Star Wars pillowcase is on the wall. Where it belongs.

Squee!

Having a good day. How about you?

Too subtle or not subtle enough?

The actual physical joy I felt from watching that and hearing his voice and seeing his spark, still undiminished by time.

Yeah, this one really hurts. I also had an amazing crush on him, even if I didn't understand it at the time.

Grieving is different for everyone so I won't pretend to know what will work for you so just do whatever feels right and believe that eventually it will hurt in a different and more manageable way.

Don't force it. There is no right or wrong way to go through what you are going through right now. When my dad passed away, I tried to rationalize how I should react and what I should do and it turns out that what I needed to do was sit on my ass and watch Netflix for a week and then I felt better.

You are simply delightful to watch.

That's such a wonderful picture! I'm so sorry for your loss!

Thank you! Betcha like what I got the other day, too!

Proof that 28 antique malls within easy driving distance can turn a hobby into a lifestyle.

I'd buy three. One to show. One to preserve. And one to give to a loved one.

Let's be honest… Death star destroyer sounds amazing.

I have to take into consideration that I have space issues so I can't go too crazy but the Cantina playset and the land speeder where my big gets. The only thing that's left is the Death Star boxed. There's a place nearby that has one for $550 but that's a little bit more than I want to pay.

Thank you! The Landspeeder is probably my favorite because I found it in a ratty little antique mall for $50. What is your favorite part of your SW collection? And do you have a Holy Grail, something you want very badly and haven't found yet?

I'm jealous! Like so many other children of that era, mine were lost in the mists of time. So, I am also gradually rebuilding but trying to focus on reasonably priced/condition which is a challenge. But it's getting there. And since you showed yours, I have to show you mine.

It's gorgeous! I've been on a hunt to collect SW stuff from just the first two movies (when I was at peak child nerd) and it evokes emotions for me.

Is this from your personal collection?

Nope. I took it the right way.

Flirt.

Oh I've heard or used that several times.

I keep waiting for the right moment in life to use that in conversation but it has yet to occur.

Please tell me everyone joined in during…'I underestimated his intelligence, but he underestimated the power of organic crystallography.'

So incredibly jealous that you got to go to that.

Bless you. You've made my day :-)

Definitely not one of the worst problems to have!

Gasp! But...but...

I have so many extras just sitting in my storage unit. If you can't find anything let me know and I'll see what I have and send you some.

Wait. You don't already have them all???

Let me know which one you end up deciding to read. It's been a while since I've read any of these as well and maybe it would be fun to follow along.

Available as ebooks. I used to have the softcover versions but they fell apart because I read them so much.
