Santa Paula: The Road so Far # 6

It's finished, ok! Almost.

I’m Leaving Twitter

I don't give a shit about Elon Musk. He's not the reason I'm leaving Twitter fandom. For so long, I've felt like something was missing; I've been dissatisfied, bored, and disillusioned by the whole experience. I even left fandom for a long time, three years. I returned because I missed it; I missed writing fanfiction.

New Beginnings

Welcome to Xenodike.com. It’s a merger of my fandom LiveJournal, which I started in 2005, and a book blog I started here on WordPress in 2017. That’s why, despite this being my first official post here, you’ll find entries going back almost seventeen years.

Don’t be a Drama-Cunt or How to be a Laidback Fangirl

At the moment, everywhere I turn, fandom seems to be filled with drama. I know it doesn't feel like it, but those of us who've been in fandom a long time know i's nothing new—drama comes and goes in waves. My approach is to stay out of it; I don't engage in bullshit, I don't …

Xenodikes Fandom Philosophy

I keep talking about the "old days" over on my Twitter, how much I dislike social media fandom, and how we should all migrate back to Livejournal.  Well, maybe I should put my money where my mouth is and post something to this journal.  I thought, maybe, I should do a reintroduction post; introduce myself …

About Fandom and the True Meaning of Comments

Alright, so there's been discussions about fandom and getting back to our roots and LJ and I'm always waving my flag saying I miss the old LJ. Well, I can't well be all loud about it and then do nothing myself keeping this journal quiet. So, here's my thoughts on fandom, LJ and commenting. Just …

Crossovers hmmm….

How do you feel about crossovers? I'm not so sure my self... In some cases I understand and like them, when it's in the same universe like Arrow and the Flash or TvD and The originals, I get it, but I don't like when they over use it. It's like with Arrow and the Flash. …

TADA!

Tada! Yes it's me. Darling Jamie asked me how I was and I started to write a reply but then it got so long I figured I might as well do a post. Exhausted and disillusioned about sums it up. Right now I'm awaiting the arrival of our new manager at work, I've meet her …

OMG

Damn!

Bookie, Showbie or Trubie???

I saw his post on the HBO True Blood forum today and it got me thinking. I was thinking, in light of the increase in animosity toward AB from people who believe he isnt doing a good enough job or sticking closer to the book story line. Do you think the show will lose some …

Checking In….

Can some one explain to me how a 30 second power-cut can turn into a 30hour long loss of internet? 30 HOURS... 30 HOURS!!! Hell on earth is 30 hours without a internet connection... Anyway, I hope all of you are doing good. I've just had my dad here for a four day visit... *sigh* …

Too Much Work

It’s been ages again my darlings, It seems like a great deal of you lovely LJ peoples lives are made of fail right now (look what you did Jamie, now I’m talking like you!) mine being no exception. There are reasons why I’m not at LJ at all at the moment, of course its work. …

Help With J2

No I’m not dead. Just busy, I worked 54 hours Friday-Monday, had today off and tomorrow I start at 9.30 am and don’t finish until 9.30 am Thursday... stuff is happening, I’ll get into that this weekend when I have time to post. The reason for this post is that I want to ask a …

LJ – what a wonderful world

Ok, so I’ve discovered something unexpected about LJ. See, when I started watching Buffy I liked a lot of the actors but it was really only Spike that gave me that whole “give me more” feeling. So I went on the internet and discovered fan fiction, spuffy originally for about a week… then I found …

Bwejuu

HI *waves* Just a quick hello from Bwejuu, Zanzibar. I'm having a wonderful vaccation, I have so much love for this country and especially this island. My day's are filled with ... nothing... absolutly nothing and it's fantastic! Of course I miss you all, and my porn craving is stating to bother me and just …

Stupid idea…

5 day's ago... "I'm bored... I'll just surf this very legal downloading site for fun... oh wait what's this... oh right it's that supernatural show everybody on my flist has been going on about forever... well hey it can't hurt to download it... I mean I'm probably not even going to watch it anyway." 3 …

My new love, Jack/Owen

So, Torchwood... damn I love it and I've actually managed to get into a show and now it's fandom before the show has actually ended YAY!!! Only as fandoms go I've quickly realised that my favorite pairing (apart of course form Jack/John and oh my god he's such a good bad guy!) Jack/Owen isn't as …

Whya re we Squeeing over Torchwood?

Edit: I just saw the video... I so get it now, really I do *dies* OK...flist. Squeeing over James I get. Squeeing over James kissing I get. Squeeing over James kissing another guy I totaly get. But this other guy? I'm not so sure... hello very legal bittorrent site I'd like the first season (how …

The first post in 2008

Right, so for those of you who read my “poor me I’m so lost” post, I’m fine. I’ve finally realised that trying to accomplish anything academic when I’m so clearly not even remotely motivated at the moment is a waste of time so I’ve talked to my employer and I’m going back to work at …

QaF US – I Hate You

Dear QaF US, I HATE YOU!!! I knew being unfateful to QaF UK was a bad idea but did I listen to my self? No! I just had to have another fix of pretty boy's having hot sex, especially hot Brian Justin sex. And of course I had heard that in this version Brian and …

One year, how did that happen?

So, sorry no fic yet. I've had friends and family here all week so no computer time for me. But today when I finally had the time to check my mail I had a mail from LJ saying that my one year subscription had run out... huh? I've been at LJ for a year... wow …

Queen of the Damned

A quick RL update. In about an hour i'll be heading to work for another lovely 27 hour shift...can't wait *sob*. So I'll be gone for a while since it usually takes me about a day to recover my ability to think, write and engage in any type of activity that requires brain activity after …

same, same but different.

So, I just finished watching the first episode off Bones... Pretty good show, but seriously, David can't really think that this is switch in character... can he? I mean, Booth is like a human Angel. Both are fighting for good. Both have a dark past that they're trying to repent for. Both are the silent …

HAPPY!!!

Guess whats happening on April 11th.... c'mon guess.... no? Ok, I'll tell you, Bones is on Swedish TV, did you hear me? Bones is on Swedish TV!!! Does happy imaginary dance, since I don't dance in reality, but still, David is going to be on my screen on April 11th!!! Although I'm still pissed at …
