2. Now that we've got that settled, I hear you on the CSI-related spoilers. I'm managing to find out a general overview on all of them thanks to my flist, but if not for that I wouldn't even have the energy to go seeking them out because they're JUST THAT BAD. For once, I'm actually not looking forward to the TV season starting up again.
3. I feel like I should say something worthwhile about the Dirty Pirate Hooker Boots (hee) and assorted outfits, but...other than being highly amused by the term "Class C Freakout" (are there other classes you've defined, then?), I know absolutely nothing about dressing goth. Though I am perplexed by the allure of chains on pants.

2. I haven't gone looking this year, specifically because the few I've come across have been nothing but disappointing. If I wasn't a raging TV addict I'm not sure I'd even be tuning in, because I don't want to see some of these plot developments unfold. It's the whole "if I don't see it it didn't happen" principle again.
The writers are no longer paying attention to who their characters are, and that makes me deeply sad. Isn't that the first thing you learn when you take up creative writing?
3. Yes, there are other classes; four, actually. Class A is a complete freakout, with yelling and shouting and the like. Class B is terse, angry speech, but stops short of yelling. Class C is strong surprise and disapproval, as evidenced here; Class D is just the funny look she gives me whenever I say something awkward or TMI. It's all organized and everything. XD
Heh, I myself am a newcomer to gothland, so I'm not the best person to tell you exactly what it is. So far as I can tell, it runs the gamut from oversized, slumpy clothes to ultra-girly outfits (in black, red, and purple, of course) to just-short-of-dominatrix gear and everything in between. The color palate is the only real common thread, but even that can be tweaked or changed.
And chains used to be for wallets, but now I think they're mostly there because they're shiny and they make noise. Pants jewelry, as it were. But again, I'm not quite the right person to ask.

And this sounds weird, but to me it doesn't really feel "over" so much as "complete." I mean, TV shows are open-ended and nobody knows how long they'll last, so when they have a series finale, there's a definite sadness. But HP was always meant to be seven parts; it's like an art show where only one piece is revealed at a time, and you have to make do with only a partial understanding of the artist's vision. Now you can view the collection as a whole - no more missing parts.
Plus, there is the 5% of fanfic that is good, which I am becoming steadily more adept at finding amidst the dreck and drivel. *nods*

Though I do see your point about completion vs. end. I guess it's more that what I associate with the books is "over"...
And you must point me to some of this good fanfic you speak of. I've steered very clear of the Harry Potter fandom since the second movie came out.
