Have been feeling extremely meh about fandom this past week. Not sure why. I saw RotK again on Friday, and it was as good as ever, but aside from that...I dunno. This is not a good week for me to be unfandomy, since I'm on Spring Break and was planning to use the time to write those three fics-with-deadlines. Maybe the plotbunnies will revive themselves in a couple of days.
I think I've started to use fandom and LJ as a distraction, something pleasant and fun to make me feel better when I've got too much work and classes are bogging me down and I'm feeling frustrated with my inability to make friends easily at college. But now that I'm home, on vacation, with no stress, doing whatever I want all day, fandom stops being a necessary part of my life. I don't need to use fandom as a distraction when there's nothing to be distracted from.
Maybe I just need a Spring Break from LJ, too.
I'll be around, I guess, but I won't be checking the flist regularly and I'll be doing a lot more skimming than usual. I should be back in full swing next week.
