I know a lot of you guys are sick of Fall Out Boy. I've been told so. I've had people defriend me because of it.
It's my fandom. Okay? I don't bitch when anyone else talks about their fandoms. I don't say "God, I'm so sick of hearing about the Office" or "if someone posts something about CNN again I'm going to cut a bitch" or "what's the big deal about Battlestar Galactica?" (to name a few, not singling people out, just thinking about the big fandoms on my flist I'm not part of.) I'm not making you listen to them, I'm not saying they're the best music that's ever been made.
I'm saying I like writing goofy fanfic about them, and wibbling over them, and obsessively looking up pictures of them. I make layouts and icons because that's what people do with their fandoms. And I know there's not a single fan on my flist who can say otherwise.
So: if you want to hate, that's your choice. And if you dislike my fandom enough to get rid of me, well, I'll be sad to see you go.
Just take a look in the mirror, mkay? Fandom's about having fun, or it should be. And this fandom makes me happy in ways that other fandoms have consistently failed to do. I wish everyone had something this fun and worry-free to indulge in, without the constant drama that plagues other fandoms.
But, in the words of the immortal H.O.V.A.: "I'm like, fuck critics, you can kiss my whole asshole, if you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward." Or, you know, something like that? Anyway, it's either talking about Fall Out Boy or Justin Timberlake. If anyone wants me to go on to the Prince of Pop, y'all just let me know.

I don't have that many RL people on my list that I need to seperate my fannish life from my offline one; I think that if people are going to gush over their fandoms, they should be willing to deal with others doing the same thing. And that's where all the problem is, anyhow: people who have their own obsessions but aren't willing to put up with just scrolling past mine and keeping their mouths shut or their fingers still. I'd rather be defriended than bitched about.
*breathe* But thank you for the very reasonable suggestion. I'm sorry I'm an unreasonable person. :D
I don't really care, but I just hate it when people bring stuff up to me even though I've told them time and time again that I don't want to hear about it. Usually in the way of LJ posts, it isn't that bad because you can scroll past it. Unless of course as with a show or a movie, tons of posts show up on that particular subject. Like with Supernatural for me -.-
If it was in their journals or in person, repeatedly, then yeah I'd agree, but in her own LJ, people shouldn't have such a problem, right?
I'm just saying. The world's an ugly place and people will always be selfishly annoying about these things, especially on the internet.
And yeah. It is, they are, and it sucks. Which is why Dani should be able to be just as "selfishly annoying" and fangirl over FOB in her own journal. I can't really understand why your or her friends couldn't just scroll past to the stuff they're actually interested in. *shrug*
I think the reason why was because they don't have a lot of lj friends so my posts make up a big amount of their f-list :\ Sorry I have a lot of stuff to blog about so sue me >
And yeah I understand if like... that was all they saw ever, it'd just be easier. I was just saying that one should feel forced to have to do it, yanno?
Yeah. I just wish that it hadn't come across so bad. Their words were "I don't mean to sound like a bitch, but can you PLEASE create a filter for all this fandom stuff?" There were much nicer ways to go around it :\
Yeah see, now, I'm bitchy enough that'd I'd have been like, "Um. No. My journal. I get to talk about what I want. Especially since you were so damn rude about it." XD
If I was all about persecuting people over their fandoms, it would be hypocritical of me not to filter out people when I talk about mine. But I'm a live-and-let-live, as long as people don't talk shit about me and mine, you know?
All my shit's all mixed up together too. I'd be making way MORE posts if I had to seperate all my FOB from everything else... and hell, it's not like I post my fic or anything here, if I was shoving, you know, FOB GSF in everyone's faces I'd understand a bit of furor. xD
I, however, LOVE 30 Seconds to Mars. I can see you don't. [Hence why I refused to listen to your podcast before]. You have never dissed my 30stm fandom to me - yeah I said diss, so what? XD - so if I have done so for FOB to you in the past? Notice how I haven't lately. I? Scroll past it now. I look for the things on you journal I LIKE to read. Because at least unlike other people? You say other things; you say things I want to read, to comment on; you're my friend.
So count this as a: an apology if I've done so in the past, and b: a promise to just keeping ignoring it in the future. XD Hey, no matter how much people may have in common, there are bound to be things they don't agree on. You'd have to either ignore it, or be prepared for arguments constantly.
Letting it go's just easier. =)

♥ Exactly. I'm an expert in the art of ignoring that which doesn't directly impact me. (or I like to think so, having three siblings etc.)
Wrod. If anything teaches you tolerance and stoneskin, it's siblings. XD ♥
<3
♥ speaking of which, I want a report on the concert, lol.
♥ ♥ ♥ Wentz-and-Hemmylove!
Also I THINK THERE'S AN ALLUSION TO ME IN THESE COMMENTS, OMG. PEOPLE R TALKIN' ABOUT ME DANI. I'M SPESHMUL.
Ignore me if you must, I'm on crack. XD
It's that Pete Wentz reminds me of my brother's dog. And Sonny Moore. I'm not sure why.
He's a gremlin with some strange charm. Everyone* loves him but they don't know why.
But like most creatures I scroll past if I don't want to read it. You don't have to filter for me.
*except for me and my sister
I don't want the p33n to get meeee...
I think half his charm is how he markets himself. It's not just a band, it's a whole record label, a clothing line, a devoted official fan club.... Wentz is more of a movement than a person.
I'm in it for Patrick, anyway. xD
Your icon ftw today. Yes, little beer mug, that is my plan.
How do yours generally work?
:)
