I don't really see the seperation between fandom and friendships offline.

Many of my friends do, but I don't. Online friendships have kept me sane, especially when (as far as I knew) my husband and I were the only people like us in Charlotte, NC.

And then I killed the thread.

Almost as if it had been scripted by Tim.

I guess I still make a distinction between the LAistas and other Buffistas, because I have more of a chance to interact with the former outside of the computer, but there really isn't any separation between the friends I have in LA because of the board and friends I made other ways. All of the people I visited on my trip last week are still Buffy board people, but ita, Kat and Aimee aren't.

That doesn't meean Deena (for example) means less to me than ita (also for example), it just means I think about them differently.

Hmm. Obviously, I hang out with LAistas more than other Buffistas, and yet, I still think of you all as "Buffy friends." Interesting. Maybe because when I explain where I was, sometimes I have to make it clear that my Buffy friends are older, so I still make the differentiation. If I say I went to my friend's baby shower, or I was so disappointed I didn't get to go to another set of friends' wedding, a lot of people look at me a little funny until I mention that those friends are not 19, for instance.

Argh! *headdesk*

So I typey typed a post.

Then I pressed the big "OK" button insetad of "Post Message" and it skipped me back to Jan 1st and ate all my lovely words.

I am an idiot.

My Evil Hand issues may prevent me from re-typing (if my brain can even remember all I was saying) so just imagine that I posted something really cool and witty yet thoughtful. Or something.

ETA: And now two more annoying things just happened to my computer.

It hates me.

Sometimes you can use your browser's 'back' button to get back to the previous page with your text intact.

Although that might depend on the browser.

Poor Splattyman.

Poor Splattyman.

Indeed.

Maybe its a lesson from the PTB...

In any case, it was about the (now edited away) lovey dovey fandom freindship comments, and how I am geographically challenged in that area...

99% of my fandom friends are across oceans, and only 1% of my RL (UK) friends share fandom interests... etc.

You'll have to imagine the rest because the Evil Hand has struck. :(

here's a publicity shot for The Inside, before Katie joined the cast.

Also, I dunno if I should ask in Technology, but if I want to do an animated LJ icon, what do I need to do?

I want to do a set for The Inside.

that's a spiffy shot, although the blonde's breasts are... disconcertingly prominent. I think it's the way her jacket hangs on the left.
