I've abandoned control ;)

Again, just a brief check-in because I feel bad about not being a very active LJ-er of late. I do read my flist, by the way - but I'm afraid I won't be doing much commenting in the forseeable future, unless someone posts something that absolutely REQUIRES a comment. Like I mentioned before, there has been a lot going on at my favorite comm over on Dreamwidth; and I'd rather invest my time in keeping up with that, because that's where my heart is at the moment.:) I have this giddy feeling of "OMG I'm in an active fandom that I actually care about" - and I haven't had that feeling since, I don't know... 2007 or 2008, maybe?... I'm making new friends and talking about stuff that really gets my brainwheels turning - and it's wonderful to the point of scary, at times. This was exactly what I wanted when I was whinging about lacking "mental stimulation" on here a few years back. I wanted people who were crazy about the same shit that I was crazy about - and BOOM!!!... here they are. It's almost a case of "be careful what you wish for", because I can barely keep up with all the posts and comments - let alone the ridiculously amazing private correspondence that has sort of sprung up on the side.;) Speaking of which - yes, I have more emails to respond to, and I'd sort of rather do that than ramble on here. But before I go, let me share a recent music discovery - another "side effect" of the whole thing. We were discussing music that would make a good soundtrack for certain characters/pairings, and someone mentioned 30 Seconds to Mars. Which has somehow slipped my attention until now. I mean, I knew that Jared Leto was in a band - but I guess I sort of dismissed it as another case of a famous actor playing at being a musician (this is NOT a reference to a certain notorious theatre-performing vampire, also known as Monsieur Le Rockstar...;D). Well... I was wrong. He's probably better as a singer than he is as an actor. He has a wicked hell of a voice, and he's not afraid to use it. And he certainly puts some drama into the performance.:) Here's proof - Stranger in a Strange Land. With lyrics. I chose this song because it so clearly evokes my favorite pairing...:)

In case of any doubts, here's a piece of fanart that I think goes perfectly well with it (found on Tumblr):

It's so awesome that you've found such a fandom community! I really miss sharing all the fandom hype with like minded people. It used to be like that back in time when I was active in Harry Potter fandom and many friends were there as well.

Lovely fan art picture too! :)

Sounds like you're totally sucked in ... haha ...
Hope you emerge sometimes to catch your breath! ;-)

Yes, it's an unforgettable feeling, and I really missed it, too. I had it for a few years in the LOTR fandom - but since I joined that fandom quite a bit later than most people, it sort of started to disperse before I was ready to let go of it. I still clung on, along with a tiny handful of other die-hard enthusiasts... but it just wasn't the same anymore. And the Vampire Chronicles fandom is so much smaller and harder to find online, I didn't even know it was still alive (or undead, as the case may be) until now...:P

Yes, I believe that would be a correct description.:D

I'll try... LOL.
