feeling: drained
hearing: When The Rain Begins To Fall - Age Pee
I've been back on LJ for awhile now, I just haven't posted anything in here. I don't really use it.
But mainly, this is just an out.
I've realized that my tastes have changed over the past year. I started 2007 in full-fanbrat mode over a damn RPS. Vam. I honestly am the little teenage girl that threw a shitfit that their "love" was getting married, and so of course, though that what him and his best friend had was ~*~ TRU LUV ~*~.
Now, I realize how stupid I was. I had a true obsession with him, and through all the therapy and hospitalization I went through, I can now look back on myself and laugh.
I don't think I'll ever let myself back into Vam. All I did was feel like a lie when I was there. Sure, I loved the fandom, but I felt as if I had to lie about who I was to get anywhere because of how wanky it would get. Especially with the older members against the younger.
So here's the truth.
I'm not whatever I said I was. In all honestly, I'm a nearly fifteen year old girl with obvious issues. In fact, to be specific, when I first joined the communities, I think I was actually still thirteen. I'm through with lying about it. I'm a young teenager with the maturity to pass as older on the Internet.
But honestly. I don't think I need to be over eighteen to enjoy what I like. I started reading smut and everything of the sort at about nine. I know the correct terms to use for fanfics. I know when writing gay smut not to have the characters "jam it in". I mean, I go on 4chan and AFF almost daily. Don't feed me that "BUT UR UNDER 18 THAT'S WRONG" bull; I'm not the first or the last to do it.
Now, I'm in what I feel is more relaxed fandoms. PW, MGS, Gravitation, Kingdom Hearts, even the tiny bit of Death Note knowledge I have; I don't feel like I have to be an adult to enjoy the fandom. I mean, for fuck's sake, excluding Metal Gear Solid, everything is marketed for teenagers that I'm into. I'm not afraid of anyone's opinion of me in them because they aren't stuck-up fanbrats like the old things I was into.
Granted, none of you on my f-list are fanbrats, otherwise I wouldn't like you enough to add you. But you get what I'm saying.
So. If I use this journal anymore, it's not going to be as who I "was" before. It's the real person I am, idiot child or not.
tl;dr: I'm not lying about who I am on LJ anymore, a formal goodbye to Vam fandom, FUCK YEAH VIDEO GAME/ANIME FANDOMS. <3
