Have I mentioned how I love my mom?

[cinaed]

*grins* I should mention it more often. See, she's a very devout Baptist, and yet she still manages to confuse and amuse me by being sarcastic and not very Christian-y.

As in, Friday, when she mentioned she'd watched Rent, I did a mental, "Oh shit" and prepared for a rant. Instead she was all, "Collins was my favorite. He was so adorable! The movie made me cry." And then we had a discussion about Mark and whether he was the unluckiest or luckiest of the group at the end.

Then, on Saturday, I wake up and wander out to the family room, where Mom is watching Not Another Teen Movie. ...Yeah. So we watched it together, and can I just say how it's sad I recognized every single one of the movies they were parodying? It doesnt help that I'd just watched Never Been Kissed Friday night. And then I saw that Fox was showing "Conversion" and "Aurora" and started bouncing around the room because "Aurora" was the next episode I needed to see of S2. And so Mom sat down and watched it with me, and we ended up having a discussion on Caldwell and Sheppard's different leadership styles. Found out that my mom dated a lot of military men when she was in college, lol. *snickers* I was a bit saddened by the fact that Zelenka wasn't in either episode, so I couldn't show her my favorite character, but she was amused by McKay and Sheppard, so....

She ended up really liking the show, which surprised me until Sunday rolled around. I'd stayed up 'til 4 watching a Star Trek marathon. As in now I finally understand all the Kirk/Spock jokes. *grins* But Mom wanted to know why I was dead, and when I told her I was watching Star Trek, she brightened and was all, "Oh, Star Trek! With Spock and Kirk and Chekov and Uruha and McCoy and...." And rattled off every single character's name as I stared at her, and then was all, "Oh, come on, sweetheart, I was in college when we had weekend parties watching that show." *grins* So my mom was a Trekkie.

Of course, then we watched David Hewlett's Nothing and she thinks I have the worst taste in movies ever. *laughs* I was amused by it anyway. Though it was definitely, decidedly crack.

I love "Aurora" and "Conversion" hell I just love SGA.

And "Nothing" it was good, but there are a few of David's movies I like a little more..actually they will probably be showing one of his soon, it's a holiday one, he has a smaller role, but it's hilarious..he plays a mean Santa..that's all I'm sayin'.

*smile*

*grins* DH as a mean Santa? I so want to see that. *laughs*

I didn't get into SGA until recently, so I'm behind on most of the episodes. Luckily, Fox and CW5 here have been playing the second season through, so I'm slowly, slowly catching up. SGA's just an awesome show.

Friend of mine is a pretty dedicated Southern Baptist. You should see her porn collection, and she likes collecting 'little naked people' as she calls them. She's got a lamp that has something that was probably supposed to be Rodin's The Lovers as its base, etc.

She sees religion as being freeing. I have to respect that.

It's just surprising because after we kicked my father out, my mother got very, very devout, as in she started ranting about the "gay agenda" and whatnot. That went on for about a year, but over the summer she started calming down and while she still goes to church and reads the Bible, she likes to surprise me by talking about her liberal youth. *grins*

I'm not sure how she justifies enjoying Rent to herself but hey, I don't really care. It's fun chatting with her. *grins* I just can't believe she was a Trekkie.
