Spike ,'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't remember my parents making rules against TV shows, as much as not making TV watching at night a norm.
For a couple of years my dad didn't let us watch TV on three days each week. Then when I was in HS and had a GF I stopped watching TV altogether.
I know, it's pricey. But I WANTS IT.
a fan is bitter because she was not allowed to open the box and get the first book, which should have been her right because she had the best Potter costume at the bookstore.
I saw that on fandom_wank! It's just ... wow. I can understand why the writer would be disappointed; she was told the honor of the first book would be awarded on basis of best costume, and it wasn't. But the way she wrote about it, and the bile she spewed at the parent of the winning child, and the complete lack of perspective...
Fandom is crazy. HP fandom has extra crazy sauce.

You know, we're all crotchdroppings. That's what cracks me up about the LJ cf communities. I truly believe a person should have kids ONLY if the person wants to. I don't think there's anything weird/off/wrong/bad about not wanting kids, or not enjoying kids in an adult setting (schmancy restaurant; grown-up party; etc.), nor do I blame cf people for being annoyed that the world expects them to have children. But the child and family hate I see in these communities is mind-boggling. It's like they think they sprang fully formed from Zeus's head. Or ass.
more at the link....Please, no more. Ever.
I just remembered why I don't like people. And it's Sass' fault. Damn her, him, whatev for having a name even close to mine. I'm furious. On principle of course, not out of any sense of entitlement. Well yes, entitlement also. But I registered it, I deserve it.
Wow, that link was really, really pathetic and annoying.
That particular community is definitley lunatic fringe, though.

Yeah. No matter what stuff you're obsessed with, there's always folks more obsessed than you that you can make fun of.
(For values of "you" = "me" and maybe others.)
I googled it on Fandom Wank to see the comments over there. My favorite? My fandom doesn't even pretend to have a life.
I need an icon with this. An icon with Spike on it. I know it's from a Potter fan, but I don't care.

Ah, fandom, that has such whackaloons in it.
