Tonight's the night. I'm going to lose my Star Wars Virginity.
That's right, I've never seen Star Wars. I, who lived on the internet in Middle School and still spend a sizeable amount of time in the geek-o-sphere, have never seen what amounts to one of its most sacred pillars.
I never planned not to see Star Wars. I mean, it didn't appeal to me as much as Lord of the Rings, but I never made a promise not to see it or anything like that. It simply... never happened. It's become so weird it's that it's become a part of my identity, a conversational asset. People I've been friends with for years have freaked out multiple times when it's come up (they keep mentally blocking it out, I guess it's just that hard to believe.)
And I'll miss my little joke about it: "No, I haven't seen Star Wars, but I know all about it, just like scientists know about Black Holes" - I've seen the way everything reacts to it, the void has a clear outline, but is a void nonetheless. Until tonight. O.O
