The Origin Story

It all started on LiveJournal. Back in the heyday of the online journal, I started fangirling with other like-minded ladies (95% of whom, I still have never met in real life). We were fangirling before the word even existed. And it was glorious. The community fed each other and I had increasing feelings for many things I didn't know you could even have feelings about.

After a couple of years and the advent of social media, the pack dwindled and my laziness got the most of me. But the fangirl feelings remain -- although now a little more tempered and about more varied topics but nevertheless, still a fangirl.

Fangirl is defined as both a noun and a verb. As a noun: "a female fan, especially one who is obsessive about comics, film, music, or science fiction." Although I do fangirl on the above mostly, I also do this about food and travel -- though I never seem to find the words. A food or travel blogger, I am not.

As a verb: "(of a female fan) behave in an obsessive or overexcited way." And I think this describes me perfectly. Obsessive and overexcited are my two main keywords despite my ISFJ personality type. And so a study in contradictions this will be!

As always, a work in progress, but progressing forward still. I appreciate you coming by. I hope you come to stay.
