I Blame Stephen King.


Stephen King has awakened my long dormant, very scary and I thought long gone, inner Fangirl. Stephen King brought back Andrew McCarthy! Eeeeeeee! It has been a long time since I had even thought about The inner Fangirl. She had been gone a long time so long infact, I had replaced her with Been There Done That Girl. I liked that girl. That girl wasn’t given to Eeeeee!ing about anyone.

And now the inner Fangirl is back.

Andrew McCarthy is only on once a week; The Fangirl needs more Andrew McCarthy then that. Fortunately The Fangirl had a VCR back when she first dissovered her Fangirlness and she has old videos on hand to help out with non-Kingdom Hospital days. It’s tough.

The Fangirl re-watched Pretty In Pink over the weekend. Sigh, Blaine! What cute guy. What an obviously not high school aged guy. My God! The Fangirl was so rapturously in lurve back in the day she didn’t remember him looking so old then. James Spader looked old back in the day, like maybe in his twenties, on rewatch over the weekend James Spader looked about 35.

The Fangirl also watched a portion of St. Elmo’s Fire letter boxed on DVD. The Been There Done That Girl can’t really imagine a movie like SEF really deserving letterbox format. It makes it look all serious and real. It was hardly, on 234th watch, worth being on a big screen in the first place. But golly, Rthe inner Fangirl thinks that Andrew McCarthy was cute. And Judd Nelson, thanks to The Breakfast Club Another Fangirl Fav. I think back in the day I actually preferred Nelson to McCarthy. Nelson was more Bad and thus more interesting. McCarthy was the nice boy you dumped for Nelson and then went back to, and who took you back! , after Nelson was Bad.

Since I don’t have a home computer for the time being, Sigh. I am unable to really keep the Fangirl happy. The Fangirl want to do searches for articles and features and pictures of her crush. The Fangirl did not watch the 20/20 thing because The Been There Done That girl thought it seemed too weird for Andrew McCarthy to rate a whole interview there. He admitted, the Fangirl learned on a forum, to being an alcoholic and to now being a nondrinker. The Fangirl knew this a long time ago because she read an interview with Molly Ringwald where she bitched about AM having to get loaded before a love scene. The Fangirl had worried about McCarthy while she was in Been There Done That Girls shadow.

The Fangirl also wants to buy more of McCarthys old movies. The Fangirl thinks that money grows on trees. The Fangirl forced me to do a search for McCarthy movies online. There are a lot of them. Some of them were even released in this country. Some of them the Fangirl had never heard of, some of them the Fangirl wished she hadn’t heard about in the first place, Mannequin 2

The Fangirl also found yahoo groups that allow her and other aging fangirls to eeeeee! To their little thirty something’s hearts content. The Fangirl is a little pathetic. But she feels less pathetic with other Fangirls to eeeee! with.
