1) Working from home today because it seemed like the thing to do when I woke up this morning. Also, today is my only day without meetings, so I'll make the most of it.
2) I've been meaning to write up a little thing on LJ friending and why I haven't done much of it yet. I might run around friending people one of these days, but I'm cautious about friending people. Veronica Mars was my first-ever fandom, and I jumped on LJ and friended a bunch of smart people who had cool things to say about VM. The only problem was, I didn't have much in common with a lot of them otherwise. It made me uncomfortable after a while to have a flist mostly populated by people I liked and respected, but who mostly only wrote LJ posts I didn't feel compelled to comment on. After a while, I felt like a voyeur on most of those journals. Fortunately I did retain a few friends from that time period. I'm a little more cautious about friending people now, though.
I don't think there's much danger of repeating my past mistakes, though, because here's the thing: Lo, those many years ago, when I first discovered fandom, I didn't realize I was a slasher. (I know, SOOOO SILLY, RIGHT???) Now that I've focused my attention primarily on the slash-friendly side of fandom, I've discovered there are a lot of bright, interesting fangirls who like a lot of the same things I do. And who probably won't mind if my own personal contribution to the fannish conversation is primarily squee. And probably picspam. And I'm working on figuring out what makes a good batch of screencaps , so that I can start to post Profit caps. And maybe if I get my act together, I'll organize myself enough to start rec'cing fic publicly, outside of email. That might not happen for a long time, though.
I mean, I'm not a writer, and I don't often feel the urge to write deep meta, but fandom needs cheerleaders, too.
3) Watched Profit this weekend. Yay Profit!! No fabulous meta thoughts yet. Just bullets:
( Spoilery, I guess, for all of ProfitCollapse )
That is all. See? Deep thoughts.

If not, that's fine. Just thought it was worth a try.
Thank you!…
