I'm messing around with my new slash-site-to-be at the moment. That explains my (usual) absent from LJ.. (or not? I have a feeling that I open my Semagic even more than usual these days

The majority of English-speaking fans nowadays are.... erm.. How should I put it? They're not bad, but I don't feel like I want to 'get into' their interaction?

Maybe it's really about the age. *le sigh*

Oh yeah, and thanks for the comment about LSEP! hee hee..

You know what? It's random comment like this that makes me wanna continue the site, for sheer self-assertion..

I feel the same way about a lot of the bands I used to love, or anime in general. But I think that being a 'fan' of something doesn't necessarily mean you have to obsess about it all the time...with the advent of the internet and easy access to online sources/mp3s/fansites, a lot of people have taken fandom to new (sometimes scary) levels.

But honestly, if you like LS and their music, then you're a fan.

I really don't see any other interpretation of it. So don't worry about what other people think, or that you're not a 'good enough' fan. As long as you still love their music, I think that's more than enough ^_^

Thank you! But my point is not what other ppl think. It's what 'me' think... ^^;

It's weird, tho. The way I feel about LS it's almost 'too personal'. It's almost like they're my friends, whom I know personally, and therefore it feels like I'm letting go of a friend, or even a lover.

yeah, I know, it's quite pathetic. *le sigh*
