I should go to bed, but I need to stop giggling at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brooklinegirl's most recent post first. It's a list of Things She Knows About Bandom. (She isn't in bandom.)
Not to revisit three-month-old melodrama, but once upon a time? I was not into bandom. There was, in fact, a period of over a year when I was very very vehemently NOT INTO BANDOM, OKAY? Meanwhile,sweetvalleyslut very emphatically was. She is my best friend, and we have been doing fandom together since we were in our mid-teens; it was pretty much the first time that we differed so strongly. (Oh sure, we've both had fandoms on the side that we didn't share--I don't like The Sentinel, she was never very involved in Kim Possible or Eroica--but our fannish focus was always pretty mutual, before.)
So you know, she tried very valiantly not to talk about it CONSTANTLY. She failed, of course, and I sat through hours and hours of babble and even quasi-discussion on the topic. (Many of my own good friends are getting to know this experience, I know . . . I'm sorry! I understand, I just can't help it. Etc. I have not made any of you look at pictures or videos yet, at least.)
Then, of course, I rather abruptly went and took my unceremonious plunge into total bandom immersion . . . and spent the next month asking her a whole lot of random questions about canon and characters. Kath was very confused by these, because after all, she had told me everything about this stuff, but . . . well, it was kind of like a game of Telephone. When she was telling me things and I wasn't invested in them, there was a lot that I didn't hear, or remembered kind of off.
I don't really have a point, here, except that I pretty much love fandom. ♥ (Most of the time.) And I love my friends for being tolerant of my insanity (as I in turn have been tolerant of others' insanity, because fangirls are hilarious, amen).
Where is my DVD? D: I want to waaaatch it already. I keep sitting around twitching and wishing I'd bought the deluxe edition, even though I TOTALLY DON'T NEED A DEATHMASK, OKAY. They're awesome, but wtf would I do with that? Or a pine box shaped like a coffin? But.
