So, there has been some talk on the Numb3rs part of my flist about fandom in general, how it works and how it impacts us (or how it should impact us).
(Links if anyone is interested)

I'm not really going to talk about it right now but I'm curious. It was mentioned in munchkinofdoom's post that fandom can be split into two groups, those who think fandom is a way of life, and those who think it's just a hobby. Out of curiosity, where does my flist sit on that idea?

I see it as something of a spectrum. For me, it is a way of life, but there are some people for whom it is so much *more* than just a way of life. Those are the ones that I find kinda creepy. But those are also the ones who call their friends at horrifying hours and roleplay yaoi (slash anime) seduction scenes to each other for *hours* at a time and don't let their roommates get a wink of sleep. *grumble*

I guess it just depends how much of your time you're willing to put into it and how worried you are of your fandom time becoming part of your serious time.

Oh god, has that happened to you?

Also, randomly. I don't think we're having any luck meeting up for our SG-1 talk, I can never seem to get both of you online at that same time. I think I'm just going to do a write up and either post it here, or email it to you guys before we all forget what the eps were about :P
Then maybe next week we can get back on schedule with the next two eps. That ok with you?

That was my last roommate...the one who finally convinced me that I'll never room with anyone again unless we're super compatible or unless it's with someone I'm sleeping with. And then the moving in part will only officially happen once we're *really* sure we're in it for the long haul.

That'll probably actually work better. I realized that I have class Thursday nights for the rest of July and completely forgot to tell y'all (cause I forgot myself). Although I hope we'll be able to get online every now and then just for the weirdness. Cause that was pretty fun.
