Because, you know what? I've made some of the best friends I've ever had because of fandom. They enrich my lives every single day. Heck, I just got off the phone with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baylorsr because she just had to ask me why, if Manticore was so awesome, they didn't put any trackers in its super-soldiers? The question had been plaguing her for hours. She also told me that she's half-way through with Twilight and she thinks Edward should just go ahead and eat Bella.
We had a good laugh, it was fun. ;-) And that's only one example of all of the awesome things that have happened to me because of fandom and not inspite of it.
Like, for another example, there was the time thathiyacynth came down to help me move into my current apartment and we mainlined season one of The O.C.. When the Baylor Sisters showed up we were bawling our eyes out at the season finale and they mocked us mercilessly. But they got theirs when they watched the season and were crying their eyes out when the season finale rolled around. They called hiyacynth in tears and both begged her forgiveness and yelled at her for "making" them watch it.
It was a beautiful moment of vindication. =D
So, why don't you all tell me about one (or more) of your favorite fandom memories. It can be cyber or RL, funny or meaningful. Let's remind ourselves of why we're here in the first place and how spectacular it really is.
