I wonder... I like to wear my Trooper gear so very much. As soon as I put it on I am someone else... and someone that everyone recognizes and has a love hate relationship with. So does this mean I want to be someone else, even for a short amount of time? or am I looking for attention, love or hate? or do I really do it for the joy it brings to others. I keep trying to justify it that way, but it does not always hold water. I think I do it for me I mean I love Star Wars... the first time I donned the gear I got a euphoric charge better than any drug... and I was alone. The first time I went into public in gear was the parade in Dallas(see post in Dec 06) when we came out people rushed us like rock stars. It was as scary as it was fun. Since that time I've put the gear on for me and for charity. Lately I've been wanting more. I am puting together my Renaissance persona right now and i have to admit I am pretty psyched up about it. In addition to that I want a Vader, Sandtrooper, Master Chief and Predator costume as well. Troubling this all is...or exhilaratingly.
