A bunch of shit.
I have often thought about making many posts, but usually I talk myself out of it, forget about it, or am just too lazy to write something. I'm in a weird mood tonight I think so I've randomly compiled a few things that I have thought about making posts about previously or that I have just been thinking about lately and am deciding to share.
--Oh why did I join another landcomm? Well, mostly because some stranger randomly invited me, and I have no life, is the answer. But it was possibly foolish of me because this land comm looks like it's gonna be hella active, and I'm really trying to curb my desire to participate in nearly every challenge. Luckily cutting out attempting writing challenges in most of the comms wasn't difficult for me, as they usually just frustrate me to no end, no matter what fandom/topic they are.
--One awesome thing about the landcomm I just joined - landofart - is that I have already received about a dozen sig tags made for me. This is not a big surprise, because it looks to be a really big comm, and it's a graphics comm so of course people are going to make a lot of them. But it's still fun for me, because I like pretty things with my username on them.
--Thinking of my username....I have often thought about changing it because I think it's weird and I made it like a billion years ago when I was super into Dune. But it feels too late now, and I'm strangely attached to it; even though I always suspect no one gets it or knows how to 'pronounce' or interpret (?) it properly. Whatever. It's staying!
--I need to unfollow a lot of people on tumblr. No one in particular, but I'm following about 350 people and that is way too many. I spend too much time on tumblr, but now that LJ comms are eating up my life (which I have no problem with) I feel less desire to spend endless hours on tumblr. Unfortunately I feel bad about unfollowing people and feel like I can't unfollow anyone because I have decided they are all awesome. I'm going to end up doing some kind of analysis of every person I follow, which will likely take way too long, so I can properly sort out who I feel okay about unfollowing. Over thinking things? Me? Hardly!
--Sometimes I feel like I don't have strong opinions about fandom stuff, because there are a lot of things I feel sort of ambivalent about or that don't bother me too much. But then I end up reading forums for shows I like and I start thinking certain people are dead wrong or just very very stupid. Then I realize I do have opinions and I am right and those people are all wrong.
--I started reading Sherlock fanfic again after a few weeks of staying away from it (not intentionally, I think I was just over-saturated with it and took a natural break). This is probably a bad idea though, because I can already feel myself getting over involved again. If there is one ship/fandom I will end up wanking over on here it is probably going to be this one. I've already stopped myself a couple of times when I wanted to post over the top ranting about the show/fandom. This is sort of though ridiculous because there's only three frelling episodes of this show! I need to stop being so invested!
--I'm trying to write something up for every episode of Fringe, but I'm way behind because I procrastinate at writing so much. I'm trying to get really into Fringe this season though, because it's basically the only currently airing fandom I'm interested in that I have no huge reservations about or feel super paranoid/pessimistic about.
