blathering
I seem to have this incontrollable urge to blather... so that's what I'm going to do. It's not quite a rant. Anyhow, I have decided I hate whining. Even though I occasionally whine... usually to my husband, who is gracious enough to ignore most of it.
I sometimes am amazed at the third grade-ness of the interent, how grown women and men can behave like 8 years olds when they get a keyboard in front of them. I guess I'm too reserved or something but I keep my personal life, for the most part, to myself. I have had my share of tragedy and such, like most everyone. I just can't seem to think that anyone really wants to know this stuff. I read the day to day of others... thats what a journal is for I suppose but I just don't think I need to be involved in any more lives than I am. I do, after all have a teenager to make miserable.
I have found that all fandoms are the same too. The first one I was ever in had a paranoid homophobe chasing the gay object of her affections all over Germany in an attempt to... what? She even posed as him in a chatroom and on a message board at various times. I wonder what ever happened to her... last i heard her marriage was falling apart and the gay love object avoided her.
I drifted into the Babylon 5 Universe after that one and found that there were actual sensible folk in that one... well, except for the Trekkies who don't really even like Trek. And the Star Wars fans who don't really like Star Wars.
Then I fell in love with Elrond... and began hunting LOTR sites and stuff... that led me to rps. Rps is still what I do best. I learned by reading some very good RPS.. Brenda(her pwps will peel paint and are a delight to the senses), for example, and Lobelia(her Past Imperfect is still the best fic I've ever read). I'm sorry but there is NO comparison.
When I opened LAF, I met tons of new people and many of them were fabulous writers. I opened so the good writer and the novice writer had a friendly home, no matter if they wrote Het or Slash, RP or FP. I had seen too much flaming in these areas.
And I met my dearest friend...and biggest psycho I ever met! That is all just too sordid to talk about...
Today, I guess I'm a happy person, having decided one cold day in Feb. of 2000 that any day above the ground is a good day. I just want to mod my lists, write some smut that makes me (and hopefully a few others) smile or cry, and chat with a few good friends now again about important things like how pretty Craig Parker is and why I'm glad I don't live close enough to Marton to stalk him! I got a good hubby and daughter, a pervy mom who loves Johnny Depp with me and all my online pals...
Its all I need.
