I shall now define for you: fandom insanity.

Fandom insanity is when you're watching your taped episode of LAX from earlier in the week, and there's this scene where the cop goes into the airport bookshop, and you grab for the remote, and go through the scene frame-by-individual-thumbpush-frame because you think you just might have seen a flash of something--and after about two hundred thumbpushes, there, in one blurry little shot of the bookshelves, is, not only the copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix you thought you saw, but you realize from the scale around it that it's not the book, it's the book-on-CD--and you do this little dance because you were right, and you can't bring yourself to even unfreeze the screen until you run to your lj and type a post telling everyone about it.

Ay yi yi yi yi.

In other news, thanks to everyone who said nice things about the Harry and Draco dolls--I might make more fandom dolls but I'm probably going to start off with a few nonfandom ones that have been itching at my brain, now that I have the motivation back.

And giant thanks to the dear wonderful creature that [livejournal.com profile] notuilion remains--she coded every one of my [livejournal.com profile] pornish_pixies Fantasy Fest stories, out of nothing but good-deed-ism, all powers that be love her. So they're up on my website.

And if you've seen [livejournal.com profile] naamah99's hilarious menstruation rant, you'll understand this GIP:

You! *points* NERD!
And that's why I love you!
*Kisses cheek and dances the Nerd dance with you.*

Oh, and icon? Delightful!

And this ought to make you smile: I've got Snape's Rubber Duckie.

Actually, I've got eight of them. Don't quite know how that happened, as I only ordered three... Want one?

*dies laughing* Yes, I WOULD! That's insane! (Best friend sent me yellow rubber duck in a package of bath goodies last year. I'm envisioning the two of these eyeing each other on the shower caddy...)

Oh My God! I LOVE Archie McPhee...haven't thought about it in years, but I used to shop at their store when I lived in Washington...

Yep, a fandom whore for sure!

Certainly a fandom geek! Maybe a geek-whore. Is that one who dresses like a slut but wears thick glasses?

Yes! And gets shagged over the library desk.

LOL! I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't done the exact same sort of thing in other fandoms! ;-) And I deeply <3 that icon. It's perfect for that rant!!!! :-)

OH DEAR GOD, this is the first, the FIRST time I have actually noticed the "K A I" in that icon!!!

Hee. Fandom geeks are good to have around--we know canon facts, and will check timelines for you and stuff!
