Now I have to find "Mind over Matters"

[twincityhacker]

Had a very odd moment today. Mom gave me a magizine she had that had a listing of the top 9 comedy writers of all time, and said that one of the mst3k writers was in it. So I get it and flip to the section and it turns out that Micheal J. Nelson is number eight. Then what's the surprise?

He's listed as Mike Nelson, and my first thought is "But he doesn't exist!" (It really didn't help that the drawing has Crow and Servo in the background). Then I realize they're talking about the Writer.

It may sound stupid, but I have to have the real Mike Nelson seperated by name from the charecter Mike Nelson, or my brain starts getting confused. Hence why just mentioning the charecter of Joel Hodgson is a mind trip in itself, but that's a completly diffrent rant. So the real Mike is always refrenced in my head as Micheal J. Nelson, and Mike Nelson automaticaly brings up fandom stuff. That's why it though me for a loop.

See, this is why you shouldn't give your self-insert... I mean charecter your're playing... the same name as yourself. = )

Nah, the blurring of reality isn't what makes being a fangirl sucky. What makes being a fangirl sucks is that your're open to the whims of people you've never even met or heard of.

The blurring of the diffrent world just makes you question what you define as "real" and what you define as "fictional." Like for me, how mathamatics is slowly edging towards being fictional. Not that adding isn't real, but the space that the numbers represent.
