foxmonkeyWell, pandemonium might be a bit harsh. Unglaring introspection, certainly. Is this the way to usher in JC Month? Hell no! But, as others are contemplating the ins or outs of which their umbilicals were once attached, so too shall I indulge in a bit of fannish navel gazing (innie).
JC, dammit! Some numbnuts at the JJB expressed disbelief of the sort labeled, "get a life!" when I mentioned that I'd taken Monday-Wednesday (Thursday?) off for JC's album release. I knew I'd *never* be able to concentrate at work, so I made the choice. Not sure what she was all up in arms about since I'm a homeowner, taxpayer, wife, and wage-earner (40+ hours a week sometimes), so "a life" is something I've got plenty of, thanks. I get three weeks of paid vacation a year. My time, well-earned, to do with as I please. I chose to spend it with Mr. Chasez. And damn, it was well worth it. It was one of the most fabulously squee-ifying times I've spent in this fandom, and I wouldn't change a thing.
JC, dammit! CHICAGO!!!!! I haven't written about this yet, but I surely will soon. You know what I liken Chicago to? Church. The Right Reverend Joshua Scott Chasez was preaching his ass off; he had us all in the palm of his sweet little hand, and baby, there was absolutely nowhere else I wanted to be.
Chicago moment: Let's talk about the crowd pogo during 100 Ways. HOLY FRIGGIN' BEJEEBERS. I mean honestly. I can't even explain how that felt. The floor was shaking, JC was popping, *we* were popping right there with him...it was magic. Sheer magic. Damn scary too, because between moments of bliss, I kept thinking about that Israeli wedding where the floor collapsed and about 300 people were killed. I've never felt a floor bounce like that. The energy was amazing. The man is a god. I've got to see him again. Got to.
NSync, dammit! I've seen them in concert twice, and that's not nearly enough. We've all read the interviews, seen the interviews...there's nothing else like the five of them. Though I was a fan of JC's from like, five seconds in, it wasn't their looks that drew me in, it was their personalities and the way they play off each other. I love the way they're regarded by their peers, that no one's ever had anything bad to say about them. Their work ethic and dedication to what they do simply can't be touched. They've always made me proud to be a fan. And I'm *still* a fan. I'm not going anywhere.
Now...Rupert's my first other-fandom icon. Why? I like Harry Potter. I've been reading the fic for a year or so, I've read the books, I've seen the movies. The kid's a great actor. I certainly hope that my HP/Rupert love doesn't cause me to be shunned by the sparkly fandom - if it does, well, I'd hate to be unfriended because of it, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I'm sure I've been unfriended for less. Won't be the first time, won't be the last time.
Hmmm. I guess that's it, though you're no doubt thinking it's more than enough, shut up already, you cow! To which I say: moo.
JC!

Hey, are you aware of the Harry thingie on A&E tomorrow night? I have no idea what's involved, but there must be interviews with the kids. They showed a little of shaggy!Rupert, and it looked a bit like the ABC interview thingie.
Knowing me I'll forget until halfway through. ;-p

One day we should do a fic rec exchange. One Harry/Ron for one Harry/Snape.

Hmmm. I can do that. I've read a Ron/Snape and liked it and *never* would have believed that would be possible, so maybe, just maybe, there's a Harry/Snape out there I could get through. ::twitch:: Maybe.

Date: 2004-06-01 05:52 pm (UTC)And stop twitching!!! :p

Date: 2004-06-01 06:01 pm (UTC)Yes, post-Hogwarts, please. Uhm, I think Seventh year might be the earliest I could go.
Would you rather have a Ron/Harry or Ron/Draco rec? Or Ron/Snape? Ron/Sirius? ;-)
And stop twitching!!! :p
I caaaaaaaaan't. I think about it and my legs and arms start flailing. What's that curse? Tarantellagrasomethingorother? That's what Harry/Snape is for me. Instant Tarantellagra. ;-p

Date: 2004-06-01 06:08 pm (UTC)Ron/Snape? ::twich:: ::twich::
Ron/Sirius? ::twich:: ::twich:: ::twich::
Harry/Ron, please. I think I can handle that. Or does my excessive twitching mean I havee to read one of those other pairings?

Date: 2004-06-01 06:16 pm (UTC)That's *exactly* what it means. Hmmm, I'll look through my links and see if I can find one of each that won't scar (or scare) you too badly. ;-p Embrace the Ron love!

I can't remember if I've given you these links before or not, but in any case, I know you haven't read them. ;-p
Ron/Sirius: A '57 Vincent And A Red-Headed Boy, by Icarus
Ron/Snape: Far Too Personal, by Icarus
I'm off to find you some Harry/Snape!
Now it's *my* turn to sob. Picking just the right R/D and R/H will take some thinking. Don't want you to run screaming, after all. ;-)
