Hey spoot!

Pepys is addictive, isn't he? I currently seem to be stuck in this 17th Century obsessive thing - it's quite odd...

such a strange focus of energy and passion, to focus on some remote figure, rather than people or causes close to one's life. But I guess that's the point of fandom. The further away it is from one's real life, the better the dream.

Hmm, yeah. I've been dwelling on this a fair bit lately, although I appear to have no coherent thoughts just at the moment. I do worry, because I have a tendency just retreat inside my own head and live there, and the fan thing kind of feeds that, for me. But ... it's also meant that I've met people I wouldn't otherwise, who've made my (real) life richer and more interesting. Balance is the key, I suppose.

the people who really get somewhere in life are those that put all that energy and passion into their own life goals.

Agreed. Self-belief, self-discipline, all stuff I'm not very good at. :) Not enough of a driven boy scout, I'm afraid. *g*

That's the secret, to be attractive in your ruthlessness, then all is forgiven.

Too true... Merry Christmas to you too. *looks at clock* Should be still going on where you are.
