Funny, it's only been 6 days since I last posted. Feels longer than that.
I haven't been around much because I'm taking a break from the social parts of fandom. I came to the horrifying realization that I've begun taking things far, FAR too seriously, and one of the things I used to pride myself on (at least when it comes to my fangirling) was my ability to step back and remember that in the end, it's just fandom. I've been losing that ability as of late, as ertai_lapis and mtfanatic have so kindly pointed out to me, so I decided to go through a period of radio silence. Oh, and to stop reading comment threads. I like things better this way. Especially because fandom has suddenly decided it needs another hate meme. I haven't looked and have no plans to--I never do, really--but it's just a reminder that when fandom starts becoming "srs bznz" then it's time to go do something else. Lately "something else" has been work, but, well.
Today started off absolutely crap and then suddenly made a turn for the absolutely fucking amazing. I lack the energy to explain it all, and I really need to go put clothes in the wash, so a proper story will have to wait for later. But yeah, feeling pretty good right now. I'm even being optimistic and not assuming things will go horribly wrong in a short period of time! \o/
Oh hey, it's the 22nd in Korea. New Epik High album get! Oh, and I suppose it's that guy's birthday today, too. You know, the one I have such a huge crush on. :)
