Fandom musings
Something I posted on a Facebook Fan page- a little window into my well-concealed soul:
So I've only recently 'found' SPN. I love the show and the community here. I've tried to find people IRL with whom I can obsess with over the show but I've gotten the following responses:
- hate horror- too much blood and guts
- it's so misogynistic (at worst) or too testosteroney (at best)
- You're going to hell (at worst) or you're inviting Ouiji-like evil (at best)
Luckily, long before SPN, I knew that I was a misfit and that's OK (thanks Rudolf). Although new episodes are ending, I'll have many returns to my fav episodes (similar to my relationship with Psych, Merlin and Firefly). Thanks to the SPN family for making me feel at home.

New Obsession...
So my newest (since Dec. 2019) obsession is the TV show Supernatural. I've now binged all 14 seasons on Netflix (which got me started via a recommendation based on other shows I've watched like Merlin, Once Upon a Time, The Magicians, and Lucifer) and am up-to-date for the final 15th season.
So much good stuff here- I wish I would have found it sooner. I am even following some fandom outlets via Facebook, Twitter and the wiki. Love this #SPNfamily. I'm even considering going to the convention in Orlando in September but that's up-in-the-air at the moment.
I've started jotting down words of wisdom and/or relevant (to me) quotes such as:
"Like it or not, we're not like other people." (Skin 1:6)
"I wish you'd shut your pie hole but we don't always get what we want.." (No Rest for the Wicked 3:16)
"No one makes us do anything" (Hammer of the Gods 5:19)
"There's always a price [for happiness]. But it's worth paying." (Road Trip 9:10)
"I have to think of the good or I will drown in the bad." (Stranger in a Strange Land 14:1)
"Let it go; you'll feel a lot lighter." (Nightmare Logic 14:5)
Who knows where this will go from here but I felt the need to write it down.
And in a post I made on Facebook's Supernatural group:
I just 'discovered' SPN in Dec and I've binged all the episodes. I had the revelation that I see some of Dean in my son, some of Sam in my daughter and some of John in my ex. I guess I even see some of Mary in me... for better or worse. It's amazing how this show makes such an intimate connection for so many people.

Words of Wisdom
I haven't added much to this blog in a while but I've decided to switch the focus from the town I live in, to a much more internal focus. I will be posting items that have a resonance to me. Lots of quotes, not always from high-minded philosophical sources, more often from everyday connections in books, movies and TV, very occasionally from people I've interacted with personally. I just want someplace to put these words of wisdom so I can retrieve them as needed.
Today's quotes of note:
"Some choices are easy, some stay with you forever."- Merlin, Season 3, ep 11.
"To suppress a truth gives it force beyond endurance". - Kung Fu, Season 1, ep 3?.
"Skepticism might keep you sane but won't necessarily keep you alive". Carnival Row, Season 1, ep?
"Stop searching forever, happiness is right next to you". tonight's fortune cookie
