Sappy post is sappy.

*yawns*

Okay, I haven't even left my house for 95% of the weekend and I'm still so incredibly sleep-deprived it's not even funny anymore. That actually says everything.

No Horde Left Behind was the most amazing thing ever! (Okay, next to GOOL itself, probably.)
So I really need to say this: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, SHELLY AND KATE, OMG! *capslocks madly*
Until I learned about NHLB, I was thinking this weekend would be, like, extremely unsparkly and I'd have to be really grumpy the whole time.
Instead there's this ****ing amazing thing. Marathoning with everyone even brightened the Dark Years. Everything was fun, really, Hordes even turn usually dull chatty smalltalk like "How did you get your nickname?", "Where are you from?", yadda yadda interesting. And I have about a dozen new friends on YT, LOL.
And when I went to bed yesterday - and I was really tired, mind - I couldn't even sleep but kept grinning like a lunatic.
So thank you, thank you, thank you, Hordes. You're the best fandom ever, I'm so glad to be a part of it!!! *noserubs all around*

Still, next time there'll be an event like that (and I was literally promised there would be!) I'm going to be there. Even if it probably means selling a kidney and my grandma. Everything comes with strings attached, after all.

*loves everyone madly*

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!
