LJ land is really slow today... yes?

[ht_murray]

I'm officially pathetic. I have nothing worthwhile to post about, but I am in a compulsive posting state of mind.

So, let me ask this. Is anyone else sorta afraid of what they'll do on LJ when Supernatural is done? Because, ya know, I've tried watching other comms and such. I watch equestrian and sf_drama and blah, blah, a few others that are not Supernatural related, but...

Here's what I don't get. I tried watching ohnotheydidnt and I prolly spelled that wrong, so that link probably wont' take you anywhere, lol. And I hear how it's so popular and I get linked there at least once a week. So, I tried to watch it. For a week, I scrolled past every single entry looking for stuff that actually interested me, and not a darned thing interested me AT ALL. How can I not care about anything else but Supernatural?

I mean, I can't pick the Jonas brothers out of a lineup. I don't care about Miley Cyrus or that Hayden Pantiliner chick... I don't know anything about the movies that are coming up or other shows. I'm so out of the loop, it's not even funny. And this from a kid who grew up reading the National Enquirer from one end to the other. My grandma subscribed to it, for chrissakes. When did I lose interest in everything else? Urgh.

Anyone else get the feeling the world had better just end before Supernatural because there will be nothing to do after it's gone? LOL. I feel so pathetic. Do not laugh. I know its sick. *is ashamed*

But... but... if the world ends FIRST then we'll never know what happens to our boooooooooooys!!!!!!! ;D

Honestly, soomit else will come along that holds your interest sufficiently. I first got onto LJ because practically all of my RL mates were on here (and Usenet was all but dead, murdered by the creation of the worldwide web *sniff*). I stumbled into LOTR fandom as a lurker, then stumbled further into Potterverse and participated there in my first ever actual "fandom". Terrifying. :D When I first got into SPN I remember telling my pal irisgirl12000 that I was loath to seek out any SPN comms because I wasn't sure I was ready to fall down another fandom rabbithole. Obviously, I got over that. ;)

We'll follow the boys' careers in other things and we'll stumble from one thing to another. And we'll talk about how much we miss the best show ever made in the entire history of ever. *watery smile*

Thing is, even as people move in and out of various fandoms, the actual connections we make with each other are lasting. I'm talking about the folk we're lucky enough to truly click with, folk we find more in common with than JUST the fact we like the same tv show or have similar ideas about what a fine-lookin' man should look like. ;)

There's a band of friends I made through writing Snarry fics in Potter fandom who have become some of my very closest friends (they started as my fangirls! heeee!), not just online but in RL as well. They're the folks that I found soomit ELSE to talk about. That's what friends are, after all, people you can talk to about any old thing. And there are few things more boring than a conversation which gets no further than

"OMG! CUTE!"
"I concur. VERY cute. So... what else can we talk about?"
