I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

I am prepared to fight anyone who declares there's a threshold level for Fandom. Yeah, there are some superfans out there and more power to them, especially when they write superb fic, make great art or put on conventions. But you don't have to do any of that, even actively, to classify yourself.

Good to hear some good Mom news!

That is good to hear, Tom.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Tom, that's great news about your mom!

This is what I was thinking. If someone asked me "what's your fandom?" I would interpret that as asking "What do you enjoy watching/reading/playing?"

It is so lovely to see you Nilly!!!

Y'all just need to sparkle more in your fandoms.

I actually really do miss lj for that kind of thing. It was well suited. I really fell out of reading fic after lj... did whatever it did.

Ooh, ooh! I just ran 18 minutes out of 30 on the treadmill! Ten, five, and three, with walking breaks between, but this huge in my little world. Especially when I compare it to where I was at my lowest mobility in the last couple of years. Am so grateful.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

When someone says sparkle more and you say "challenge accepted."

Um. Y'all I am FREAKED OUT.

Someone just jacked my phone this morning--I was on a work call and don't know how long it had happened but I saw I had a new email that said my IMSI had been changed and was like "what?" and looked up and saw it was still on wifi but no bars anymore. Immediately called T-Mobile from my work Teams phone number and they fixed it and put some blocks on the account and I"m about to go change all my passwords but WHAT THE FUCK

dcp, ouch!

Good grief, meara. Shakes fist at universe and says enough already!

I am freaked out on your behalf, meara. Jesus. I wish I had something useful to offer.
