Welcome to My World...

What to know about me:

My name is Andrea - obviously - and forever single and that's about it when it comes to the personal stuff.

Random Facts:

I'm an insane fangirl. Yes I said insane. Ok, more like obsessive. I have three cats, I live alone because it's better that way (depression can make you not a fun person to be around) I am claustrophobic when it comes to tight spaces and crowds, I'm allergic to pineapples and I'm double jointed.

Random Update: August 1, 2008

SEE THIS MOVIE! Back in 1998 I was really sick, bedridden, and there was little that made me excited but before I got sick I had seen Fight The Future the first feature film from the X Files franchise. The chemistry between Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny was in a word, magical. It was a show that didn't force the love between it's two main characters, you could see it in their eyes, in their actions "sure, fine, whatever" and you could feel the way their hearts leapt for one another. As much as I will forever love Lois & Clark and cherish the four years of happiness it brought me, because of studio executives they forced the couple into marriage as a way to keep the show pure, sadly that lost many viewers. Not me of course, but many, and the show ended with a cliffhanger in 1997. A  lot of fans, and writers, then moved on to The X Files, but I already watched the show so it wasn't like I was discovering anything new. Then Fight the Future came out and my like for the series turned into love. My love continued until the last episode, even with the addition of two people who didn't have the chemistry of the original stars. When I heard there would be another movie, ten years after the first and six years after the show ended I became excited...then I saw the movie

and felt like I had regained that happiness Fight the Future gave me, but so much more. There was something there..something I can't put my finger on, but after seeing this movie I rushed out and bought all nine seasons on DVD. I had them all on tape, even the collectible ones released when FTF came out. But DVDs are just special in their own way and since July 26, 2008 I have been on a high that I hope I never fall from.

Lois & Clark will always be special to me. I've met the stars who were sweet and nice and beyond adorable, but my recent disdain for Desperate Housewives has made it hard for me to even look at a woman I put on a pedestal every day of my life. The show is contrived and has become a soap opera, and I cannot stand soap operas. My recent irritancies over the series, Desperate Housewives, has made it hard to enjoy Lois & Clark, so I needed a refresher course in a franchise that has also been special and has also helped me through some tough times.

For the last week I have been...happy. And coming from a girl who battles the demons of depression every day, that's saying something and this movie did it for me. It's not everything I wanted it to be, but it was enough to bring the series back into my heart, where it will remain for the rest of my life.

Sadly, the box office numbers aren't what I wish they were. Some say the series is past it's expiration date, others feel the actors and I guess characters are now, too old. To me, the original characters of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, created by Chris Carter, are forever timeless and my hope is that they live on for many more movies to come.

To me, Mulder and Scully encompass the perfect relationship, one I have wished for my entire life. If I can't live it in my own life, I'd like to continue to live it through Hollywood.

I may not have a website dedicated to the series, nor to the stars. I may not have made over 100 fanvids to it, but it's special. Special in a way I can't really explain other than to say it saved me from myself...at least for a little while. I want to believe this feeling will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Thank you

Andrea

A dream is an answer to a question we haven't yet figured out how to ask

As you can see I don't really like talking about myself. I've had too many bad things happen in my life that remembering them just sends me into a black hole. I've suffered from depression most of my life, so I like to immerse myself in others lives. My hobbies, beyond fan sites, are reading, writing and drawing as well.
