..Of course, what else is sad is that you probably think I have an utter lack of life since it appears that all I do is sit here and read fanfic.

I've had days/weeks when I've done that too. At the moment, I'm a) too tired, and b) have real life things hanging over my head, so I can't sit and completely veg out. (Of course, having said that, it's not like I haven't read any fic at all this week. Just that it's only been a few stories.)
