    I love it!

    You've built a working Droid.

    One of the guys in my FanForce group built a working droid. Well, it doesn't roll around by itself, but it's dome does swivel and all it's little lights light up.

    You can see the droid, plus many examples of the "Signs That You are an obsessed Star Wars Fan" at my group's website. Once you get on the site, click on "Past Events" and you should see the AOTC premier listed. Click on the premier link and you should see the pictures. You'll see every type of Star Wars-related deviant behavior in them. :p

    I've got a new wave/heavy metal version of the Imperial March. Does that make me even more obsessed than the "average" obsessed fan? ;)

    Maybe after my meeting with my dietician, I would like to try and make a Bariss Costume as a reward. At least the cloak and uniform isn't revealing.

    I think it would be fun.

    Yeah, Barriss is cool too.

    She is a real fan fave with the female fans. I can't remember how many women PM-ed me looking for pics of Barriss because they were planning on ceating a costume. I wish I kept in touch with them to maybe see a pic of how it turned out.

    Yeah,

    Well I've been keeping busy trying to think of stuff to add to the site. School's starting back up in August, but I'm not worried, I survived my first year.


    I would love to go as Bariss, but like I said I would have to see my dietician to help me. Maybe I should say, "I want to become a Jedi, help me out here."

    Anyways, my friend has a fan force in the Midwest Section.

    The Quad City Jedi Order.

    They've only started the other week and they have grown tremendously, but most of their members are in the 501st so that's why they are a bit larger than we are.

    It's interesting, I have their site bookmarked in case you want to get ideas for ours.

    ROFL!


    That's extremely funny.

    Another one: On HWY 70 going to the beach, "I'm endangering the mission, I shouldn't have come."

    Followed by: Duel of the Fates.

    Do you know how many times my parents have given me "the look" because of my Star Wars addiction? I haven't even taken my Star Wars music out of my CD players and yet there's dad with "the look".

    "It is pointless to resist my daughter."

    I think secretly he's a Sith Lord because in my dreams he is Darth Vader. No joke about that.

    But he was once a Star Wars fan himself. He was the one that intrduced me to Star Wars in the first place.

    "Joined real life your father has. Lost the Star Wars fandom he did."

    "I can't bring him back."

    "Then real life has already won. You were our only hope."

    "No do or do not. There is no try!"

    Plus, I went the other week and got the lightsabers from Episode II from Wallyworld and I have kept them hidden. Maybe if we decide to have duels, I will bring them plus my Luke ROTJ Saber. But still the saga continues......
