Things: Serenity, Who, Personal

a) Will be going to Serenity today. Only just realized that this means I can't watch the new Who until I get back. So, filled with equal amounts of joy and woe. Oh, joy! Oh, woe!

b) Have come to the conclusion that many people see the Doctor as much more of an asshole than I do. Am uncertain why they still seem to like him so much, as I would really hate him if I viewed him the way they seem to.

c) Drive-through pet peeve: why do people place money on the (windy) counter? I'm holding out my hand. Put the damn money in my hand, you assholes, so I don't have to scoop it up and nearly drop it because I cut my fingernails down all the way or worry about it being blown off. It can't be that you're afraid of germs, because you have no issue taking change from me.

Serenity!

Serenity was, of course, brilliant. I won something at the raffle, too! A beaded bracelet and necklace. They will go perfectly with the shirt that I was already planning to wear to Club Vivid. Yay! Plus, I got swag from making additional donations, plus I bought a chalkboard mug (and chalk to go with it). And they showed JW's Equality Now speech before the movie. His 'strong women characters' speech that makes me cry (always, whenever he gets to the bit about equality being like gravity, being necessary to stand on this earth as men and women).

The movie made me cry five times (each time, I cry more and laugh more and just adore it more -- how does he do that?). Also, Simon and River are so Dean and Sam that it broke my heart. Oh, this makes me love both sib sets even more than I did before!

There was so much cheering and general wonderful-ness in the audience. I'm really hoping that this is a permanent yearly event, because it's so much fun.

And, now, I will go watch The Sound of the Drums.
