Guess What I Found?!
by M. Lizabeth Currain
Another successful night of packing. I almost have my bookshelf cleared! Three boxes and one suitcase full of books and dvds; I really need to start utilizing the library. It would making packing much, much easier.
Well tonight I found a couple of gems in one of my many Rubbermaid tubs. It’s kind of insane how many of those things I have. I’m looking to turn them into a desk once I hit my new apartment. If that’s at all possible, now that I’m looking at them, it doesn’t really seem like it would work. We’ll see. I’m sure you’ll be reading about it soon enough!
On to the good stuff. I’m really learning a lot about myself during this packing process. Mainly that I had all these big ideas for craft projects that I never got started on. Also, that I collected a lot of weird stuff. Some of it I’m not even sure where it came from.
The first item from Meaghan’s Magical Mystery Miscellany: Star Trek: The Next Generation Fabric.
- The only thing that would make this better is Commander Riker’s face screen printed on it.
I bought this either my sophomore or junior year of college off of eBay. Basically, this is the best eBay purchase I’ve ever made. Well, it’s a close race between this and an ALF stuffed animal. When I bought this, I think that I was going to make a vest out of it. I say this, because I found a men’s vest pattern the other night. Ugh, seriously. I think I was going to make it for a man friend of mine. He might have previously dumped me and maybe I thought that would be a good way to get him back…a fucking vest. I thought a vest was a good way to get someone to like to me again. Ha! Clearly, I was an idiot. Well, I’m glad that didn’t work out! Because now I have this left over fabric! The possibilities are endless with this. I could make shorts! Curtains! Pillowcases! Placemats! This is exciting!
The second item I found tonight is a book: Ghostwriter: A Match of Wills. YES. THAT GHOSTWRITER. I have to put this video in before I show you this book.
“He’s a ghost and he writes to us. Ghostwriter.” I want to know who is responsible for writing that line. They were obviously underpaid.
- I wonder how much I paid for this.
The best part about this Ghostwriter book, beside Jamal being featured heavily on the cover is this:
- The answer to the previous question: obviously not enough.
It’s signed by two of the actors from the show! Mayteana Morales played Gaby Fernandez and Todd Alexander played Rob Baker. Obviously I got this second hand, which makes me wonder who would give something like this away!? This is something that should be cherished, possibly framed. I’m not even sure where I got this, but boy am I glad that I took it home with me! So that I could forget it about it for years and then suddenly find it and think it is the greatest thing ever…again.
Packing is kind of like Christmas.

OMG, I ❤ Ghostwriter, to this day. It's an unhealthy obsession, really. I wonder if the signatures are real? You know Hector was on Real World, right? And is a big 'ol flaming mo now. I take this as a sign that there is a being out there who loves us.
I love that there are people out there that still remember Ghostwriter! I want to believe they are real, because I can’t imagine anyone caring enough to fake signatures for the actors on that show. Although, that would be pretty hilarious. I only saw a couple episodes of that season of Real World, but I remember only tuning in because I knew my boy Hector was on!
Also: Mayteana Morales was the FIRST Gabby. They changed the actress toward the end, and I like to call that one the broke-ass Gabby.
I wish Casey Austin would squirt the purple slime on Calvin Ferguson which would have been much a much better ending since because of what he did to Alex Fernandez and the Ghostwriter team.
