Fandom and me -- Part 2
May. 26th, 2009 01:27 amLately, I'm feeling kind of left out, again. This time, it's not so much of me wondering if I'm a fan (I've decided that I am, even though I'm mostly silent), but more of my different takes on things.
( Fanfics and fandom and my reactions to them. )
(Just to be clear, I'm not upset or anything. This is more of me wondering why.)

I'm this and I'm that...oh wait.
Dec. 27th, 2008 12:06 am(It seems like this is the last remotely think-y post that can be teased out of me in a while. Oh well. I can't decide if this is a good or bad thing.)
I look at stuff I enjoy reading and/or watching, and find majority of them dealing with secret identity/other identity, whether by real physical transformation or just plain old disguise or simply a case of mistaken identity--where character X is thought to be someone else, whether by deliberate deception (not so fond of this type for mistaken identity), or something that simply happens because the events sort of lead to it.
Anyway, got inspired by some comments in a comm; at least a few things I like about secret identity stories/series. This post is not series-specific, hopefully, though, to be fair, I would have to note that the comm I mention is fandom-specific.
( lies and disguises )
( I guess this is the big reason I like the Japanese language. )
Conclusion to all this? I have too much fun seeing character X trying to keep his/her two identities straight, be it by the language or manners or anything else. (My favorite character has two cell phones--for each of his identities. :)
( Maybe a future post, if I ever get around to making sense of what I have written. )

So I guess I'll continue to type my way and not try to force change myself to be something I'm not comfortable with, as well as try to not take things too seriously. I like to think I've been writing more or less in the same way, after all.
That little bit of self-revelation aside, the next paragraph would seem rather odd, since I originally put in aself-indulgent poll about the current mood, location, and music (on LJ entries) in this space. Maybe I'll put that poll (and my answer) in a separate entry if I still think so strongly about it.
( Japanese songs I listen to )
( Japanese names I like )
( Two sentences on English in Japanese songs )
I like strikethroughs at least as much as parentheses today, it seems. Ha. I can't seem to state things directly today.
