More about the cuddly boys in bands

Doing more reading this evening, and I mentioned to Zee about ANOTHER one of the perks of choosing this for my fun reading fandom is the easy access to all the sweet underage stuff! And this came up:

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: also, you know, re: underage -- i think it says something quiting touching of how pure my ds love is that i've been this passionate and devoted to it for this long despite it's almost complete lack of my biggest button.
[livejournal.com profile] ficbyzee: ....wow, it does.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: also, it's kind of hilarious that at this point, mostly people probably know me FROM ds fandom, and know nothing about my penchant for sullen teenage boys.
[livejournal.com profile] ficbyzee: yes! it is hilarious!
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: *eyes you* are you making fun of me?
[livejournal.com profile] ficbyzee: ...no?
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: hee, okay!
[livejournal.com profile] ficbyzee: um. actually not.
[livejournal.com profile] ficbyzee: sarcasm and honesty sound similar on the internet!

Seriously, it is funny! Because, uh, I'm not really all that subtle about it, but it just hasn't come up that often in the fannish contexts I've been in lately. Heh.

(Back in the day for me being, like, 2003. I realize for lots of you back in the day means, like, 1997. Or, I don't know, back when there were zines and dinosaurs roamed the earth.)

See, 2003 can be "back in the day" for me. 1997 is "way back in the day".

I honestly forget a lot that I'm not the baby generation of fandom anymore. Makes me feel old. But I comfort myself by thinking of myself as the petulant teen generation of fandom.

Dude, me too! Actually, I still think of myself as young than everybody else, so I get a little shock everytime I go to someone's profile and see they were born in 86 or 87 or something.

Seriously. I can't comprehend that people born in '87 are legally adults now. They are permanently grade schoolers to me.

My baby sister, born 4/89, is about to turn 18. I have no words.
