Why is Life So Complicated -- Part II

I MISS OBSESSIVE FANDOM!

I MISS SPIKE!

What's so good about obsessive fandom (and Spike love) is that it gave something to obsess over other than my own life (er... huh... that means I feel a need to obsess over something doesn't it? I don't know if that's a good thing. Hmm).

But, yeah, fandom, BtVS, AtS, whatever gives something frivolous and inconsequential in the larger scheme of things to still care about passionately and it still all be harmless. It's such a wonderful distraction from real life.

Sniffle.

I Miss Spike! Whaaaaa!

Regarding same sex marriage (which isn't in this thread but on yours but I don't feel like going through to find it again.) It'll come in time. I'm reasonably certain of that. It's becoming very widely accepted. I personally feel that it should already be okayed, but social change takes time. So while I feel that way, I do realize there's still pockets of extremely strong resistance, so the ambivalence about it in politics makes sense to me because there are chunks of population who are strongly against it.

Still, I believe that society is quickly mainstreaming it and with the mainstreaming comes acceptance, so it'll come. And I think that activists will help it. But I think it's a process and eventually it will win out in the end.
