So I sort of accidentally drifted away from fandom for...a long time. I mean, I've remained fandomish and lurked on the edges of Twitter and most recently Tumblr and I still troll through AO3 on a regular basis. But I'd gotten out of fandom as a community. Part of that I blame on fandom leaving LJ and not really going anywhere that I felt comfortable following but most of it I blame on me being super shy and not feeling comfortable really clipping myself onto someone or a group and letting them lead me to wherever. I'm still not super comfortable with that but I really want to try.
So I signed up for
pod_together . Because why wait? Also I've done that before and I'm okay with interacting with a few people. I figure over the next few days I'll probably start poking through people's profiles trying to find where they hang. Because I can be super creepy that way. Oops?
With that said, I'm also getting into crochet and sort of quilting. I say sort of because it's been tricky to sit down at the machine. I lived in Austin for two and a half years and there was a Nerdy Knitting group there (obviously they were cool with crochet, too) that met up at my coffee shop and I'm really sad that I missed the chance to be nerdy with them. I'm back in the hell that is my hometown and there's nothing like that here. Although at work we do have a group of us who I've started affectionately calling the Crochet Mafia but I'm the only nerdy one of the bunch.
Anyway...that's the state of me. In all my sad little lurker glory. I think it's time for bed now.
