In which I contemplate the death of the inner fangirl
If I'm truly honest I must admit she's been dying a very slow death for the last five years at least. Gone are the halcyon days of obsessively watching and/or collecting that used to define my world to some degree. It started with the soaps, became really bad with The X-Files and I do believe it ended with Potter Verse.
Don't get me wrong, I still love my pop culture world, I'm simply not OCD about it anymore. In a way it's kind of sad. I remember feeling out of place most of my young life because I didn't know anyone like me so it was rather exhilarating to discover that there was a world of people just like me on the internet. I've made long lasting friendships through fandom that I will cherish forever but I feel the need to cleanse some of it out of my life. To that end I am starting to rid myself of the collective crap I have accumulated through the years. I'm starting with the hundreds of magazines and press clippings I have saved throughout nearly 25 years of various fandoms. It's an impressive amount of detritus (that's not even counting all the crap I have thrown out before) but I think I'm finally ready to let it all go.
P.S. Hello, my name is Muriel and I am a hoarder! Srsly, I found crap from my brief three year obsession with basketbal... WTF!?
