rawumber, I am actually working tonight (and tomorrow and possibly Sunday). :(

Bitching

Family has gone mad. Embrace of crackpot "cures" has commenced.

On day 6 without a break from work.

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope
Dude, seriously? I need distracting because otherwise my entire family is going to get an earful from me about the aforementioned crackpot cures.

Distract me, please, I don't care how. Ask me a question, introduce yourselves, leave a rec, ask for a rec, post a picture, whatever. Something. Please.

I love you, and I'm sorry it's all so awful. ):

I find vidding terribly useful as a distraction, but it sounds like you may be working too much for that, so here's a question instead: How did you get into fandom?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

I would vid, but somewhere along the line, my mother broke my external harddrive which has a) all my video files and b) is the only thing I have big enough to work with Premiere.

I would also have put up a mix, but my mp3s are also on the harddrive. It's all very tragic.

It depends. The first time I consider myself as having gotten into fandom, it was for the New Warriors comic out of Marvel. I was...twelve. And then AOL went all wonky and I had to quit. Then I was at NYU and I did a search on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and got the Slayer Fanfic site. I joined BBETA and Willfic and then in...January of that year, I got back with an actual computer of my own and went into IRC's #willfic where I met isabeau, kidchyron, katemonkey, and assorted others.

Broken hard drive! Noooo! ): I really hope it's fixable. ::crosses fingers::

Thanks for answering my question. Buffy seems to have been the second big wave of Internet fandom, after TXF (which is when I came in).
