I haven't been on Myspace in AGES, lol. I actually frequent Facebook a lot more, but I haven't really been around the social networking scene a lot lately. That is of course, if you count Twitter, and Livejournal, but none of you guys (meaning my real life friends) follow me on there, so it's no biggie.
I think it's funny that besides Monika (Aren't you glad I singled you out? ;D), my online friends know more about my real life than any of you guys do. And the fact of the matter is, I feel more confortable that way. I update my Livejournal basically every other day with updates on my life, not to mention, I don't have to feel ashamed about talking about my fangirlish ways. Yes, I am very active in the online TV fandom scene.
What have I been doing outside of school lately? Watching X-Files. In case you didn't know, that's 9 seasons, 20 episodes each. Count em up. This show started in 1993, and ended in 2002, with two films. X-Files has been deemed one of the most influential and popular shows in the 1990's. And I can see why. Too bad I was too caught up in Pokemon in the 90's to be watching. (Plus, I was like 6.) Starting next week, all my shows on primetime television return for new seasons, so I'm excited. Really though, it would be nice to fine some people in real life who watch the same shows as me, so I can fangirl to them and have them respond. xD
In fact, the reason I feel more comfortable there is because I can talk about whatever and whoever in my real life that I want. This is a true luxury. And I can choose to put some posts on private (for people who are 'Friends') or public for everyone to read. Twitter as well. I've actually become really good friends with them. Being able to say what you're feeling, and for people to objectively respond is really a relief sometimes. People to console you with comfort, without judgement.
Seems like while my real life and friendships leave something to be desired, by online life and friendships are thriving.
my livejournal - don't worry, you're not going to find anything about me I wouldn't want you to find. There's a reason you can onlyy see 50% of the posts. ;)
