A note about fandoms

As most of you probably know, in the past few months I have recently become very involved in the StarKid fandom. That, inevitably, comes with the Harry Potter and Glee fandoms mixed in and I'm fine with that. While there are many things I love about this fandom, there are also some things that annoy me that I need to get off my chest so this blog is just going to be my thoughts on fandom things. If you're on tumblr this may make more sense but I'll try to make it make sense for everyone, hopefully it'll work.

Ever since joining tumblr I have found some amazing pictures/gifs/information/people relating to StarKid etc. and there is an amazing sense of community on there. You can connect to someone anywhere in the world purely because you love the same group of  people. Tumblr is the place where you are almost garenteed to find at least one person who thinks in a similar way to you, someone you never thought you would be able to talk to. It really is a great website if you are a big fan of anything. There are also a lot of amazing people on there. Mostly it is a site for teenagers but, in between the drama and mess there is some great writing, some amazing projects and some great friends on there.

There is one bad thing about it mostly being teenage girls. The drama. Unfortunately, some people on tumblr seem to think they should send anonymous hate to people who are usually already quite sensitive. There is one particular person involved in the StarKid fandom that recieves a lot of hate because she has been lucky enough to meet and befriend the StarkKids in a way that most of us will not be able to. I don't know exactly what the hate she gets is like but I know that it can get very bad. To me, this is a product of jealousy and the fact that a lot of people wish they could have the experiences she has had. In my opinion, one of the reason she gets this is because this fandom is mainly made up of teenage girls and with all the hormones etc. we have to deal with, jealousy is a natural thing. Therefore, I feel like the hate is something that naturally happens, it doesn't mean that I am excusing these things or that I feel that they are rite in any way but I feel like it's an explanation for it. But that's just my theory, I might be wrong, I might be rite, I don't know. I must say, I have never experienced hate personally (touch wood and thank god) so I'm not actually speaking from personal experience, just what I have observed over time.

Something that just generally annoys me about the StarKid fandom is that some people seem to think they have the right to judge other fans because of how they came to be fans. A lot of people found StarKid through Glee and a lot of fans seem to feel as if knowing Darren and Team StarKid before Glee makes them special in the fandom. This particularly annoys me because I only discovered the amazingness of them after Darren was on Glee. I knew of them but it wasn't until I saw Darren on Glee that I thought I'd give AVPM another go and I loved it! But I hated seeing the comments saying "Like if you knew them before Glee" etc. because it made me feel bad that I was a new fan and not someone who was with them from the start. I still feel a bit like that to be honest. I don't feel like I can really be proud of Darren's success because I didn't know him before he was famous. I hate that I feel like that but I just do, I don't know if it will ever change.

This was more of a blog about tumblr, instead of the fandom but to me it's the same thing so there you go!

I should post.

So, I've not been posting much for a few days. Mostly because I couldn't be bothered but also because I have nothing to say. I just don't have anything to blog about really, but I feel like I should blog, so I am...
Knowing me though, I'll probably find a lot to say in this blog, because my mind seems to explode like that sometimes.

So, I'm going to do a prom update because it's next week and I have quite a lot of news! Today I had my practice prom hair appointment and I'm happy with it! I have a picture that I'll post at the end of this paragraph, so I now know how my hair is going to be, good times. Also, today the prom dress shop called to say that my dress is ready! Yayayayayayayayyyy! I'm going in tomorrow to pick it up. I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but a few weeks ago I had my fitting and all the alterations are done now! So, we're going to pick it up tomorrow some time, fun times! I can't believe that prom is a week on Thursday! That's like soon and stuff. I know. Mid = blown.
So, this is my prom hair...

Okay, prom, girlyness over now! Sorry, Dan if you're reading this, I'm sad you can't go to prom :(

Anyway, what else have I been up to recently? Not much really, I don't actually have to do anything so I'm not doing that much really. Mainly I've been on the laptop creeping on StarKids and what-not. StarKid has pretty much taken over my life right now. As of today I have 2 fanfictions partly written. I tried to carry on with an old one today but I just wasn't in the mood I guess, it just wasn't going well so I gave up because it wasn't going anywhere. I decided to try starting another one but that didn't go that well either. So I guessI wasn't in the fanfic writing mood today.

I have been seriously creeping on the StarKids recently, probably a bad passtime but it's far to enjoyable to give up! It's probably bad all round but I just kind of want to be them a lot and that doesn't help. So, yeah, I think I need to see my friends more!

Also, I'm kinda loving tumblr a lot right now, seriously it's awesome. Just sayin'

I have now run out of things to say. I had a today was awesome because but I forgot it...so here's a different one!

Today was awesome because: I discovered this blog: http://imnotsadtoday.tumblr.com/ which is probably one of the best things on the internet. Ever.
I REMEMBERED IT YAYAYA SO...
Today was ALSO awesome because: I did the washing up in my prom heels whilst blasting out music because I could (and my mum said that if I don't wear my heels everyday from now until prom she won't let me go to prom)

I sucks. Once again :)

So I haven't blogged in forever! Yes, I suck. I haven't blogged much mainly because I haven't had much to say. I've been tired and lazy most of the week to be honest so I didn't blog much because I didn't do much.But I just had to blog today. I will do a full re cap but I have to start with yesterday...

Yesterday night was one of the best nights of my life. Seriously. It was amazing. I haven't actually told you what happened, so here we go. I went to see the amazingness that are All Time Low live, like in the flesh, I WAS IN THE SAME ROOM AS ALL TIME LOW. Yes, incase you haven't gathered I'm still not fully un excited about it. Sorry, fangirling it out right now. I'm just thinking, this time yesterday we were on our way to see the amazingness! I can not believe we were in the same room as Alex and Jack and everyone! So, actual review thing of the concert coming up now. We arrived, got in the short que, only to be told that that was the early entry que that only special people could go in, and aparently we aren't special enough so we had to walk, like a mile down past the place and wait in a frickin huge line for about half an hour till the doors opened about 10 minutes after they were suposed to. Once we got in and sat down the first support act, Young Guns, came on. They were a bit meh, not very good to be honest but they were just a warm up act so its all good. Then, once they had finished Yellow Card came on. They were really good! Its kind of weird being at a concert and not knowing any of the songs, you can't really tell what the songs are like properly. After they went the amazingness of All Time Low came on and were just amazing, like, wow. One of my friends cried when they came on and cried at the end. I can not actually believe how amazing they were. I wish I was Alex and Jack's turkey...
And that won't make any sense to you unless you were there. What is really amazing is that Alex tweeted and said that we were the best show of the tour! I, personally agree! Afterwards we got cheap T-shirts outside because my friend's sister is awesome! I can't wait to wear it tomorrow!

So, yesterday was just probably one of the best days/nights of my life. Just saying. I can't actually remember every day since I blogged last but here are some highlights. Texted a possible future boyfriend, got my science results back (2 As and 1 A*), had very slow internet and got fast internet back. You can see why 'I haven't blogged.

I am sorry for deserting you interwebz but I am hopefully back!

Today was awesome because: I went to see ALL TIME FIRGGIN LOW yesterday AND I learnt how to use "Text background colour"
