You know you're too involved in fan fiction when...

Yesterday The Lost Boys was on the Scifi Channel, and one of the first things that popped into my head was 'oh, you could so write a slash story about David and Michael'.

I loved that movie when it came out, and I'm not usually one for the scary. But there was enough humour in the thing to make the icky bits bearable. And the icky bits were relatively few and far between. The movie tagline was 'Sleep all day, party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire.' I had the poster in my dorm room. I also had the soundtrack album. It was rockin'.

I need to get it on DVD so I can watch it again without things bleeped out and stuff. It was amusing how dated the hair styles were. 1987 and big hair and mullets were all the rage, even for vampires.

Now Jamie Gertz, who was the Mysterious Girl, plays a mother on a mediocre sitcom. The guy who played Max is now Rory Gilmore's granddad, and David, the uber cool vampire now plays a CIA agent. Marco, one of the vampires went on to be Bill S. Preston Esquire, and then faded from sight. Jason Patrick - he did a few things, including the Speed 2 thing, but that's it, I think.

There must be Lost Boy icons somewhere. *wanders off to look*

I never saw Arachnaphobia because...well because it was all about spiders. I kept wincing through the beginning of Spiderman because of the spiders - no way would I have been able to sit through a movie that had them everywhere.

I liked Lost Boys because it was scary yet really amusing.

Spiders are evil. They are evil aliens who are bent on taking over the world. Every time I see one, I know it wants to chew my arm off.

*shudders*

I hate spiders.

Once when my husband wasn't home, Charlie called me in his room all excited because there was a spider on his ceiling. It was frickin' huge, this spider.

Well, I can't get close enough to spiders to kill even when they aren't on the cieling them because I know they will leap at me saying "Bwahahahahaha, I've got you now!" so I couldn't smush it, and I didn't want to pass along my phobia to Charlie who currently is pretty phobia free, (except for styrofoam. Don't ask) so I tried to stay cheerful.

"Oh, look at that. A spider. Do you like the spider?"

"Yes."

"Does he have a name?"

"Grib Grab"

You can't kill a spider called Grib Grab. For all I know he's still lurking in the corners of Charlie's room

You know, Charlie is quite brave. In his innocence, he is oblivious to the fact that spiders are evil.

For the record, hairspray is a fantastic thing to use on spiders. *gazes at can of hairspray fondly*

Yes. It's fanfrothingtastic.
