You can try and argue otherwise all you want but cats = fandom, QED: Joe Flanigan is rightfully terrified of his fans.
[love and hate] Kittens Plus Internets
Jun. 2nd, 2010 09:23 pmthatneedslubeThings I love:
1.) Kittens
2.) The Internets
Things that are usually amazing together:
1.) Kittens
2.) The Internets
But something is wrong, Fangasmic fans. Something terrible has just happened on the internet. Something is marring a beautiful Venn diagram I made awhile back. You can see the blight upon it's face:
CAN YOU SEE IT?? Cats were not meant to tweet! If they do, cat currency (the money of the internet) will lose all value! The market will crash! I will start following (more) cats on twitter!
This is a problem if I want to be able to sometimes pass for a norm, guys. We need to fight this shit.

thatneedslubeThere are a few things you could post on delicious that would basically guarantee me clicking on them. Almost all of them are embarrassing and kind of stupid, which means that once in awhile I almost feel bad about making fun of what other people bookmark on there. But not for very long, because the rest of the Fangasmic staff spend most of the day making fun of my reading habits.
You could call those long stretches of conversation that inevitably end with something like this actual conversation:
thatneedslube: I just found a Star Trek AU based on You've Got Mail but with science!!
terribleperson: Of course you did
terribleperson: You are, like, our Unicorn Finder. You are Merlin.
So don't worry, guys. Your pain is my pain. Just as your love of cat AUs is mine. (Or maybe that's just mine entirely.)
( Whatevs. You wish you were a unicorn finder like me. Unicorn finding is awesome. )
Listen, if you have some awesome delicious recs I'll take them. And I will scribble all over them and make notes and then try to track that thing down in google so I can read it myself, shamefully, on my phone in public without getting caught. It's what I do.
