[fandom and life] Roseanne and Sarah

[escritoireazul]

I have this love of the show Roseanne. I grew up watching it, and still love it to this day, though there are some episodes which hit way too close to home. (We used to say one of my sisters was just like Roseanne.) (Friday Night Lights has similar moments, which makes me wonder if part of why I love things is because they hurt so good.) I was a little in love with Darlene.

Tonight I watched the episodes where they go to Disney World, and it hurts so good in a much different way than normal. I had never done Disney until 2005, when I met thestalkycop for the first time in person in Florida. We had such a good time during those two weeks, and just the words Orlando or Disney World or Florida make me happy and sad at the same time.

I'd like to go back, someday. Hit more of the theme parks, see more of Florida. Go back to that awesome movie theater with the stars and planets decorations, where we saw Cry_Wolf and Serenity. Spend hours doing flips in a pool.

I used to love Roseanne. You know that Joss Whedon used to write for the show, right?

I have the same reaction when I think about Disney. We went before my Dad had some surgery, and we didn't know if he was going to make it - we saved and saved for the trip (we're poor, heh), so we'd have some happy memories just in case. It was the last great vacation we had. Luckily, Dad made it through OK, and we had him for a few more years. Thinking of Disney brings good memories, but makes me sad cause I miss him so much.

I want to get back someday, though. I loved it!

I think a crush on Darlene was a Gen X, early Gen Y, queer girl rite of passage. I was totally in love with her.

I always loved watching the Halloween episodes. They were always fun.

Yay Orlando! Of course I do live there, so I'm biased.

I liked Roseanne too, except that it got stupid after they won the lottery. I'm crazy into Scrubs right now, and I didn't even realize that the girl who plays Elliot (Sarah Chalke) was one of the Beckys on Roseanne. And then she was asked in an interview if she had any nicknames and she said "Chalkie and 2nd Beckie" and I was like "OH! Becky!"
