You know you're behind everything...

...if the lj display is on skip=80 and you can't remember having read the entries.

Job remains cool and interesting. Freelance work on the desk is good for the money but bad for the relaxation. My car was frozen at the inside(!) so I used my husband as taxi for all of the working week. Also, cuddling a hot water bottle right now because of TMI.

And look, there's SUN out there!

Last not least, sharing this picture that Julie sent me, noting that "they look so rumpled and toussled that I could just pinch their cheeks! (Either pair!)" I would too!



For good measure, this was the picture that inspired Julie to send me hers:



Ah, my boys!

Now...work.

Q&A,, fandom-related

Referring to catalenamara's posting about Fannish Migration.

The answers will only show that I'm a very boring fan with a 95% main fandom (aka TOS) and little on the side (other Trek).

Q: Have you ever followed friends/favorite authors into a fandom without ever having seen/read the source material?

No.

Q. Have you ever followed friends/favorite authors into a fandom while being indifferent to the source material?

No.

Q. Have you ever really enjoyed the source material, read the work of specific authors into a fandom, and yet have no interest in the fandom as a whole?

Supernatural may count here, as I read only very few authors (Killa mainly). I like the pretty boy pictures *G* including the RPS stuff. Also, some Harry Potter stuff.

As for Heroes, I read only few fics.

Q. Have you ever been strenuously pimped by your friends into another fandom and immediately fell in love with the source material.

No. I'd say the biggest pimping was done by my husband who brought X-Files and B5 into my life, but he's not fannish in the fandom way.

Q. Have you ever gotten into a TV show/movie before your friends and busily pimped the source material to them in the hopes that a fandom would ensue?

Heroes may count here, but I pimped the source mainly because I liked the source. I'm not heavily involved in the fandom.

Q. Have you ever gotten into a TV show/movie and tried to pimp it to your friends only to find out that they’d just gotten into it as well and were about to pimp right back?

Well, Trek? But I was a single small fan for decades without any contact to fandoms, and when I got here, everyone was already infected. Though when it comes to Trek pairings, I think I'm rather good at pimping and getting pimped by certain people.

Q: Have you ever been part of a mass migration into another fandom?

No.

(Told you I was boring. I'll keep my seat in trek fandom until it dies of old age. Seems there's one love of my life, and it's TOS. My one true, eternal love. Everything else is just a little amusement on the side.)
