Triangles and Lines (somewhat random Star Wars thoughts)

There's a generational leap between Episode Three and Episode Four -- I believe that nineteen years is the most common figure used. This leap enables us to go from the line of Obi-Wan-Anakin-Padme to the triangle of Han/Leia/Luke.
( Spoilers for all six films, including Revenge of the Sith )

Hmm. Not entirely sure where I'm going with this, but I wanted to set down some of the thoughts that I'm having on the saga. All of this very much informs my characterization choices in stories, as well, if that is of interest.

Personal: Work

Work was odd yesterday.

Not the least of which was two different guys asking for my number (which I did not give out because, dude, like I'm going to trust someone on the basis of less than five minutes of conversation, all of which are work-related, and also because I'm not really feeling the random guy attraction right now.). I mean, huh? I did not look any different yesterday than I have any other day working the drive-thru.

And I was in a bad mood for a lot of last night. Am I suddenly more attractive when I'm pissed off and covering it up?

I do think that I'm starting to get fast food burn-out, which is a sign, I think, that I need to magically get another job the way I magically got this one. Perhaps my mom will happen to mention something tomorrow (no, seriously, that's how I found out about my current job -- my dad just mentioned that he's noticed a Burgerville (actual name) was hiring, I went in and submitted an application, and I was hired that same day -- one of the managers actually raced out to grab me before I got into my car. Possibly because I said I could work any time, starting right then.).

My mom suggested in an email that I think about going back to college. Well, going to college. 'Back' implies that I actually finished a course at some point in the past which is... not true. Which is... a thought. One reason that I left was because I just couldn't stand the idea of being judged, and all the people with the potential judginess terrified me. And I think that my time here has helped me strengthen my skin. I'm still not really brave, but I'm braver than I used to be.

Hmm.

ETA: I'm also actually on AIM, for the first time in a really long time. Screen name is buffyinmotion.
