Work is being such an ass today. It was already cranky yesterday but today is even worse. It's even more frustrating that I'm this close to solve the bloody problem except it just doesn't want to cooperate and it's apparently determined to drive me a bit insane *smites*

And the flist isn't cooperating either since everything is about the latest drama. No porn of any kind, sadly.

I have to say that, as a whole, I usually don't trust Fandom as far as wanks go. I mean, you know how much I love, nay, how much I adore Fandom, but it's not exactly known for being reasonable nor is it known for its level-headness. Or, at least, that's how I see it. Not to say everyone will agree.

So I usually just wait for the drama to be over and for everyone to go back to the important things, namely write fics and speak about shows and, why, yes I do have my priorities right, why? ;-) Except that this time it seems the drama was actually justified?

Well, not to the extremes I've seen some people go - though, hey, everyone is entitled to it, just because I might not agree doesn't mean I think people are wrong in how they react to things - but I've read some of the latest news/articles that were linked on the flist, as opposed to just spread rumours, and I can't say I liked what I read here, I'll admit. I don't know, I'm waiting to see where the whole thing is going - if it's going somewhere - and hoping some of the things I read aren't going to become a trend on LJ...

But, see, I couldn't be upset over the whole thing because with fandom it's a bit like the boy who cried wolf; wanks and mass panic ensue so often for no reason that I never know whether I'm supposed to look at things with a closer look on not. And also, I guess I usually don't take certain things as seriously as some people do. So, again, I'll just wait and see how things go...

Still, I'll be impatiently waiting for the ~~porn~~ calm to come back.

And on other news; I finally have my very own SPN s1 box-set! It was released yesterday and I went there with my fake!bdayvoucher but very real money and treated myself with the thing. It's shiny and pretty and it's all spn all the time and it has extras and it filled me with glee :-)

ETA: I've always been curious as to how many fandom oriented journals there could be on LJ and, thanks to

fandom_counts, we can now start to have an idea. As of this minute we're at ~~24061~~ ~~24126~~ ~~24127~~ 24166 and counting.

greedy_dancer, I can sorta understand your obsession with the refresh thing now lol It's pretty neat seeing the figure rise with each new click!

I also like how fandom is really just a small fish in the pond if you consider the majority of journals. Not that I ever doubted it but, I don't know, it amuses me in a way. Some fannish people have such a huge entitlement issue as far as LJ goes, it might put some things in perspective. Or not.

Oh, anyway, I don't care, I have to say lol As long as I have fun with my fannish flist, it's okay :-)

The journals and even communities were restored, weren't they? That's encouraging, at least. We'll see how it goes.

Well, like someone else noted, it would be better if we could add all the fannish communities to that community, since there's a lot of them, but it's technically impossible.

But yeah, it still wouldn't reach the millions I suppose. But we still matter. We pump a lot of money, for one. ;)

And now I can't post! Woe, we broke LJ.
