channel on my phone. Which reminds me, gotta charge it again, check my messages. The old guy's sleeping in and the stick's out of reach, but I'm totally not falling for it. So, here's my plan. It totally sucks that the only thing I've got to talk to is the litle mike on my computer thingy, but hey, the robot guy ditched me. What else am I supposed to do? Run up my phone bill trying to get the smuggler guy to pick up? So, I figure I can get out tomorrow. I can pack all my food and clothes now, get him to talk himself to sleep with all those boring stories about Invisiboy and the good old days or whatever he always says about that. He'll be totally zonked and I can play hooky. I think Big Flappy took my little robot guy...um...well, anyway, it's, like, over there by that tree. I'm totally gonna rescue him and we'll fix my ship and maybe buzz the little frog guy's house and then we'll be off to hook up with my boyfriend and save the Galaxy or something. Perfect plan, right? Yeah, I'm totally psyched for it. DAY 18 Mission, like, totally accomplished. He's curled up, hugging his frigging stick and muttering something about frogs. Probably planning some kind of family reunion. I'm packed, I'm showered, sorta, and I'm out of here for a road trip if you can call a swamp a road. I'm so jazzed I can barely moisturize. I figure those bat things are too fat to get real far, so it'll be over by tonight. Gonna sign off now. I've gotta watch where I'm going. DAY 19 Okay, so I found some flappy things and they didn't have him. And it's raining again. He is so dead when I find him. I'll just erase his memory or something. They couldn't even give me directions, just ate half my food and one of my favorite t-shirts. I beat 'em off with that lightsaber I swiped for self-defense. Time to get moving again. DAY 20 And it's still raining and I still haven't found him. My boots are totally mudded over. This sucks. That's all I'm saying. DAY 21 Yeah, like, what's the point of repeating yesterday? DAY 22 More flappy things. I threw my rope around one of 'em like he was a pet monkey or something, but he mostly dragged me around for a while before chewing off the rope. Yeah, it worked a lot better back home. At least it stopped raining. Maybe I can, like, get dry some time next year. DAY 23 Nope, spoke too soon. It's raining again and there's this weird smell. Oh, god, I think that's me. That's totally sick. I am so out of here just as soon as I... Ohmygod! It's Big Flappy! HEY! GET BACK HERE! -----signature----- "You are some self-important encyclopedia with too much time on his hands.

	Which reminds me, gotta charge it again, check my messages. I keep wondering why she doesn't call the Rebels for help. Or maybe she did and was told, "You're with Yoda. You don't need our help." I figure those bat things are too fat to get real far, so it'll be over by tonight. Stacey's optimism knows no bounds. You gotta love her for that. They couldn't even give me directions, just ate half my food and one of my favorite t-shirts. My, how selfish of them. Yeah, like, what's the point of repeating yesterday? I think you missed an opportunity for a joke here - i.e., doing three or four consecutive daily updates that only have "Same as yesterday" in them. Then again, people might not get the joke and complain about upping. Ohmygod! It's Big Flappy! Oooh, will we get to find out what happened to little robot guy next? I can hardly wait.

	lazy--Well, she probably doesn't have anyone except the smuggler guy on speed dial. And you've got a good point about that possible reaction. Her optimism won't really last very long. I could have put that in there as an homage to Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent, where it is very much like that, but you know, I need to space out these homages. And stop using the word homage. Yes, you will. Thanks! ***** DAY 26 Yeah, yeah, I know! I totally told myself I was going to talk to this thing, like, every day, but it just didn't work that way! Big Flappy's litle friends freaked out every time I turned this thing on, so I couldn't do it at all because they would not freaking leave me alone! So, yeah, now they've totally shoved off and I'm here. In the mud. Alone. With my tape recorder thingy. Yeah, did I mention I was alone? It's totally one of those long freaking stories, but lemme just say the basics. First of all, yeah, it was Big Flappy, but he was totally not into the idea of taking me to his leader or whatever. I got a leash around his neck with a GOOD knot this time and every time he tried to fly away, I'd brain him with my lightsaber. Of course, the total drawback was that he was too concussed to find the place for a while. That's how day 24 got taken up. Finally, end of that day, we got to his nest and what do I see there? Six baby flappers and my little robot guy, hanging out like there's nothing wrong. Nothing wrong?! I'M STUCK HERE WITHOUT ANY LIP GLOSS AND HE'S BABYSITTING? Oh, yeah, really nice. I'm definitely giving HIM a recommendation next time he switches jobs. So, I go, "HEY! Little robot guy! I'm totally here to rescue you!" Now, I thought he'd be really happy to see me, right? I mean we've been together for what, like a gabillion years? And we're totally tight. He's even got some good guy advice when he's not being a total dweeb. No, he goes, "Oh, hi, Lacey." LACEY? Yeah, LACEY?! It would have been way uncool to have a fit over him having like some kind of electronic amnesia or something. So I just really casual went, "Yeah, don't worry. Me and you are gonna get out of here really soon." And he goes, "Nuh-uh, I don't think so!" First of all, where'd he get THAT attitude! It's not like I'm that much of a punk. And B, "I don't think so!"?!?!?! Yeah, the guy totally got dropped on his head too many times by Big Flappy on the way here. So I'm all, like, "Whatever. We just have to get the ship fixed and then we're totally good to go." "Well, what if I don't wanna go, huh?" "Um, well, you're, like, totally not supposed to be here, right? I mean, there's like this war going on and no one else has any clue what they're doing. They've probably blown everything up by now just because they can't figure out which big red button's which." "Yeah, but I'm not going back there with you." "As if!" "No, seriously, I'm not going back. You think it's sooooo great to be this big hotshot pilot and I'm the one whose head gets blown off and has to hear you bitch about your crappy love life all the time. Like that's supposed to be fun? When have you ever cared about me?" "Cared about you? Hello! I totally get you fixed whenever you get yourself shot..." "Get MYSELF shot? Have you been sniffing swamp fumes again, girlfriend?" "And I totally tried to fix you up with the new kid's robot." "Yeah, but the new kid's robot was a GUY!" "Well, how was I supposed to know?" "Besides, these bat-guys are way cool. They think I'm totally da bomb." "Well you are da bomb, but you're MY da bomb! Come off it!" "Dude, I'm not coming back with you!" "Dude, don't even go there." "Dude, what's your damage." "Oh, so you think that's funny?" Yeah, so this whole thing wasn't going so well, plus it got really dark all of a sudden right around then and it was totally dumb to stand around yelling at each other all night, so I told him I was going to talk him out of it in the morning. His response? "WHATEVER!" I'm totally giving him a memory wipe when we get back. So, at least the flappettes were totally nice to me. It wasn't like I was gonna eat their worms or whatever, but at least they let me use the spare nest instead of sleeping on the ground. Well, apparently, they got together and decided to be nice to me since LRG was being a total loser, so the next morning, they'd caught and cleaned something that actually looked like a bird and my robot zapped it enough to cook it. It was the first actually normal thing I've had to eat all month. See? That's why I LIKE the little guy. He's a total weirdo sometimes, but we take care of each other, right? Well, yeah, turns out he's got the hots for one of the bat things. Not like they can have kids or really talk or whatever, but he wants to settle down. Yeah? Well, when do I get to settle down? Every time I think me and the smuggler guy have some time to ourselves, one of us has to go off and save the freaking galaxy again! So, yeah, he's not coming back, I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to get back to the frog guy and I still have, like, NO idea how to fix the ship. I mean I could wrap it up in vines or something but that totally probably wouldn't work. It's not like I've got all the wrench thingys. That's not my job! Couldn't he just come back and fix the damn ship for old time's whatever? -----signature----- "You are some self-important encyclopedia with too much time on his hands.
