I'm exhausted...

[sweetprince]

It has come to my attention that I'm allowing my stress to stress some people out, and thus prompted, I have decided it's time for filters. Hopefully I can remember to use them.

RL filterrr! I enjoy real life posts way more than fandom posts as a general rule.

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

ME TOO! I mean eventually there is nothing in fandom that has really not been said. Like my wankish post from yesterday, TOTALLY unnecessary.

[winterweathered.livejournal.com]

No, whatever, that was totally allowed.

But yes - with fandom posts, it usually goes one of two ways. I either read it and think "I agree with this person... and now I'm bored," or I read it and think, "I don't agree with this person at all, and - oh yes, there's that irrational rage boiling up inside me and - oh right, if I say anything I'm wanking or harshing squee and - oh hey, I loathe myself for even caring; what is wrong with my stupid brain."

Either way, BAD NEWS.

Or even worse, I agree with this person and wish I didn't, because THEY SUCK or THE THING WE ARE AGREEING ABOUT SUCKS. Like Eric Kripke's ability to sustain a story. And a character arc. And his fucking integrity. Er, well, I suppose it's hard to sustain something you never had.

OHMYGOD, stopping.

Also, people have interesting lives. I mean they really do. I always feel like my life is like I STAYED UP UNTIL SIX IN THE MORNING READING A RETARDED HORROR THEORIST WHO THINKS THAT FREUD IS AN ACCEPTABLE WAY TO JUSTIFY AN ARGUMENT. I'm not sure anybody wants to read that. SO I stopped posting that stuff for awhile, and then I went back and looked over my journal and I was like, oh man all this fannish crap makes me look forty times more empty.
