Funny Aside, Har Har, But Shit

[dime_liora]

I don't work as hard as I used to at being anonymous. My husband knows what I write and read, two RL friends know, and several people now have my email address with my real name. That being said, prepare to laugh at me. Trust me, I'm laughing too. We're laughing at me together:

I have mentioned this before, but I am a grad student at a fairly respectable college that does not respect pop culture. There's one professor I've found who's a total geek and got really passionate about me being able to do what I want the way I want. In that interest he is spear-heading a campaign for me doing an individual investigation into Supernatural and the way it handles mythology. So I turn that in this week for approval. Anyway, he's a fan of the show. I told him about Con and how I was going at lunch yesterday as he was telling me about his experiences at Comic-Con. Casually he mentioned it'd be cool to go to the Supernatural Convention.

He's booked his hotel room. Today. He's serious. We're riding together. Now I need to figure out at what point I tell him the whole, Oh by the way the people I mentioned meeting there are Wincest shippers like me and I write it and ho ho nice talk nice talk how long is this drive?

Yargh.

I'm sure he knows about slash, and he knows I read fanfic in the general sense, but yeah. He's pretty laid back so I think he'll take it in stride. ;-)

Ahahahaha!!!! That's wild! I love it!!! Which con?

[sammichgirl]

I hope he's gonna be ok with us and our cosplay and fanfiction juice and just insane fangirling - over SPN and other fans that both ship and don't ship.

MAY! It's not that far away now. :D He has time to back out if he gets too...cautious?

Oh, is this arlington we're talking about????

[sammichgirl]

Yes! To which you're coming...yes? :)

I have every intention of being there - like I can chew off a leg to get there, if I have to ;-) I had to say goodbye to the idea of a gold pass, so am waiting for the regular tix. Do you know if anyone will still need a roommate? otherwise I will see about booking a room. And pictures.

Well Sammich answered your first question, hut for your second I can say she's the one to ask. She's the charismatic teammate.

LOL!! Maybe he is a closet fanboy? You can test the waters by bringing up "fandom" and fanfic maybe? If he's been to Comic Con then cosplay won't scare him.

I know he almost killed Lou Ferrigno with fanboying, so I have hope! :-D

This is going to be so much fun...*makes cheese tray, waits....*

[dimeliora.livejournal.com]

There will no doubt be a blog. "At rest stop. Professor has not escaped yet despite ankle chewing. All in all positive. "

GIRL, I FEEL YOUR PAIN. The amount of fucking run around I had to go through before I could find a goddamn adviser for my thesis was disgusting. I mean, the guy I finally found is now one of my favorite professors ever, so yay for that, but I swear I went to talk to like five professors who were straight up like, "I don't read those things" as soon as I told them I was writing about fantasy/sci fi. LIKE COOL, BUT I SWEAR I HAVE THAT SHIT ON LOCK, I JUST NEED HELP WITH MY THEORY WORK, CAN YOU ALL PLEASE STOP BEING SUCH JUDGMENTAL DICK BAGS?! My department is all about medieval lit and I hate that shit and I am so oout of place, wah.

I did find out recently that one of the professors in one of the departments I work for does fandom studies and wrote a book about the Supernatural fandom, but it was kind of more of a horrifying discovery than anything because I hate anthropologists/fandom studies with a burning passion, and knowing that one of those people is not only in my university but sniffing around in my fandom is gross.

But! Your professor sounds awesome, and I'm sure he knows what he is getting himself into if he's already been to Comic Con and knows about fandom/fic/the show and will not be too scared. I mean, there's a *chance* that the Wincest might weird him out, but none of the other stuff, and probably not even that.

Anyway, whatever, just. IS IT MAY YET?

[dimeliora.livejournal.com]

It is not May yet because the universe is FUCKING EVIL AND TIME HATES ME!!

But yes, pretentious academics suck majorly. They're all British and American Lit here. Woolf and Hemingway and who would possibly consider pop culture worth studying. Yet they're all surprised when I saw I'm looking into other programs for my doctorate.

Gee, I wonder why.

h.....ha......hahaha.....BWAHAHAHAHAHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA.

this is somewhere between hysterical and nervous laughter for you, I like the idea of just acting like it's completely normal and not even addressing it as anything else. It's my modus operandi.

HE BOOKED HIS ROOM, AND YOU'RE RIDING TOGETHER!!!!

I'm sorry, I can't wait to meet him, Wendy will be on her best behavior, I cannot promise the same thing.

[dimeliora.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD YOU'RE DEFINITELY COMING????

Sammich and I are talking about a pajama party with booze and stuffs on the TVs. I will make my professor wear pajamas too.

Best behavior? What the hell is best behavior? I'm going to be totally respectable until we're too far into the trip to turn around and then I'm going to turn into drooling shaking fangirl mess so fast he'll be unsure if he's accidentally stepped into an alternate reality. :D

[cydsa.livejournal.com]

yeah, nothing awkward abt that at all :DDD

Seeing as he's such a huge fanboy (even more so after reading your thesis no doubt) I'm sure easing him into shipping Wincest will be no problem :DD

[dimeliora.livejournal.com]

Oh my, conversion never occurred to me because I am short-sighted.

It's all about selling it interpretively first. Muahahahahahaha.

I will begin listing my textual support now.
