picture in my mind

ack! Timely reminder. 

You know that silly disappointed feeling you get when you realize you're not the only one who likes something? Or is it just me. Because I am possessive? 

I always feel like I want to pout and say as Mort did, I like them! I like them! Before I even met them, I liked them! You hate them compared to how much I like them!

HP was like that too, kinda. I liked the fact that I had a group of close friends all nutty about HP, but when HP became a worldwide craze and everyone knew of it --- uhhh, not so good. I remember being ecstatic about the prospect of watching HP on the screen, but after a while... 

Which is why, in many ways, thank goodness for the obscurity of Lymond.
