It was earlier this week I decided to take a huge step in my overwhelming Lindsey Stirling love, and I joined the official fan group on Facebook. Needless to say, it's been a lot of fun having like-minded individuals around to talk about all things Lindsey.
But I've also discovered it's impossible to enjoy a show unless you have someone who enjoys it as much as you do. This can be as simple as having someone go, "You watch the latest episode of Once Upon a Time?" and you freaking out with joy/rage/wonder at the show with them, or having a friend you watch all your shows with. When you're alone...you can't talk about anything, you just have to let all your emotions get bottled up so that when the next episode airs, you're practically dying because it's been a week since your last fix of the show.
Either way, a show becomes much more enjoyable when you have friends to enjoy it with you. The same is true for gaming. I think that's why I tend to spaz out when I find people with similar interests as me, because I have so much pent-up love and admiration for the game/show/person, that when someone else says they like it too, I instantly latch onto them, and they are my new best friend.
...I now need to draw that old guy from Legend of Zelda saying, "It's dangerous to go alone: take this!" and he holds up a bunch of friends. Because it really is a lot easier to fandom with friends than to fandom on your own.
