Christine Hoxmeier can usually be found hard at work in her beloved home of Austin with a cup of coffee in one hand and a taco in the other. She spends her free time reading, writing, and dreaming of a teleportation device so she can visit her friends spread across the globe on a daily basis. If it were possible to live inside one Disneyland attraction for the rest of her life, Christine would cheat and choose to split her time between It's A Small World and The Enchanted Tiki Room. She prefers to communicate in CAPSLOCK and with gifs. Twitter: @aramblingfancy

*looks up from notebook* Oh, hi, I didn’t notice you there. Hmmm? Oh, I’m just thinking of some Star Wars puns. Not a big deal (*whispers* just like Finn). What’s that? I mean, yeah, I guess you could say I’m excited for Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Although I think it’s more like what Rey was feeling when she went to find Luke on Ahch-To: a mix of nervousness and hope.

*stares off into the distance*

Anyway, yeah! I’m excited. But there is still *checks planner* 77 days until December 20. OHMYGOSH 77 DAYS! The original Star Wars came out on May 25, 1977, and now we only have 77 days until the Skywalker saga is over. *wipes away a tear* Yeah, I’m fine, it’s just…a lot, y’know? It seems so close and also like a galaxy far, far away. What? Oh, yeah! You can totally read what I’ve got so far. I can work on finishing my Poe Dameron fanfic instead.
