Totally Random Animorphs Thoughts

kinda agreeing with chad... but then, i never understood marco's strain of ego.

D: i think it's more male-oriented. i don't get it.

Here's something really random for you, though Myitt knows about it. Ever since people started muttering about how cool it would be to have an Animorphs movie, I started recalling this bizarre fantasy I had as a child.

It was basically the back of the first book spoken as a movie trailer, complete with the "In a world..." guy's voice and random trailer scenes. When the cover says something like, "Strange things happen to people. Just ask Jake" it shows him staring up at a landing Andalite spacecraft. And when it says "greatest evil the world has ever seen" the music is building and you see Visser Three stepping gracefully out of the ship. (For some reason. Evil is always dignified in my head, even though Visser Three wasn't.)

And then that Johnny Quest music from the 90's show's opening starts playing. .....hey, it was my frame of reference when I was eight! XD I'm so screwed up. ; )

Sweet. I wonder how the series would've shaped up if Tobias was completely eliminated...

I was at the store and saw Cinnabon cereal bars. It made me smile

saw post 54 Cassie while hiking in the mountains last weekend. with hot new boyfriend in tow. i was really, really tempted to make conversation, but i stopped myself before i revealed just how nerdy (and potentially psychotic) i am.

I scored a hardcover version of Visser in perfect condition at a thrift store Memorial Day sale. The cashier took one look at it and said, "Are you kidding me?" I couldn't tell if she was a fan, or thought I was stupid. Hmmmm.

I got the same look from the guy at Half Price Books a few weeks ago. I was too excited to be taking home a new Visser, Hork-Bajir Chronicles, two copies of #1, and one copy of #10 to care, though!

I bought hella Animorphs books at a used bookstore the other day (probably like half their stock), and the cashier looks at my huge stack and says "ooookay..."

I guess this kind of thing happens a lot.  xD

I've never had a Cinnabon.  I didn't even know they were real until a couple of years ago.  Same with Krispy Kreme.  They were mentioned a couple of times in a cheesy YA SF book series (not animorphs) and I thought the name was so ridiculous that it couldn't possibly be real.  That is, until one opened an hour away and I realized they've been around forever...  I've never had those either.

I just looked them up.  They are both a couple of hours away.

I think I saw Rachel yesterday.

I was volunteering at my local library, signing up kids for a summer reading program. A mom brought in a couple of kids, got the necessary paperwork, then told one of her kids "Rachel, you can fill out your own form." Yep, this Rachel was blond & pretty tall... 
I nearly said "Hi", but it occurred to me that #1 Rachel never really liked boys, and #2 with both a grizzly morph and an African elephant morph, she could kill me in around 17 different ways in 30 seconds. I decided to keep my mouth shut.

D: funny thing~ i know i saw a rachel lookalike around the same time. D:< NEAR A LIBRARY. (more like, 5 min from, but anyway...)

anyhoo~ mine was the "right" height/weight/coloring- except older. wearing slim jeans and a tucked-in, slightly oversized tshirt. like she'd just stepped out of the fashionable mid 90's. D:

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Yay awesome ^_^ Now I need to go out and meet all the Animorphs...

[Stephquiem]

You know what's annoying? I got my friend to read the first two books, and last time she was over we were talking about them. One of her other friends (who needs to join RAF, btw, because she sounds awesome.  ) already ruined the beginning of #54 for her, so I'm trying very hard not to spoil things.

Do you know how hard that is to do? Because I wanted to talk about Tom. D: And I couldn't figure out how to bring it up without her getting suspicious. And she keeps asking questions that I can't answer. -_-

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Yeah, but starting a series this late, she's got to expect a certain amount of spoiling... though, yeah, hopefully not too much.

[Stephquiem]

Well, she doesn't really hang around people who read the books (besides me and Spoiler McSpoily Pants over there -_-) so she's fairly safe. It's not so much that she's adamant about not having things spoiled (I mean, besides really big things) it's just... I want to relive the experience of reading the books for the first time! XD I've been amazingly tight-lipped about Elfangor, for instance.

But yeah. -_- I said "So... what do you think about Tom?" and there was a pause where you can bet she was thinking "Oh, crap. What happens?"
