Re: 16...

I hate hiking, camping, and amusement parks, there are no movies out that I wish to see, and I don't see the point of going to the library when I can read equally good fiction on the internet from the comfort of my house. I also work my ass off, and the last thing I want to do after dealing with shitty customers and screaming children all day is spend my weekends and evenings in the worst areas of town hoping I won't get mugged, raped, or worse.

I've met and made more friends through online fandom than I ever have face to face. I refuse to say "in real life." Because these people I call "friend" are not figments of my imagination; they're real flesh-and-blood people, and I will not invalidate their friendship by implying my online social life is "fake," just because of the medium we communicate in. Dare I mention I met my girlfriend, whom I love to pieces and will soon be leaving the country to live with, through a Livejournal fandom?

No, I don't have much of a life outside of internet fandom. I prefer it that way. Because the sheer amount of bullshit I put up with offline makes me enjoy being online all the more. I might consider spending two weeks away from my laptop if the people around me didn't suck so much.
