Random plus fangirling

 I'll never understand DW and font....

Random:

- Went to another protest on Saturday, and signed up to do Postcards tomorrow. 

- It's been a quiet weekend. Doris had to work yesterday. But 6 days till in-person game night!!

- Before the protest, I was on a work trip Monday- Wednesday. It went well. I received lots of compliments. And there were mandatory dinners on Mon and Tues, but I did fine. And I got on an earlier flight home on Wednesday! I think I participated well enough in the meeting


And, about that fangirling:

I did say that I was trying to move most of my fangirling stuff to Tumblr. But here feels better to write about the emotional side of it. So, on that...

• I think I am doing pretty well emotionally. A big part of my brain is in denial at the thought of my OTP eventually breaking up. I do believe they will be together for….at least a little while? At least a year or two? Pray I move on to something else before they split. For what it’s worth, they both seem like they really want to try to make it work. They’ve posted pics of them with their faces aged up, holding hands together like a couple of old ladies. Kori posted another pic of Lydia aged up saying “this is what I want to wake up next to in 2075”. He says on Cameo that he wants to grow old with Lydia and argue over oatmeal. But still…this relationship has not even hit the one year mark. 
• They finally announced a show that they are doing together. It's next month in NY, and I am going. And even better, my friend John can join me. He likes shows and has a good head on his shoulders. I'm glad he can make it. I will try to not go crazy with shows but if there is another one at a decent venue that I can get to, I'd like to book a trip to a second one too.
• I do crack up thinking back to the time when I first heard they were a couple and that voice in the back of my head said “nah, not gonna ship them”. Who was I fooling? I guess I didn't see how much I would come to love them individually and together.
• Also I see that I wrote, back at the start, that I'd never get as much content on these two as I did 12 years ago on the drag queen couple I shipped then. Wrong!  Kori is on Cameo and other social media 12 hours a day (as he says). He releases a new vlog once a week. There has been so much amazing content of the two of them. And I love it. And yes, I know, it kinda feeds the addiction. (Though I'd be obsessed even if there were less content).

Same on the DW and font!!! Also sometimes it looks all messed up when I'm typing it and then it looks fine when I post it. And other times, it's as messed up as it looked when I was typing it. NO idea.

Glad the work meeting went well, and yay for being back to postcards!

And sure, all the content from the vlogs and cameo feed the addiction, but I don't think you'd be less obsessed if there was less content. Plus I think it being 'current' helps with you being able to find an active community! Hopefully their relationship will continue to go well and when/if they split up, you'll have moved on to something different :) I mean, you can think/talk/write about it all you want, but at the end of the day, you know you can't talk yourself out of your fandom brain!

DW font makes no sense. Never does.

I need to book a second volunteer date for Postcards. Getting on an Indivisible call on Sunday.

Very true, if there was less content, I'd still be obsessed. I do like having all this content, definitely. And you summed it up perfectly - I can tell myself to back off but the fandom brain is gonna do what it's gonna do.
