Hmmm

I'm fascinated by people who are fannish about media, but not in fandom. Namely, Micah and Joaquim, who both live in my co-op. Joaquim put all of Farscape on the co-op server, grinned with unholy glee when he found out I was interested, then as soon as I finished it asked me, "So how are you filling the hole in your life?"

Similarly, Micah, anime guy, inhaled all of my One Piece episodes (of which I had 100), then inhaled the Samurai Champloo I put on the server (only 8 episodes, but DVD rips, so high quality shit) and will ask me whenever he passes me in the common room, "Hey...anything new that you're watching lately? Have you heard of....?"

OMG how do they live? There is no one to supply them with crack. How they must suffer.



Meanwhile, I just got seperis promising to send me SGA episodes, which will make both me and my roommate very happy since we recently got addictedlikewhoa to the fic. Well, she got addicted, then she got me addicted. The conversation leading up to that went something like this:

adrienne2: It's like that ex-boyfriend you had in highschool who was really smart, but completely unambitious. And that one guy who thought he was so much smarter than you, but would hit on you because you were still smarter than all the other girls and kinda cute.
lierdumoa: Oh, God.
adrienne2: Then imagine the ex-boyfriend joined the military. And now both of them have to save the world together.
lierdumoa: Oh, God.
lierdumoa: You knew them in highschool, didn't you?
lierdumoa: Aheh.
lierdumoa: I think I was them in highschool.

Only. You know. With tits.

For the full text of that analogy, as posted by merryish in April on her LJ, check out this entry.

I particularly like:
"OMG my slacker ex-boyfriend and that dork from the debate club are supposed to save the world?? We are SO DOOMED!!!"
