...the moon is up and we're all prepared.
-"Bat Boy: The Musical"

Well, here we go again. Never mind that all of my other attempts at LJ and any other form of diary-keeping have vanished into slacker wasteland. Now that I'm older and wiser, I will use my newfound focus and dedication to proactively seek out active fan communities, forge connections, ( Read more... )

I, for one, am scared of that musical. anonymous March 18 2007, 21:39:57 UTC

Mrf. Cold war? Me? It wasn't about that, actually, it was about me being unable to drag myself away from the Internet, and, well...you told me not to watch stuff just because I thought you wanted me to. Which generally rules out watching anything. I am addicted to the Internet. It's not good, really. When it comes to folding down that monitor, feelings of obligation can be a good thing ( ... )

Fanatical villain fans with "moral objections": If they're actually objecting simply because they're villain fans, it's silly. If they're objecting on the grounds of an unbalanced portrayal--saying that JKR's world is simplified/morally black-and-white, that it's unrealistic to have *all* the Slytherins be nasty little weasels--that's a valid point ( ... )

Ah, see...I think that's the question with fanatical villain fans. Chicken or egg? Are they complex people who feel drawn to complex characters, or are they trying to rationalize their favorite character choices with all this complicated moral stuff? What has it all got to do with the fans' personalities? It's a cliche that HP Slytherin identifiers compare Gryffindors to the real people who bullied them in high school, but...it's true that many, many heroes are impulsive, active, hotheaded types, and many fans are thoughtful, reserved geeksters. If the typical dedicated fan is so different from the typical hero, it's no wonder that Issues sometimes arise in fandoms. As another example from one of your fandoms, those guys writing the Buffy guide got uncomfortable when the writers started portraying nerds as bad. They felt like this was an insult to the fandom ( ... )

I pretty much just watch Lost for Sawyer and Skate, too. Not too much of it anymore, but when it's there, damn, it's hot.

By the way, did I ever mention I watched a couple episodes of Buffy? Still no Veronica Mars, though.

I want you, too, ma cherie. (Or is it mon cher, or something completely different? No se... no hablo frances. Y el F no es bueno en esta computadora... me molesta.)

PS- Bat Boy is amazing. I had a mini-obsession with it for a while last November.

I had a reading with Dr. Kpelede on net because I was having problems with my marriage. Initially, I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect from him. Immediately, Dr. Kpelede told me that the reason I was having problems in my marriage is because my husband was cheating with another woman. I suspected for months that my husband had been cheating but I couldn’t pinpoint for sure. I have decided to allow Dr. Kpelede to do some spellwork for me and it turned out to be the result I was expecting, my husband is now back to me and he promise he will never hurt me again. If you need Dr. Kpelede help just contact him on his email via: kpeledesolutiontemple@gmail.com.
