LJ is so weird about that entertainment thing--I mean it makes you weird about it. I guess part of it is that people seem to "subscribe" to an lj because of a common interest and if that interest changes you feel like you're talking to people who don't care what you're saying. Like, the whole thing in fandom is that you go there to talk about your interest the way you can't in real life. But if you start posting about the "wrong" fandom...well, now it's like you might as well be prattling on about Smallville to your grandmother who's never heard of it.

But still I remember when people would post about being annoyed at people constantly posting about their new thing they didn't care aobut and it was just like...well, it's Sophia Petrillo's line to the rescue again: I'm sitting here, drinking a cup of tea, talking. You're looking at me like you paid sixty dollars to see Phantom of the Opera."
