Summer cleaning

Aug 09, 2009 05:34

Cleaned out my school e-mail's inbox and my joined communities. The school e-mail has the tiniest storage capacity ever and I'd have to empty it out like every three months because of course-related newsletters, global messages, school organization e-mails, etc. etc. Came about time to do it again, only now that I'm done with college I really wiped it out. Made me kind of sad to think that part of my life is really over. As happy as I am I don't have to go to school anymore -- until I decide to go to grad school or something -- I kind of miss it somehow.

Got that nostalgic feeling leaving LJ communities I haven't looked at in years. I was active in fandoms back then, at least by way of commenting and discussing. And wow, did I have annoying weaboo chatspeak back then. Adding suffixes to names and spelling out exclamations like "muuy" and... other ones I can't remember, but I abused that one plenty. Unfortunately I still abuse emoticons, but whatever, old habits die hard. XD;;

This is lol embarrassing to mention but back in like 2007 I was obsessed with this terribly soapy college drama called The Best Years which aired on The-N. Why does this matter? Because I can probably say with authority I was the smartest-sounding person on that series's LJ community, and that makes me feel like an awesome person. While other fans were like, "OMG trent is so hawt" I was writing manifestos on why the main character Sam was a total Sue and the writers are trying too hard to make viewers sympathize with her tragically perfect, self-absorbed self. Okay, so it was one tl;dr character analysis and some other scattered but still smart-sounding comments about how Trent is a creeper and Devon was the better boyfriend except the show made him look like a douche and other such oddities. But the point is I was active and actually looked intelligent. The only other fandom that made me feel smart was IGPX, but the LJ fandom was awesome anyway, so it was a collective effort. So not sucking up, HONEST. D:

Lololol brag brag brag someone please convince me out of researching and looking up the supposed Best Years season two that only aired in Canada because watching anime is clearly more mature and less shameful than watching "edgy" glamorized teenage dramas.

PS: Ha ha, I forgot there was a Noah in TBY and that made me (re?)realize I have a soft spot/thing for Noa(h)s. Noa in the Yuugiou fillers, Noah in TBY, Noah in Heroes, and my favorite of them all -- Noa in KIBA. It's like my thing for Jamies that started with Zoids or that Disney EMT show from the early 2000s with hot Christopher Ralph.

Rofl this entry, man.

tv, college, ki-ba, noa, igpx, lj, heroes, just pretend i'm awesome
