rachg82So, I know you all are a bunch of Buffyites (fuckin' Buffy, man. Hee. Kidding! *ducks*), but I know at least Nehallania will get what the Hell I'm on about, if I talk about the X Files, around here. Oh, and the lovely Ms. Ugly Bug Ball, who I know drops by, occasionally, will also. The rest of you can just talk amongst yourselves, when I do. Here, I'll give you a topic. Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island. Discuss.
I'm watching Fight Club on TNT, right now, and this episode really did pretty much suck llama balls. But, because I swear I'm going through XF withdrawal now that the show is over, I'm sitting here watching it anyway. I haven't seen this episode since it first ran, like two years ago. Anyway, I forgot that there's this adorable scene in the beginning, between Mulder and Scully in the office, as he's doing his whole slideshow rigmarole. A couple months ago, I would've hopped over to TWoP, and been all "Shippy moment, bishes! Booyah!" But I can't now, so, right. Heh. I'll just do it here, where no one even knows what I'm talking about. Hee. Good plan! Anyway, Mulder's all "So, whatever could this be, Scully?" and--rather than playing along--she actually calls him on the game he plays, dropping hints, and keeping information to himself, so she can sit there and guess shit. And then she starts getting all playful, and guessing anyway, and I'm like "Aw, look at you! Ms. Rational, throwing out the paranormal lingo!" Finally, she's like "Mulder, would you just show the slide?" and he does, and she's like "Ha! I knew it" or something, and Mulder's like "I'm going to start doing the autopsies now." Hee! I want to marry both of them, and have their babies. Except, you know, without the whole miraclenotalienorisit???-ness.
Ooh, and now they're playing Je Souhaite. I like this ep, and not only because Mulder and Scully are so obviously tappin' that sweet ass, during the commercial breaks. Hee. Scully is so cute, I want to just eat her right up (not like that, you pervs. Haha), when she thinks she's really found an invisible man she can show to people. And then it disappears. My poor girlfriend!

Anyhoo...yay, X-files ranting!! Did I tell you Rach that we're only just getting Season 9 here in Australia? It's on at the 'well, this won't rate, but we're contractually obligated to air it' time of 8.30 on a Saturday night. Last weekend they didn't run it at all, in favour of the Blues Brother's movie, for Burt's sake! This weekend it's pushed back to 10.30!!! I'm scared they're going to lose interest all together by the time we get to the finale, and I'm going to miss the opportunity to see Mulder and Scully spooning on my own TV. Damn you Network Ten! And damn you Chris Carter for turning my beloved show into the crapfest it is, which has made people turn away, which means Network Ten can treat it with such disrespect. Damn you all!
Phew! That feel's better!! Got that off my chest. Speaking of Scully, I have the worst ID photo on my badge for work I think I've ever seen. Happily however, the badge is really only useful for the magnetic stripey thing on the back, which lets me into the car park, and to the building after hours, and into the threate corridor in emergencies etc.
Anyway (don't worry, this is getting to the Scully bit) I've taken to pasting photographs of other people over my own, because no one ever checks that I am the person in the photograph. I was the Queen Mum for a while, until I got scared she was going to die, and I would look all disrespectful, and I took her off (I don't think this counts as being psychic, in that she did die a few weeks after this, she was like 100 or somethiing!) Then I was Austin Powers, until the vicious car park swiper tore him right off. So, about a month ago, I found this great picture of Scully, which was the right size, and pasted her right on there. Woo! I wanted to write FBI in really big letters right next to it, but thought that might really be disrespecting the whole security angle. So, I've just been quietly going around with GA's face where my ugly mug should be. No ones noticed much because Scully is a bit subtler than Austin, as well as the correct gender for me, and I have red hair, so at a VERY cursory glance, it all looks A-OK.
So last weekend I'm at work, and one of my patients Dad's (I work in neonatal intensive care, when I'm not at uni) goes, 'wow, that is an awesome ID photo'.
I thought he was kidding, so I'm like, 'Yeah, thanks. Hee'
Then he's like, 'Did you have to wear a suit for the interview?'
And I was like 'Oh, yeah, power dressing you know'
And then (and this is the clincher) he says, 'Has anyone told you with your hair out you look just like that chick from the X Files?"
I still thought he was kidding and I'm like 'Oh yeah, get that all the time?' (Me and GA? Same gender, sameish age, red hair, called Gillian. Similarity ends there. She - gorgeous, toned, tiny. Me - not so gorgeous, slightly less than toned, 5'9")
So this guy was like 'No, that's amazing, you could be her sister in that photo.' And then it finally dawned on me that he wasn't joking, and I was like 'Errr, that is the chick from the X files dude!'. And he was all embarassed, but I told him that being mistaken for Scully? Even though he was actually looking at the real Scully, and admittedly, through the perspex of the isolette. Best damn five minutes of my sad little life! Hee!
Why? Because Scully is my girlfriend!!! Yay!
OK, end incredibly long, rambling story without a real point to it.
Love
Ugly Bug Ball
