In which I reassert my love of fandom.
So I am doing my honors thesis on fandom. Not exactly, of course, more the way that comments and the fanfiction author interact. But mostly it's about fandom. It makes me happy. I take every opportunity to spout about how happy it makes me.
This is me and my good (heterosexual) friend Daniel. Who really wants to leave to go over to his best (heterosexual) friend Zach's house and have (heterosexual) fun doing (heterosexual) things. And instead he gets caught listening to me blather about fandom. Again.
Me (6:35:40 PM): Have I mentioned lately HOW MUCH I LOVE MY THESIS?
Me (6:37:54 PM): I think it's giving me a skewed world view, though.
Daniel (6:38:02 PM): Actually you kinda haven't
Daniel (6:38:10 PM): You've been worrying about how much work you've yet to do
Daniel (6:38:26 PM): Of course, I've seen you for one (1) hour in the past week an a half
Me (6:38:47 PM): Well, yes. But I haven't once said "I HATE THIS THESIS" which would be quite the normal hyperbole for me in any other class.
Daniel (6:38:54 PM): true
Me (6:39:09 PM): But seriously, skeeeewed.
Daniel (6:39:16 PM): I'm sure it is
Me (6:39:21 PM): I be havin' the slash-goggles.
Me (6:39:25 PM): Fucking fangirls.
Me (6:39:57 PM): "OMG THOSE TWO MEN LOOKED AT EACH OTHER THEY MUST BE SECRETLY FUCKING"
Me (6:40:22 PM): I swear to god that's what fandom is like sometimes.
Me (6:40:28 PM): Swear. to. god.
Daniel (6:41:07 PM): I can believe it
Me (6:41:30 PM): I don't really understand what straight women want with gay male sex anyhow.
Daniel (6:41:45 PM): Neither do I!
Daniel (6:42:25 PM): I really do have to leave
Daniel (6:42:31 PM): I've got my coat on and everything
Me (6:44:05 PM): There is some sexuality analysis to be done there, for sure. I think "glorious phallic obsession" would be used in the study. If one cock excites the female brain, two cocks is even better! And, if my literary theory class is right, woman are passive partners in sexual areas anyway, devoid of their own pleasure and being pleased only by the completion of pleasure in the male partner. Thus, it is doubly satisfying for the straight woman to see two males through to pleasure. Huh.
Me (6:44:22 PM): OH MY GOD I'M APPLYING LITERARY THEORY TO THINGS HEEEEELP
Daniel (6:44:55 PM): Nope!
Daniel (6:44:59 PM): You're on your own
Me (6:45:02 PM): hatechu
Me (6:45:09 PM): Go over to your boyfriend's.
Daniel (6:45:23 PM): …
Me (6:45:30 PM): -cackling-
Daniel (6:45:36 PM): Stop drinking the fangirl koolaid!
