I was bored right, and then I thought to myself, 'how can I be un-bored', and so now I am here. It didn't make me un-bored because, lets face it, this is a boring blog.
I have just spontaneously thought about what I'm going to write on this post: FANDOM!
I'll just talk about stuff that I like too much and tell you how I got to like that stuff. This blog is really living up to its name, huh.
1. Doctor Who.
My fandom of Doctor Who actually has a bit of a story. Back when I was seven or something we had an old TV with a remote that didn't work. My viewing cycle was very basic, I would watch cartoons and kid's shows on ABC and then at 6:00pm I would change it over to The Simpsons on channel TEN. I would have to get up out of my comfy chair, walk to the TV, and change the channels manually.
So this one time I just really wasn't bothered to change the channel at 6:00pm so I just stayed where I was and watched the news bulletin that was after all the cartoons. It was only a short news bulletin, so after that, because of my laziness, Doctor Who popped up. This was one of the older episodes (at the time their weren't any new episodes) and featured the fifth Doctor, Peter Davison. I really liked it and soon I preferred to watch Doctor Who over The Simpsons.
Then I found out that there was a newer, more modern series and I got to see the second episode (missed the first).
And now I have to watch every single episode and if I miss one I go bonkers.
The episode more recently have gotten duller. I always like David Tennant but have never liked Matt Smith, ever since he spat in the TARDIS on his first appearance.
2. Skulduggery Pleasant
I was introduced to this series by a good friend of mine. This was back when the Faceless Ones was only just released. I was a bit of a reader back in year... five? I think. Yeah, so I read quite a bit, mainly only Deltora Quest and Roald Dahl books but then my friend let me borrow the first Skulduggery book and I have never looked back. I never even knew books could be that exciting. I was gobsmaked by chapter three! Now when I look back, Deltora Quest was a piece of rubbish. The action scenes would be: 'They fought for a bit and then they won' and that isn't very good story telling. Since then I have become more of a fan then the friend that introduced SP to me was. I would check out Derek Landy's blog all the time hoping to get news of new book, and then I started to comment on them (that was only, like, six months ago!). And now I am completely engrossed in it all.
3. Dinosaurs!
What's not to love about dinosaurs. Massive reptilian monsters that died out millions of years ago! Just awesome they are, just awesome. I've liked dinosaurs ever since I knew they existed and I've wanted to become a palaeontologist ever since I knew that that was what a dinosaur researcher was.
And now that is my main ambition in life, to became a palaeontologist.
Apparently it isn't a good ambition. They don't get paid much and you have to become a geologist first. Geologist get paid heaps in the mines so it would be a risk to go beyond that, wouldn't it be?
So there are all my main fandoms. If you have any questions, any at all, don't be afraid to knock yourself out.
