So I know this doesn't always work out!<br /><br />And I had definitely thought about how funny it would be if we identified each other based on our Millennium Falcon shirts, but that might have looked a little odd to anyone else in the restaurant ;) <br /><br />Yes, definitely strange to talk about it out loud for the first time but you just went for it and jumped right in and it was easy from there. I'm sorry that I forgot to mention that we both look like supermodels, but I didn't want to make anyone even more jealous than they already are. <br /><br />As for the pic, hmmm... to me it looks like Han just got caught doing something he shouldn't have. Nothing major, just something childish that had him wind up on the ground. I wish I could think of something good but my mind is friend from spending too much time in the car.Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-20724227325301642222011-04-13T09:13:04.193-05:002011-04-13T09:13:04.193-05:00Hey guys! I'm writing this post from inside o...Hey guys! I'm writing this post from inside of Zyra's trunk, but don't worry I have a handkerchief dangling out the tail light and I feel certain someone will call 911 soon! <br /><br />Just kidding. :-)<br /><br />I did tell Zyra that I contemplated dropping off the face of the fanfic earth after she posted this blog so you guys would think that she killed me, but I could only hold to that for so long.<br /><br />I really enjoyed getting to meet Zyra in person, meeting someone from off of the internet is something I have never done before and yes, I was a little nervous that she was going to be a dirty old man, or maybe just a weird person in general. <br /><br />But we're both pretty normal, I guess, for two closet Star Wars fanatics (that happen to look like super models). Too bad neither one of us was wearing one of the many t-shirts we've gotten when we e-mail each other that Target or WalMart has some must have retro tee on a clearance rack for $5! It could've read like in the movies, except instead of having a book with a flower in it we could've been wearing our recently purchased Millennium Falcon t-shirts as we spotted each other across the room...<br /><br />Anyway, I have NEVER talked about my fanfic writing out loud with anyone face-to-face. I mean, my husband knows that I write stories, but he doesn't read them and I don't talk plot and characterizations with him or anything, so, it was really, really weird and cool at the same time to actually talk about this stuff out loud. There was one point where we were discussing one of our stories and I tried to picture the Star Wars galaxy map in my head and figure out where one planet was related to another and at that moment I thought, If ANY of my friends could see me now they would probably have me committed! But Zyra completely understood. :-)<br /><br />So, now that Zyra and I are back to being a time zone away, I personnally am glad that we snatched the opportunity to meet while we had it, because it may never happen again and it was really, really cool that it did.<br /><br />So, lastly, a caption? I hate to disappoint, but nothing jumps out at me for this photo. For a moment I entertained something about Leia walking in on Han and Chewie in a compromising position...what with Chewie's legs in the background and Han's face looking a little guilty, but then that just grossed me out. So, I got nothing. But I agree, that Leia has the crazy eyes...<br /><br />Later gators...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-19488279854980419992011-04-12T20:03:56.340-05:002011-04-12T20:03:56.340-05:00Well, so far you've only heard from one of us,...Well, so far you've only heard from one of us, so I guess as of right now it is entirely possible that Push is now a bloody corpse in the trunk of my car...<br /><br />Well, since we already knew the other one would understand, it's not so hard to say it out loud. Although honestly it is a bit weird at first to talk about Star Wars with another grown woman for the first time I think ever. I probably talked about it with school friends, but certainly not to this degree! It would've really sucked if I had decided after I didn't like her. It'd be hard to stop e-mailing now.Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-79111669544152819552011-04-12T12:40:46.834-05:002011-04-12T12:40:46.834-05:00Wow!

But congrats on making it out unscathed. <br /><br />No witty captions here either. But why does Leia have that crazy look in her eye?JarikSolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392235112650407700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-16703965418563020552011-04-12T12:36:28.537-05:002011-04-12T12:36:28.537-05:00Well that's cool you guys got a chance to meet...Well that's cool you guys got a chance to meet up, and that neither one of you murdered each other. I can't imagine having an out loud Han and Leia conversation.<br /><br />And I've got that picture as my current desktop...no brilliant captions here though.Elivagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444154877873416316noreply@blogger.com
