i overthink things & am generally socially awkward, as you already know
I'm probably being melodramatic & all kinds of lame, but forewarned is forearmed.
I have this thing with fandoms: I throw myself into a new one headfirst & completely and I've been known to change fandoms pretty often. I put fannish blinders on & nothing else matters. I'm all about this show or that one; for example, within hours of watching my first episode of Supernatural, I was already uploading icons for it. I change my desktop wallpaper to suit the fandom I'm obsessed with at the moment. It's a pattern & I'm about to restart the cycle.
It was about this time last year when, well, the whole of Japan became my fandom. I was devouring volumes of manga a day, downloading drama after drama, & basically turning into an otaku stereotype. ('I want to work on my Japanese!', 'Let's make onigiri!', 'Bento! ♥')
But I was so happy -- and, considering what was going on in my life at the time, that was almost a miracle. Things are much better now, as you all know, but I could stand to be a bit happier, couldn't everybody? And sometimes you just have to do what makes you happy.
I'm going to be putting my Supernatural watching on hold for a while & the queue of other shows/episodes to watch will probably get a bit longer. Watching Hana-Kimi these past few days & having the opportunity to talk about it with others, it's made me ridiculously happy. I bounce & giggle while I'm watching my show, dance in my chair while I'm listening to Arashi or Orange Range, and break out in a smile at the most random of things.
Anyways, this is getting way tl;dr. Basically, while I will definitely still be doing my daily news posts & blogging about my life and anything of actual interest (:P), the majority of my 'fandom' posts for the forseeable future are going to be revolving around Asian dramas, anime, & music. I know that's not everyone's cuppa, so I wanted to put this out there. Every day is already defriending amnesty day, but ... *cringes* I knew this was going to be lame. :/ I just don't want anyone to get pissy because I've suddenly diverged on a different fannish path with no warning.
Forewarned is forearmed, ya?
