do you see a pattern here?... LOL

Just spent almost an hour and a half on the phone, discussing fic ideas and other fandom-related stuff. And internet craziness in general. And how being passionate about something makes people more attractive than mere looks ever could. And how you don't choose your family, but the friends who are crazy about the same stuff you are crazy about become the "chosen" family, and suddenly you can't imagine life without them. So no, apparently it's not just me who feels that way. *breathes*

At that rate, I'm gonna have to buy more prepaid minutes soon. Or switch to a monthly plan, probably, with some sort of automatic reload. Life's so funny - a few weeks ago, I thought I was never ever going to use all those minutes, and I'd just have to keep buying the lowest possible amount before each deadline, so that my service doesn't expire. Me? Chat on the phone for hours?... More than once a month (let alone a week!)?... Which alternate universe are we in?... LOL.

Well... a strange but exciting one, it seems. Anyway... that was random, but it just sort of typed itself. Need to recharge now, so good night.

Oh, it's definitely not just you. :) Maybe my being an only child, and having been very housebound around the time we got the internet makes a difference too, but there's really something special about being able to find friends based on the things that obsess you.

Well, I was sort of housebound too when I moved to the US 11 years ago - stuck at my parents' place (in a remote suburb) for months with no job, no car and no driver's license... It was then that I got really addicted to the internet. No surprise - it was pretty much my only connection to the things and people I cared about. I even suspect that the intensity of my VC obsession had something to do with the fact of not having much else to hold on to, emotionally, at the time... Regardless, though, it's fantastic to know I'm not alone.:D

I definitely believe that certain obsessions need to be shared at some point, to remain constructive, I think. It's like a magic loophole between some alternate universes when it happens, when some things actually fall into place - interacting, finally connecting and all that. All hails to the internets. So happy for you! <3
