A lot of people don't get fandom. They don't understand how we can care so much about something, be so totally devoted to a film or a book or a TV show that we would do things they consider embarassing to show our support and become involved in something we admire.
On the weekend, for about 10 minutes, I was seriously considering buying a plane ticket to Melbourne to depart in 2 hours time just so I could try to get into a preview screening of Brokeback Mountain. I was just telling that story to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
king_avellmon and I decided this must be what love feels like. I've never been in love, not with a person, but I think I've been in love with movies. I think I'm in love with Lord of the Rings (maybe even the cast), and Firefly, and Brokeback Mountain. If that makes me weird or geeky or pathetic, so be it. You know what? It's never going to disappoint me.
Oh, and my birthday was great! I had a lovely and very healthy lunch of chips and caked with my friends and a birthday dinner of salmon and cake with my family. I LOVE CAKE. I bought DVDs and Tom and Nina stole me a street sign (Sirius Place) and Kathy bought me Revenge of the Sith so I can perv at Hayden and Ewan and play the "You were my brother! I loved you!" line repeatedly and pretend the rest of the movie never existed. I also bought Pulp Fiction & Wonder Boys and received the Indiana Jones boxset and THE LOST BOYS (OMG YAY!), so it was a very DVD-centric birthday. I bumped intoritergirl working at the DVD store and she looks great. I did have to work, but it was okay, and Oscar gave me a piece of paper folded in half that said "Happy Birthday" on it XD So yeah, lovely day, thanks to everyone for your birthday wishes!
ETA: OMG COULD IT BE TRUE? Possible BEST NEWS EVER!
