You know you can't be two things at the same time. You can't hold two opposing beliefs. You can't feel two different emotions.

Humans aren't built that way, after all. ;-)

... What am I, a goddamned fairy? I am not TINKERBELL.

I call you on your bs madam!

+10 points for Tinkerbell reference

I find the batshit crazy of some SPN fangirls to be deeply amusing in an anthropological sort of way. Because I don't watch the show/am not in the fandom, I get to sit back and watch popcorn when insanity happens. (And ogle pics of whoever the damn hell I want, also known as EVERYONE.)

See, you're smart. I had to go and fall in love with the show. Curse me and my inability to love good writing and gorgeous men. CURSE ME.

And if you look at it from the outside - like I do fandoms like Gossip Girls - it is pretty hilarious.

I'm protected from falling in love with the show by an overactive imagination, out-of-control fear response, and a huge tendency towards nightmares. So I basically lurk around, read some hot fic, and wander away again because I can't actually watch the show. But I have loved all three Winchester men in their other works!

Oh Gossip Girl. I need to catch up on like a season and a half of you. Just like every other damn show I used to watch. (Okay, I lie. I watched quite a bit of TV this semester. Probably because it was the only thing I had the time/energy to do to unwind between school and sleep.)

Tinkerbell. Time Lord. Vampire. Werewolf. Fox. Frog. Angel. Demon. Pick one. :-) Mass Majority Humanity is over-rated when wadding into fandoms.

You are perfectly right. I may not be into Supernatural, but I never understood the harm in liking the whole fandom. Sure, I had those characters I was pulling for that I related to the most, but it never crossed my mind to segment off sections of the show/movie/book/etc. because it appeared diametrically opposed to the parts I like.

It's just so arbitrary. You can't like this because of ... because of what? Nothing. I don't want to liken it to a lot of other things - but that's some sort of petty prejudice that I just don't want in my fandom.

It's arbitrary and illogical. Whatever you became a fan of, you became a fan because of the whole. Take away from the whole and you're left with something not whole.

IT'S BAD PHYSICS.

Speaking of which, gotta see if the new Doctor is out.

I was impressed with BBC America; Waters on Mars ran uncut last night. Hurray for Julie coming to America!

And decisions made solely on emotions always equal bad physics.
