Fangirlishness (with a question for all of you)
You know how I'm a fangirl? Well, I devote a lot of 'headspace' (if you like) to being one. Really, a lot. Admittedly, I do have the sort of mind anyway that thrives on thinking about lots and lots and lots at once (with the ability to concentrate on one at a time, most of the time).
Being exposed to so much fiction (particularly from TV and film, but also literature) gives me a lot of ideas. I quite like to create characters in existing universes (e.g. a new character in Dr Who, or Emmerdale, or something) - but just in my head. And then I squeeze them into existing storylines.
So, it's not uncommon for me to spend time daydreaming about one of these scenarios, where I've created a new character in a TV programme - and indeed I give a lot of thought to how they fit in, so that I've created an entire life for them (and I'm very careful to do this without contradictions in storylines too - though sometimes I have to change something about an existing storyline to accommodate my ideas).
And this all goes on in my head.
So, my question is: Erm, it's not just me, is it? Is it?
:)
Don't get me wrong - I'm perfectly happy being this way, and it's always a conscious choice to swap between my fangirlish storlyines and the real world in my head, so it's not like a multiple personality disorder or anything! ;)
