Fangirl. (n) An obssessive female fan, especially technological or from popular culture.
(Thanks, dictionary.com)
Well, for me, this definition is a little off, mainly the part about the 'technological or from popular culture'. I'm not the type to fangirl over nominal things, like boy bands or teen pop idols. I fangirl over more....sophisticated things.
I'll just dive right in and explain.
I fangirl over John F. Kennedy.
At the mere mention of the name 'Kennedy', I get sent into automatic freak-out mode. I get so excited, and I go off, recounting the issues he faced during his presidency, problems with his marriage, his family, his morals, and his assassination. From him, I tell stories about his brother, his father, his mother, and their children. Sometimes, I'm even brought to tears by just the sheer magnitude of information I spout off about. People actually get really scared, or rather annoyed; all they have to do is say something slightly related to JFK, and I will turn into a history book.
I also fangirl over Lincoln, but not as hard as I do with the Kennedys.
Hmmm..who else....
Being an aspiring actress, I obviously tend to fangirl over actors. Like Liam Neeson. I love Liam. He's so British, and is extremely talented at what he does. The other one tends to be Leonardo DiCaprio, and NOT because of his looks or anything. He's actually a very talented actor (go watch his movie 'J. Edgar'; he was phenomenal in that [he also relates to JFK in a distant way, so the mere mention of the CIA sends me into fangirl-mode]). More recent actors I've begin to fangirl over include Hugh Jackman (the guy who plays Wolverine) and Chris Hemsworth (the guy who plays Thor). [I've recently taken a liking to Marvel superheroes; Robert Downey Jr. is TO DIE FORR (But that excludes the Captain America guy; he just doesn't really do it for me)].
And of course I would only fangirl over male actors....I mean, there are female actresses that I like, but none of them are worthy of my fangirl-freakouts. (:
I can also fangirl over particular subjects. For instance, I am very fascinated with the WWII era, so anything that relates to that topic sends me into a trance where I tell everything about anything dealing with it. I also really like the Roaring Twenties era; not as much as I do WWII, but I will kind of rant a little bit about that topic. What I could probably fangirl the most over is current events/politics. Especially if I've conducted my own outside research on the subject. That's how you know that something is really fangirl-worthy to me.
The funniest thing is that all of these things that I "fangirl" over will automatically bring me to tears when I start talking about. I've been in full-fledge debates and my eyes will immediantly become a self-controlled sprinkler. And it's not because I'm sad; it's just that the excitement that I feel over these people/topics is just so strong that it actually emotionally moves me.
Anyways. That's just a tad bit more about me. I there anything that you guys fangirl over? (Or fanboy, because that does actually exist) Let me know!
Hope you've enjoyed reading!!(:
