Nov. 15th, 2006 05:52 pmSum up your former/current fandoms in a few sentences, as if they were human beings/very convincing sockpuppets on your flist. Guess which fandom I'm talking about!
1) When we first met I was really nervous what my friends would think about me hanging out with you. I mean you were so trendy and mainstream and liked Starbucks better than Peets and they were all fantasy geeks and academic nerds. Fortunately for the most part it seems like everyone has been able to see past the Cosmo subscription to was a sweet lovable and pretty person you really are and even though you had be worried last spring with that boyfriend of yours, for the most part we get along better than I have with almost anyone else.
2)You might have noticed I don't really call you that much any more, and I admit it's intentional. I just don't feel that same excitement about our hanging out these days. I keep running into you everywhere though, I swear I can't leave the house without you being at the grocery store or at every party I am invited to. I guess it makes sense since you pretty much know EVERYONE. I mean we've had some good times, and I am still interested to see who you grow up to be. So I know this isn't goodbye, even though I didn't write drown your new cell number or anything.
3)Every time we get together is a blast and you are just so beautiful and hillarious and full of power and I honestly don't see how anyone could ever fire you and not see what a valuable asset you could be. I'm wary of a lot of your friends, because I swear they know a completely different you than I do, but it's not cause I think you are two faced or something.
4) Being the first born child has some definite pros and cons. Yes you may have aged awkwardly but I think you turned out alright in the end. It's not your fault that daddy left you with the nanny a lot. Sometimes you are a bit noxious and anvil like but I love you even if I am a bit too intimdated by your intense and colorful conflicted life story to presume to know you well enough to be able to talk about you properly a lot of the time.
5) Sometimes I feel sort of bad for sneaking out with you after curfew because your father seems like a really awesome person. I can't help it though because I can't stop thinking about you, even when I don't see you for years and years, and I'd do just about anything to see more of you. You're so conplex and integuing and your morality is so dubious and yet ever present and I can't decide which aspects of your personality to encourage and what to disown and so I just stare in awe and let you break my heart and make me an outlaw.
6) Baby, sometimes I think you set yourself up for failure. I don't really know where you are headed these days and I worry you don't either and I want more for you. I know college is a time for experimentation but there's no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I worry about your tendacy to act out violently to hide your insecurity and the fact that you are at a loss for words. I think you waste your energy trying to have too many friends as opposed to really be there for a chosen few. I want to believe in you love, because I think you are capable of great things, but it doesn't seem like you are working towards them. How can I trust it you when you don't trust in yourself.
7) Sometimes I really worry about the way you see women, even though I think you mean well. The idealization is sort of freaky.... also the victimization. I've seen you show such growth though, and sometimes I am not sure where you are going or think you are running around in circles, but I know you're trying and in general you have a better grip on reality than your siblings. You've come so far, sometimes in the wrong direction and sometimes in the right one, and I have to respect you for that. This all sounds so lukewarm though, and really I love you to bits... you just intimidate me and I am always afraid I am misreading you and forgetting an important part of your family history.
8)So you were a friend of a friend and I enjoyed chilling with you even though you made me a litle uncomfortable, and it's been a while now and whenever I hang with you it's warm fuzzy positivity, even if I don't feel the same obsessive kind of feelings as I do with some other people. I think it's healthy.
9) We've never really been close, even though you've dated on some level another most of my friends. recently you've been at a lot of gatherings and even though I know you broke some of my nearest and dearest friends' hearts I've actually be enjoying your company lately. Don't even think about trying to start something with me though, I know too much about your evil ways to buy your lines.
10) Somehow I never thought to think of you in a social sense before a few months ago, and I still haven't gotten aroudn to inviting you out with the gang much but last time I thought was a sucess and I'm hoping to repeat it even if I know that you suck at following through on the big promises you always make.
