Much like yesterday, I gave
myself a very open ended topic suggestion for today. It simply says “Fan of
(Books, Games, Etc)” I think the point
was to let me write about whatever I was feeling particularly fan-y about
today, which was a good idea, except that I can’t seem to settle on what fandom
I want to write about today.
I am a huge fan of so many
things, and a causal fan of so many others.
I’ve met some of my best friends because of the TV shows I watch and the
books I read. I’m only as close as I am
to one of my very best friends because of our love for Harry Potter, and a
summer we spent doing almost nothing but trying desperately to stay awake
through a consecutive marathon of the movies, and writing fan fiction. The group that I hung out with throughout
college only found me because I was idly typing “Stargate SG-1” as a way to test fonts in computer class, and I was
invited to watch Stargate Atlantis
with the group on Friday night. I can’t
even begin to imagine how different my life would be if I hadn’t been a fan of
SG-1 or Atlantis. I’ve made friends
online through various video games and out of love for specific comics. My
brother gets annoyed when his girlfriend and I get together to squee over the
latest expansion pack of The Sims game. I don’t even know who I would be without my
tendency to fangirl, and I frankly have no desire to find out.
