You probably think that Outlander is monopolizing this blog. Truth is, that damn story is monopolizing my life! So many Outlander things are going on right now that I just can’t even! I have too many feels!!! I feel like all I think about, all day long is Outlander, Outlander, Outlander. It might not be a bad thing. That way, I always have my head in my happy place. But sometimes I need to be in touch with real life (like when crossing the street). Or I need to calm down in order not to hyperventilate because I haven’t gotten my hands on my copy of MOBY yet.
But the Outlander peeps aren’t helping. At all. So, let’s do a little group therapy to vent our feels and frustrations.
Hi, I’m Ally. I’m an Outlander addict. Have been one for almost 10 years now. This last couple of days have been really hard for me. First, the Seattle Outlander Retreat over the weekend.
(forward to 1 hour 22 minutes for Diana Gabaldon’s speech)
My problem was that I wasn’t there. I know Diana said almost the exact same speech she always says, but still! I laughed every time she laughs! I wanted to be there! Besides, all those women there got their copy of MOBY earlier. Hate you all. Just so you know. By the way, did you notice that when someone asked her if there was going to be any more drama in the family tree, Diana Gabaldon answered that we should take notice of Jamie’s mother’s middle name??? WTH?!?!?!
Not only that, but this happened also:
Just kill me, why don’t you? This can’t get any more perfect. How could they create the show exactly like I pictured it in my mind???
Then yesterday, June 9th, Starz was kind enough to remind us that
Yeah. As if we aren’t counting the days already. Thank you very much.
And, to top it of, today, June 10th is the release of “Written in my own heart’s blood”. Seriously, my poor heart can’t take all these Outlander shenanigans together. It’s too much!
I need to get that book like right this second! And I don’t know if I’ll take my sweet time reading it, enjoying it or if I’ll just read it in one sitting in less than 24 hours. Have you read “Echo”? Do you know about all those damn cliff-hangers? I honestly don’t know how I managed to survive until now.
But there. It’s torture. But it’s a pleasure none the less. Outlander fans… enjoy! This is our time!
Hi, Ally! You’re among friends, or at least fellow addicts. I’ve been reading these books since about 1993 and still can’t get enough of them or the madness that has surrounded them in the last year.
I hope you have your copy of MOBY by now and have been able to see what Diana was talking about with Jamie’s mother’s middle name, and also noted his grandmother’s name.
Fellow addicts is right. And I’m so enjoying the madness surrounding the books. It’s been so much fun! And I hope this means we’ll get more books (I’m so glad we already know we are getting a 9th one) and many more seasons!!!
I’m sort of in a lock-down. I still haven’t started reading MOBY (to crazy at work), so I don’t wanna read any spoilers!!!
