Fan Fiction

One of the least enjoyable things in life is when I am having a completely normal conversation with someone which steers naturally into what kind of books or movies we both like, and ends with a 3 hour discussion about this persons insane fan fiction.

Sure I like to come home from the Transformers movie and imagine how cool it would be to have a robot car that I never had to fill with gas for the trade off of mild radiation poisoning. But to write a 30 page story about how BumbleBee is in love with me and is really a girl robot and how he transforms into the best lover you've ever had, well... that's literally insane...
No seriously, I looked it up
Insane: Traditionally, insanity, craziness or madness is the behavior whereby a person flouts societal norms and may become a danger to themselves and others.

You bypassed social norms by thinking it was ok to tell me about your sexual fantasy involving a robot car, and endangered yourself by not realizing that I might beat the crap out of you!

Now I have always considered myself nerdy beyond all reason. I enjoy D&D themed books, play videogames, am a semi-accountant, write a blog, and have seen every episode of the "newer" Star Treks. I however draw the line at having sexual fantasies, or thinking that works of fiction could be real. Normally I am generally against the death penalty but if I have to sit through one more discussion about How Gandalf could in fact be your grandfather because you were adopted and you have strange magical powers I might just have to inject you myself.

I'll give you this you do have the power to make me feel normal weirdo. I need to converse with more sane people.
