what could make people happier?

[pocky_slash]

So, there's a lot of hysteria on my f-list right now, and people getting alternately angry and weepy over something that I do not know anything about and am not remotely interested in. I am just strangely confused, because--and maybe this is my fandom age showing, seeing as how I've been doing fandom things for over a decade, now--this is what

You're insane.

I love the look of deep concentration on your face in the picture where you're making the dinosaurs fight.

Good hair day for you.

[pocky_slash]

I was deeply disturbed at the dinosaur in-fighting. Thus the concentration.

Not a particularly good hair day. Not a bad one either. Any day my hair isn't a frizzy ball of.. whatever tends to be a good day.

Uh-oh, which fandom got brokenated this time?

I use these

[pocky_slash]

Oh, it's just Fall Out Boy and all their related... whatevers. Or something like that. I haven't really gone looking, so this is entirely based on whatever people on my f-list are saying.

THOSE ARE THE CUTEST ICONS I'VE EVER SEEN :O :O :O

I've totally DLed them for OSX. Oh man! Excitement!

[velocityofsound]

Can we talk about how I fail at HTML for a second?

I USE THEM IN MY OBJECTDOCK (IDK WHAT YOU CALL IT ON YOUR DIRTY MAC) AND THEY MAKE ME HAPPY EVERY DAY. :):)

I don't think I have ever even heard a song by any of those bands, except for that Panic at the Disco song from that commercial one time. OLD FART, PARTY OF ONE YOUR TABLE IS READY.

omg, My harddrive icon is now a t-rex :D :D :D And iTunes is a pteradactyl! Oh gosh, life is awesome!

re: Fall out Boy: I saw part of one of their videos once when I was channel surfing. I know that one of them is kind of a squishy cute redhead named Patrick. That's about it. oh man, I am the queen of lame.

Every time I see that "NEVER FORGET" shirt, I have to resist the urge to buy it.

The internets are for dinosaur porn?

[pocky_slash]

YES. YES THEY ARE.

(and, I love that shirt an ungodly amount. )

I think the problem for some people is that they get enough shit for being fans of the bands OUTSIDE of fandom and thus when people do it who are also in fandom it's kind of . . . More upsetting? Or something. I don't know, certain parts of the post were actually really interesting to me and certain parts made me kind of upset, and I'm not even that emotionally invested (she says, thinking of a shirt to make for the concerts in November). I mean, I have to censor my words around some people because they vehemently dislike the bands. And I'm willing to do it, it's not like I don't censor myself in other ways. But. Other people hating on your fandom is kind of a new fandom ritual (which, the fandom actually isn't that new, but the explosion of people is), but it's a little different when some of those people are your friends or people you thought were kind of cool. Much like how I miss Fred Thompson being on L&O, because that would be FAR BETTER THAN HIS STUPID PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY

[shala]

Which, okay, I know you didn't read the original post. I will not talk about it! Um. Shit, I'm gonna be late for work. *runs*

[pocky_slash]

ahaahah, yeah, I haven't read it, and, to be honest, I don't care all that much except that my f-list is literally filled with people bemoaning the fact that bandom has made it to f_w (because I guess being on fandom_wank means... I don't even know what. It means that other people agree that there are stupid people in your fandom?) or that people said this or crying because bandom means something to them and people are demeaning it.

And, I mean, I literally have almost no clue what's going on, except to say that people should calm down and look at pictures of dinosaurs.

Also, I will e-mail you my address because I LOVE YOU TOO AND HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE YOU IN OCTOBER I HAVE TO SEE.

What, no shot of the plastic dinosaurs on Wash's side of the flight controls? =(

[pocky_slash]

Awww, I didn't even think of that! I was too entranced by my own plastic dinosaurs!
