Mind wanderings, ramblings, randomness, the usual.

So I'm sitting here wondering why I always want to break grammatical rules and start sentences with a conjunction, as I just did. I see others do it all the time and I think, ugh, bad, and then I do it.

As I sit here eating fudge with a fork, I wonder why fudge shops are so often located in touristy places. I rarely see them elsewhere, which is a shame. Gourmet fudge is so good. Maybe it's a good thing I don't come across it very often. Yay for maple fudge.

The more I consider it, the more I realize that being crazy about a movie isn't strange or uncommon. I think I just thought it was weird that more people were not huge fans of some of the movies I am. The first time I saw Pride and Prejudice, I was completely floored. It was major love at first viewing. I can't think of another movie I loved that much, that quickly, not even Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. I convinced someone else to watch it, and he (maybe the fact it was a guy was the problem) totally didn't get it. I just watched it again last night with my sister, who had not seen it. Since it's been a few months since the last viewing, I could see how someone might just think it like any other movie. I think my sister liked it, but I know it wasn't HOLY CRAP LOVE like me. Still, there might be a movie she absolutely loves that I just think meh, or might not even like. Actually, she was pretty gung ho over The Osbournes and finally made me sit and watch one episode. I laughed, but was also sort of o_O afterwards. I guess fangirling loving a movie/book/tv show/musician/etc isn't weird. Not everyone will share the same feelings, that's all.

LOL I'm such a dork. XF was my first major fandom and I totally forget about it.

What are you doing this week, M, T or W? I go to CA on Thursday.

My friend, Anne, loaned me her copy of P&P, and I absolutely swooned over Mr. Darcy and the letter. "I love you most ardently" -- SWOON!
Love at first viewing, and we both went kookoo over it via email for the better part of a week.
Most of my online friends are connected to me because of an enormous love for Labyrinth. We could all easily get together and take characters on and do every single line from that movie. Easily. *chuckles*
*hugs* You are NOT alone.
Go check out [livejournal.com profile] bean_daily, and you'll see some REAL obsession. *chuckling*
