140. I'm with you there. My toe-dip into the X-Files fandom archives made me glad I watched the show alone or with my brother and didn't have internet access until the late '90s. Lately I've been thinking a lot about how immersing myself into fandom has actually put me off of shows I used to love because of all the endless nitpicking and over-scrutinizing that goes on (which I've been guilty of). Not that sharing your passion can't often be enjoyable, but there's a thin line between invested and over-invested for me, and over-invested ends up being no fun at all. Fandom = a double-edged sword. Also, Forever Knight FTW.

150. See above. :)

151. You too.

154. Substitute those pictures for pictures of Sendhil Ramamurthy, and I could have written this secret verbatim. :)

162. This is one pretty secret. Well done.

181. Oh, WORD. But I don't want them to be made into movies, ever.

183. True fact: I know my ability to write a persuasive argument in academic essays has improved thanks to years of engaging in message board debates.



God, fandom, you make it so hard to quit you.
