when everything else seems unclear
Aug. 9th, 2012 12:07 pmHey guys, I'm still not dead! Blargh. It has been kind of a weird summer, honestly ... great when there's been swimming and watching random 90s anime with local friends and stretching editorial muscles; not so great when I've been fighting my brain and my words too hard. Classes start a month from tomorrow, and I'm definitely not in a rush but I'm looking forward to it.
Also? As you can see by the icon (on DW, anyway), yeah, Teen Wolf has happened. I'm delighted to find half the internet succumbing with me, since I totally just started watching it over the phone with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
chaiminda as a bff bonding exercise ... and I'm seriously amused by all the talk of fannish plagues and the like. People are surprised by this one, really? IDK, guys. As I said on twitter a few days ago, Teen Wolf takes me right back to the days of Buffy and Smallville (which incidentally were my first big fannish-inclusion years, so there's a heavy nostalgia factor) ... except it's all the same show (not as good as Buffy but not nearly as bad as Smallville, particularly in its second season). Although I'll grant, it does seem to sneak up on you. One minute I'm spending all my phone call viewing hours rolling my eyes and mocking Scott's stupid face (and lamenting how much I do not care about lacrosse, sigh), and the next I LOVE EVERYONE and am on the edge of my seat in terror for them (but I still don't give a damn about lacrosse, so that's reassuring anyway).
( Brief ramble about the State of Me in Fandom or something like that. )
So yeah, anyway. :) I have all kinds of specific thoughts and feelings that I don't have time to share right now, naturally, and maybe I'll actually write up a response to the finale next week! (Augh.) I don't remember the last time I did that; I miss TV fandoms. This is all so much fun!
