YAY!!! I received official ranger confirmation that the Outlander series qualifies for regular campfires around these parts (thank you grown.ass.woman!), thanks to the time travel/paranormal aspect. There are certainly other places online to discuss the series, but none as cool as the Forest!
Anyway .... I've discovered that, thanks to these books, I'm watching/noticing/listening to things I never normally would have, or at least not with such intensity. For instance, I've been devouring movies with a Scottish theme (as the books are initially set in Scotland and our hero is a Scot), such as this (and this mainly for the accent, but it's a great movie)...
And it also seems that I'm noticing redheads EVERYWHERE! Have I been sadly oblivious to our ginger friends, or are there more of them now? Anyway, I catch myself at the point of rudely staring, trying to figure out just what shade of red was Jamie Fraser's hair anyway???
Dear Lord, please not like this....(and secretly, with Claire having all that curly hair and Jamie being a redhead, can't you see their son being ... NO, never mind, I refuse to go there!!)
Do you, fellow camper, find yourselves doing something similar? Do certain movies, places, or songs take on a new, specific meaning for you since you've fallen in love with Twilight, Outlander, Buffy (insert your own obsession here)? If yes, come share them with us!
**(Also, I hope our friends, family, and fellow campers on the East Coast are safe as can be despite the inevitability of Hurricane Irene. I was lucky enough to escape all but Andrew while I lived there. I hope your homes, family, and everything you hold dear rides through the storm safely. HOWEVER -- God, my ex-husband still lives there. If you should see fit to take his roof or his motorcycle, you know --- something nonfatal --- you KNOW he deserves it. Just sayin'. )
