Fandoms...

For everyone who knows me they know that when I love something...I love it almost to the extent of insanity. My entire life is fueled by my passion for life. This passion is a great motivator for my dreams and it also makes me very protective of those I love. It also makes me a little high strung when people are ignorant. But that is not what I am focusing on today, even though I have plenty to talk about on the subject or ignorance...another time.

Today, my focus is on my passion and obsession for certain fandoms. If you don't know what a fandom is...well that is sad for you and here is the definition of a fandom...*ahem* A fandom is the community that surrounds a tv show/movie/book etc. Fanfiction writers, artists, poets, and cosplayers are all members of that fandom. Fandoms often consist of message boards, livejournal communities, and people. And now you know. So let us start with a list of my fandoms.

Harry Potter (this is a required fandom for my generation)

The Big Bang Theory (Sheldon. Need I say more?)

Doctor Who (Great storyline, great characters, and David Tennant is so sexy hot!)

30 Rock (I often find myself saying "I am Liz Lemon")

Vampire Diaries (It is my guilty pleasure)

Firefly (One season is not enough!!!)

Ouran High School Host Club (Again, one season is not enough!! Also Tamaki should marry me.)

How I Met Your Mother (If you have been keeping up with my blog, then you already know this)

Glee (I mean, it is practically my life)

Arrested Development (One of the best television shows in the history of American television)

Workaholics (One of the stupidest, funniest, most entertaining shows I have ever watched)

Grey's Anatomy (I have never missed a single episode)

There you go. That is the list of my obsessions. I know it is crazy and kind of weird, but it makes my life a little more enjoyable. I am love the stories and the people. I love seeing myself in the characters. I love laughing until my stomach hurts. I know that people may think that I am trying to escape reality or trying to live my life through these shows, but I'm not. My life is pretty damn good and I love to spend time and hang out with my family and friends. I love to go meet new people and experience new things. I love to sing and I love to read. I feel that it is a credit to me and my capacity to love and connect with other people, that I am able to feel empathy and sympathy for people who are not real and that I have never met. It is a trait that people often have a hard time with in their dealings with people that they know well. Yeah, I am a little obsessed, but it makes me happy and that is all that matters. And with that said I am going to go and spend some time with my fandoms.
