Successful procrastination techniques and shameless fandom pimping.
Somehow I ended up with a girl from New Zealand sitting next to me. No, really. She's actually staying with a friend of mine for a couple of weeks, but said friend called me today, sounding rather desperate, going "OMG, Dani, I have this really urgent appointment and I have to go to Neumünster tonight, WHAT DO I DO WITH HER?" And because I'm such a nice person *coughs* and because it's a good reason to procrastinate my studying, she's now here.

And I had to figure something out to keep the two of us entertained, so I introduced her to DeRo, AS YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE A VISITOR WHO CAME ALL AROUND THE WORLD. So I forced her to watch Gay Boys With Issues all day, with the pleasant but of course completely unintended side effect that I had to watch as well.

She pretended not to get the hype pretty convincingly, going "Uhm yeah, they're cute, but what's the point?" - until now. Now she's sitting next to me, pricking and tickling me to get me away for the computer, so she can continue watching. I guess it is true, there's no way to escape the charms of Fandom. And I enjoy corrupting people. :)

(On a different note, it's making me nervous and confusing me big time, to have someone watching me typing in English and noticing every single mistake I make, while refusing to just freakin' correct me, already.)

Cheers!

Hahahahah, that is BRILLIANT. You deserve a pimping award of some sort!

And also, YAY for the Kiwi DeRo fanbase growing! *g* I had a surreal experience a few months ago when my girlfriend (who'd mentioned me subbing a German soap at some point) was asked by a coworker if "that soap your gf is subbing" was about figure skaters, because one of HER friends had (independently) become addicted and was trying to get her to watch it. It's like a freaking domino effect!

But srsly, that's the best way ever of spending time with someone you don't know and ruining their lives with bizarre obsessions :D

Oh God, that IS surreal. And scary! In moments like that I'd be like "Oh shit, what are we creating here?!" Not that it isn't made of total win, but yeah... surreal. beyond expectations. scary. so many people getting together to follow this and it all wouldn't be there if it wasn't for you.

And omg did we have fun yesterday during our little DeRo-marathon. If ruining people's lives is always like that, I'll do it more often!
