[+] So, when Phillip Phillips (TLDR; dumbest name ever, poor guy) won AI last year, I liked him okay, and I had downloaded some of his performances. I thought "Home" was easily the best single AI ever concocted for their winner; it wasn't overwrought like every single one before it, and it fit him quite well. But his new song, "Gone, Gone, Gone,"

Agreed. I've been in deep denial about this for awhile now, but I'm starting to accept it. When I realized that I was refreshing tumblr and A03 more than my flist, I knew it was the beginning of the end. And it does suck, because LJ is fantastic for conversation in ways tumblr just can't be. I'm trying to learn it, and starting to get a feel for the place, but it's still strange. LJ's been my home base for almost ten years. I don't really want to give it up, but it seems like just about everyone is gone, and most who are around here are very inactive (myself included). Most of the time, these days, when I consider making a post, I talk myself out of it. There just doesn't seem to be much of a point. (Honestly? That's how I feel most of the time regarding LJ period. I hate that feeling but there it is.)
sometimes it's hard to be that person who is still having a good time when everyone around you thinks the party sucks.
I'd imagine so. On some level, I get it--I have no LJ friends who share my current fandom at all--but having a bunch who WERE into it, then they suddenly aren't anymore, while you're still digging it? That has to suck. (I know I'm guilty of this, when it comes to TVD. I actually felt bad about that on a personal level for awhile; I hate feeling changeable.)
I think you may have more faith and patience in TVD than the average viewer. It's commendable, really. Some interests burn bright then fade away, while others can hold strong for years. Sometimes a film or a show just clicks with us, and we go beyond liking it to connecting with it and it's characters on a very basic level. You must see something in the show now that most of us are missing, but there's nothing wrong with that. :)

I tend to be very monogamous with my shows. I've watched many, very happily all the way through, enjoying every bit while others around me were imploding (LOST is the one that pops to mind most readily) so...it's probably something about my personality. Oh, and I have INSANE love for Ian Somerhalder. I mean, INSANE. So, yeah.
