Me? A Mary Sue?

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Wednesday, December 3, 2008


Another crappy night, but this one with a twist: After the usual tossing and turning I had a dream that I was on the crew of the USS Enterprise. (I was reading an interview with Shatner re: Boston Legal in TV Guide earlier in the evening.) We took the shuttle down to pick up a passenger and when he walked on board I just knew I'd seen him before and he was a bad guy. No one would listen. Kirk finally figured it out (just in time to avert disaster, of course) and I not-so-gently reminded him that if he'd listed to me none of this would have happened.

Yes, I was a Mary Sue! The crew was not amused, and Dr. McCoy fitted me with an EVA helmet - with no oxygen. A fitting punishment for Mary Sue, but I woke up gasping for air and having a panic attack.

What did I do to deserve that?
