An Anniversary

[bubosquared]

Ladies, Gentlemen

I propose a toast. A toast to the barely eighteen-year old girl I was three years ago. That girl started a list called RareSlash, three years ago today, because she was fed up with the way non-mainstream fandoms were consistently ignored on multi-fandom slash lists. That girl conciously and explicitely allowed people under eighteen on said list because she didn't like the way she had been treated in fandom mere months before, having to lie about her age or not join any lists at all.

That girl was angry about a lot of things. That girl was me. Ladies, gentlemen, today is the third anniversary of my BOFQ-ness.

Cheers.

Now let's get drunk!

Right. Because I make a difference in fandom. I'm not even in fa,dom as much as standing on the outskirts looking in and making cynical and/or cracked-out observations.

Sure, now you are, but that doesn't change things. Plus, this

JC: "Aieeee! A punk!" *runs away*
Lance: "Whatever."
Joey&Justin&Chris: "Wooo punk dyke!" *glomp*

alone makes fandom a brighter place to be. Or at least this fandom.

And fine, you can be scary lesbian punk with your vodka. See if I ever offer to get drunk with you again, now. ::sulks:: I'll go be trendy bisexual chick on my own with my Tequila, thank you very much. ::stomps away::

Actually, I'm almost always been like that. But it's a fun place to be.

And hey! Just cause I don't like Tequila doesn't mean we can't get drunk together. In fact, at least now you know I won't steal your booze.

Wheee drunk!

- whee?
