two things
+ Listening to coverage on NPR about how people from Connecticut (what do y'all call yourselves?) are split in their support of the Patriots vs. the Giants, I got bitter and pissed off. I shouldn't care. But I do. Because grown-ass adults can talk about "loathing" a team and talk about "redemption" when it comes to sports, and that is totally socially acceptable and nobody questions it. But if I was to go on any media outlet and talk using that same sort of language about ships or character arcs or the depth of my feelings about the stories I invest in, people would think I was weird and either mock or pity me.
I hate the world.
+ Okay, so apparently these ugly-crying gifs of KBell that I've been seeing around have something to do with sloths + Ellen? I really love KBell, so I kind of want to watch whatever this is, but sloths really, really freak me out? Like almost as much as komodo dragons, which are currently number one on my list of animals that freak me out (my list makes much more sense than my sister's, which is comprised of squirrels and fish. I don't know either). Something about the way they move is just scary as anything to me. So can I watch this video without being horrified? Can I close my eyes during the sloth parts and just watch the KBell parts, or is it mostly sloth parts? Ugh. Just writing the word grosses me out.
I use my Andrew icon for this post because he is the only celebrity I would believe can understand the depth of my feelings (about anything. about everything. just feelings in general). Andrew Garfield: Emotional Evangelist is your sponsor for this post.

I think I must live a very sheltered existence, because no one ever laughs at me or mocks me for my investment in stories. I mean, sometimes my dad gets concerned that my priorities are in the wrong places, but then my dad has no patience with sports, either. I am sorry that you have been subjected to such. *hugs*

Mostly the people who know about my fandom involvement don't care? But that's very few people. It's more the larger social context that bothers me--that whenever people involved in fandom are depicted in the media, they're losers who live in their parents' basement and don't know how to operate in the real world. And it's so false, but it taints everything, and it makes me angry.
