My Fabulous Fandom Life

cimoreneI went to the movies with my wife waxjism and our Luddite Dr. of Theology buddy Sofia to see The Social Network, and we discussed the psychology of religion over coffee tea and determined that she feels about the Abrahamic God the way I feel about Spock (ie personally offended when other people mischaracterize him).
The Social Network, having been written by Aaron Sorkin, was full of angsty homoerotic tension and sharp banter and was very funny.
On our way out of the theater I accidentally punched a guy in the face while putting on my scarf because he was tall and walking immediately behind me.
Somehow on the way home my wife and I got into a loud argument about whether Bondage Pants are just bondage-inspired, or potentially of use for kink (I maintain that they can be used to hobble, even if not for actual suspension, so they still count, but Wax thinks they're not hardcore enough). While we were at a crosswalk yelling over each other on the subject Sofia had to sort of wave her arms to get our attention in order to tell us she was deviating from course to go to the grocery store.
When I got home I said, "They're already slashing this movie, I know. Let's check it out." (I always do that when I know someone's already slashing a movie I've seen, regardless of how much I liked the movie; I want to see what everyone else in fandom thought of it, you know?) So I sat down with my tea and pulled up AO3 rather than delicious for a change, navigated by fandom, and the first story to come up in the list was THIS:
Okay. Okay.
FIRST HIT. TIME TRAVEL AND THE APOCALYPSE. APOLOGIES FOR PRETENSION.
I - like I SERIOUSLY LOVE YOU, fandom.
So that was my night. Spock/God?, Sorkinslash, punching tall people in the face, vociferous bondage debate, and the Magic Eight Ball of fandom turning up the AMAZING combination of Facebook/time travel/gay sex/the Apocalypse.
