I see fandoms in the same way, being a way of escape . I remember the old LJ days when everyone were still pretty active on there and everyone were talking about the fandoms they had. Back then, Lost was a popular show and still airing, a lot people on there were talking about it and posting icons and all that.

It's fun to have fandoms and sharing thoughts with other people that watch the same shows as you. It was like being in a big group with people but just online :-)

Oh One Republic, I love that band. I listen to them often and would love to see them live :D
