LJ land is really slow today... yes?

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*

I was thinking about this just the other day (okay, so maybe I think about it more than that but...) and I figure if the fandom burns out once SPN is over I'll be okay with it, but I doubt I'll get involved in any other fandom. I've never really loved a show the way I love SPN, I watch other things on TV but it's more a casual love (LOL, and I don't think Family Guy or Diagnosis Murder have huge fandoms anyway :P) More than that, fandom really doesn't interest me that much as an ENTIRELY separate entity from Supernatural/Jensen and Jared. If that makes sense. I'm just obsessive like that.

Even after SPN finishes, I'll still be hanging around following Jensen and Jared's careers and generally being creepy and writing slash. I think even if I end up a published author, I would find it a task to give up writing little snippets of fic online because... well, you don't get this community anywhere else, you don't get this kind of support and, in a really selfish way, I love how there are no rules as to what I write/how I write when I'm being my LJ self. This place allows for a freedom of form that is lacking in the real world.

So. Um. I'll survive if the fandom goes under when the show ends. But I'll be like... sad? And lonely. :( Let's huddle together and think good thoughts!

(forgive me. It's 8.30 in the morning. I'm not coherent.)
