Feb. 10th, 2012 12:35 amSo tonight I went out and had a social life! I went and saw a talk from this woman, which was fantastic, and then went to a bar for a launch party for the latest issue of this because I am in a club at college with someone who works for the magazine. It was fun.
Possibly the best part was when I walked into the place where the talk was at, and a girl near the door took one look at my shirt (Sherlock 2x03 spoiler in the link!) and started laughing. I was DELIGHTED, because my previous experience with geeky shirts for UK shows has been that no one gets them ever. (Which admittedly, was the one shirt, but it was "the angels have the phonebox" and I wore it for three years before it had too many holes to be suitable for public wear, and really it's not like Doctor Who is super obscure.) So I said something like, "I wasn't sure anyone would get it!" and her response was,
"I get it! I get it. *giggly pause* I can't even talk about it right now."
Fandom. I love fandom.
