S-A-T-U-R-DAY

Sorry, had a Bay City Rollers moment.

Oh my, I was the fangirl even then. 16 and Tiger Beat.
Ian was so dreamy...

I'm on the LAN! I have cable modem!
::Happy Dance of Connectivity::


I have to move the laundry and go shopping.
I hate Saturday shopping.

Then cleaning.
Lots of cleaning. Everyone is going to get to draw jobs and do them while I do the rest.

Percolating a S/Mc for Valentine's.
Just a short one, which includes too many pink baloons on the Entrprise, a confused Spock, a wolfskin whip and "I suggest you run, doctor."
Gonna be fun and sexy and kinky too.


Must also make some TV time, and some crosstitch time.
Got 2 blue granny squares done last night. Really need to finish my Christmas squares.


Also, having strange thoughts for a SW gen fic. (It could go het or slash, but right now it's gen)

Do they have psychoanalysts in the Empire?
Do they have talk-shows and reality shows?
Would a panel of experts be convened to discuss Luke Skywalker's apparent mental illness?

Could the New Republic use "Is Luke Skywalker paranoid schizophrenic?" to discredit the whole Jedi order?

Before you get up in arms, hear me out.

For the better part of a month or more, he suffers from delusions (grandiose stye: chosen because of special abilities only he possesses) and hallucinations (he hears Ben Kenobi's voice)

He continues this for at least 6 months, thus meeting the baseline level of schizophrenia, and is preoccupied with his delusions and hallucinations.

There is no evidence of disorganized speech, disorganized behavior, flat
affect or catatonia.

He does not meet the delusional disorder because of the bizarre nature of
his hallucinations (sees dead people and follows their instructions).

(the criteria are all from the DSM-IV)

Also, his adolescent animal cruelty (all mass murders start with animal abuse) of "I used to bulls-eye womp-rats" would be brought in.

His lack of remorse at the deaths of 2 million people, accepting rewards and status for this deed would be used as exidence of his antisocial nature.

The delusion that Darth Vader is his father (grandiose) and the Princess is his sister (more grandiose with a touch of sexual avoidance/incestuous attraction) could be attributed to the traumas of war and his orphaned childhood.


Another plot bunny I haven't time to write.

"Masquerades?" I don't remember reading that. Where would i find it?

The accusations were meant to be serious. I can see the New Republic, afraid of his growing power, using maneuvering like this (and making sure he's in a force-suppressant area for his testimony).
Maybe for a zine next year. I think it could go slash.

The humor story would be the various future historians arguing the existance of Luke, whether he's a heroic archetype, a composite, or a real person.

Oops :)

Sorry I took it as humorous when it wasn't meant that way. Maybe it was just my mood, also the fact that I think it could be written either way. I *very* much like the idea of it as a darker, more serious thing (though couldn't Luke demand a DNA test to prove Leia really is his sister? though of course there are ways his political enemies could deal with that). In fact, this whole concept sounds so fascinating, now I'm truly intrigued and I wish "Masquerades" and whatever-your-story-will-be-called were available to read right this minute. Everybody needs to write faster. *BG*
