[+] So, when Phillip Phillips (TLDR; dumbest name ever, poor guy) won AI last year, I liked him okay, and I had downloaded some of his performances. I thought "Home" was easily the best single AI ever concocted for their winner; it wasn't overwrought like every single one before it, and it fit him quite well. But his new song, "Gone, Gone, Gone,"

Agreed. I've been in deep denial about this for awhile now, but I'm starting to accept it. When I realized that I was refreshing tumblr and A03 more than my flist, I knew it was the beginning of the end. And it does suck, because LJ is fantastic for conversation in ways tumblr just can't be. I'm trying to learn it, and starting to get a feel for the place, but it's still strange. LJ's been my home base for almost ten years. I don't really want to give it up, but it seems like just about everyone is gone, and most who are around here are very inactive (myself included). Most of the time, these days, when I consider making a post, I talk myself out of it. There just doesn't seem to be much of a point. (Honestly? That's how I feel most of the time regarding LJ period. I hate that feeling but there it is.)
sometimes it's hard to be that person who is still having a good time when everyone around you thinks the party sucks. I'd imagine so. On some level, I get it--I ( ... )

I tend to be very monogamous with my shows. I've watched many, very happily all the way through, enjoying every bit while others around me were imploding (LOST is the one that pops to mind most readily) so...it's probably something about my personality. Oh, and I have INSANE love for Ian Somerhalder. I mean, INSANE. So, yeah.

It's damn-near impossible to not get spoiled and speculation runs ridiculously rampant. And it's not as easy to avoid haters or dealing with other couples/characters you don't like. I just--doesn't work for me. :shrugs:
ETA: I don't know, you might have competition for who loves Damon/Elena most with me, LOL!

Lately I haven't had as much time for in-depth conversations, I guess, either, which is partly why my episode responses are short, and I don't always have time to go read yours and properly respond. So maybe this is all therapy for me to realize having less fandom interaction is actually what I need. More things to ponder. Humph!

Seems to me uber-shipping is getting in the way for some people - one episode doesn't go their way and they quit! I don't know what show they expect to be watching, but I suspect it would be a pile of crap. I wish people would let it go a bit and enjoy the journey.

As long as your Top 10 scenes includes stuff from 4x06, we'll be good. I'm looking forward to it.
For the record, I'm not getting involved in modding another comm, or whatever it is you're suggesting. I don't have time for that, which is why I had to stop modding to begin with. I'm not sure what you've got in mind here, but I know a few years ago Delicious accounts were really popular for stuff like that. But of course, that was for people to keep a running list of fic recs or stuff like that, so I don't know how it would work for a more comprehensive type of list.
As for something that nobody knows about Size Matters: I'd say it's my most self-inserted fic with regard to what Elena thinks about penises and their ridiculousness. Certainly things within my fics reflect my feeling and ( ... )

Nah, I'm not trying to talk you into modding anything. I don't have time to mod anything myself, I'm just whining pointlessly.
This thing about Size Matters is actually a bit creepy, because I remember ferociously nodding my way through that fic, thinking: "Yeah, this is PRECISELY how I feel about this." Hive mind much?

If you go, I'm so going with you. I don't know how much longer I can maintain my semi-rational anti-Tumblr feels at this point.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm in a very small minority of people who still likes the show. It's like everyone on my f-list and everywhere I go, there is so much hate for the show. I can't decide why it isn't that way for me.
I feel conflicted and maybe even guilty about this. I'm usually one of those people who tells others not to complain and to stop watching a show if they don't enjoy it, but I find myself making negative comments about TVD now even though I still watch. I WANT to love the show, and I keep feeling like right around the corner is the episode that will MAKE me love it again. Plus, I went through something similar with The O.C., where I disliked the majority of its 3rd season, but I stayed with the show until the end. It won me back, and when I think on it now, I only feel good things. I think I am hoping/expecting this to happen for me with TVD ( ... )

Maybe my belief can keep you hanging on? In that case, it's worth standing over here with my three friends who still feel that way :D As everyone always says, TVD is better in marathon form--their brand of storytelling is very torturous, spread out over weeks and months. If I had any willpower at all, I'd just quit and come back at the end of S5 and mainline all of it.

Very true! TVD marathons are the best!
