I actually haven't been to a convention since - dear gods, 2008? - but I'm going to one in 9 days, and another in March. As director of a show, I have to, panic and agoraphobia aside. Trust me, I have a LOT of Valium. A LOT. And reassurance from the hotel (both cons are at the same hotel) that they have trained medical staff on board. I'm also bringing my wheelchair, walker, canes, BP cuffs, and everything I need to survive. But it won't be easy - just necessary.
House just doesn't do it for me. It is over-hyped and doesn't reflect how the medical world actually works at ALL. Do I hate people who like it? Nah. But I just don't want it shoved in my face, if you know what I mean. And yes, I definitely feel the same way about Law and Order, especially SVU. I've already lived through that stuff. I don't need to watch a show about rape and murder attempts and so forth when I could write the script.
People will always love what they love, and I might not understand, but I don't judge the person. Yes, I'll roll my eyes if someone tells me how AWESOME Twilight is (because seriously...) but I don't dislike the person. We all judge to a degree, because we'd all be liars to say we've NEVER judged anyone EVER, but I don't mock people for their choices.
That aside, yes: Fuck All The Things right now. Even FB and LJ are pissing me off to a degree. But that's the fun of the Internet: People think they can be assholes because they are hiding behind a computer screen. In person, most wouldn't be so bold. I always try to remember that when I read something some asshat says.
