For any number of reasons, this is my offering to the universe today.

I think it's only fair to say at this point that if successive links to obscure british operas, and vintage american pop isn't your thing... this may not be the journal you are looking for. de-friend at will

oh i totally heart your "girl who overthinks simple things" geekage, it's part of what makes you so awesome :D

i don't always get the 'ashamed' thing either, despite the fact that i sometimes feel that way...i love the fandom, finding people who i relate to on things other than work or school. it is a comfy place to be, amongst fellow geeks who get it. and it has sparked this plethora of creativity in me, at a time in my life when i was feeling too tied to the real world, boring and as uninspiried as the next guy scrubbing shit for a living. for someone who's always lived too much in her head, it left me reeling and ungrounded (which somehow sounds wrong, ungrounded but normally head in the clouds, which is usually described as ungrounded...guh...anyway)

i think in part that the 'ashamed' comes from the fact that i do get terribly obsessive and if you combine that with my sometimes desperate need to not stand out...well, whether you're going to the movies five times a week to watch the same movie, or reading four books in one day, or lying in bed staring at the ceiling for hours, or writing anime porn...all of it indicates that you are maybe somehow different and i have been labeled 'different' by so many things outside my control that, as a result, i seek to appear as normal as i possibly can. [/amatuer psycology]

thankfully, this is changing, in large part to jake (who accepts it all and is amused by and really loves my inherent oddness/geekage) and the people here, who are all geeking about fandom and writing and so many things that get my blood up. hooray for finally embracing my inner geek!

and you thought you went all tangenty! (and sorry for the 'woe 'es me stuff...')

on a food allergy note: my bro is allergic to nearly everything! comparatively speaking, i feel pretty blessed to only have to cut the wheat, oats, barley and rye :)
