Are You A Fangirl/Fanboy?

Does somebody here know who fangirl/fanboy is? They're extremely obsessed with someone like actor, artist, or even fictional character such as anime. Okay let's see what I find on internet.


Fangirl
- A teenage girl who is kind of obsessed with a band, footballer, singer, actor etc. They are perfectly normal girls, don't look fat or ugly and most of them are cool people. There are few who are completely crazy and scarily obsessed but most of us are just normal people who enjoy talking about hot guys and reading fanfics about them. Yes, we use words such as glomp and squee alot and maybe we slightly overuse punctuation sometimes but its fun! And we can't help it -   if you fangirl over something it's actually an emotion. You just literally can't help it.
- A (female) fan of a character from a movie, anime, video game, etc. or real life actor or singer. Usually they have an obsession with their "idol" and do various activities to show their love for the said idol. Such activities include ranting about them, making shrines or fanlistings, creating graphics (wallpapers, layouts, etc) that feature the "idol", writing fanfics and making fanart. Some also make plushies or collect posters and other merchandise of their beloved idol.

The difference between fangirl and fanboy is just about gender. Maybe you'll find more fangirls than fanboys around you because girls are more easily interested in something or someone, right?  
Many people (who is not fangirl/fanboy) seem to look down on fangirl/fanboy. It's like "Hey what the hell are you doin? stalking those people you don't know, are you out of your mind?" If you're a fangirl/fanboy you must have felt that way. You know it hurts but people don't care. Pathetic.

And then there's a word called fangirling (and fanboying for fanboys)
 -  A gathering of two or more fangirls in which they proceed to waste endless amounts of time ogling, discussing/arguing, stalking, etc. the object of their "affection"
- Acitivity of fangirls like check the newest update of her idol, watching the video, save the pics, or even stalking her idol's life (such an extreme fangirl).

Just for you to know, fangirls won't be tired of fangirling. Fangirling is more like a hobby. It's kinda addictive. Once you become a fangirl, you can't avoid it, trust me haha. 

Anyway I'm a fangirl and I don't care what people say. Yes I'm crazy, I'm insane, I'm out of my mind. For me it's right as long as I know what is real and what is fantasy and also I have responsibility of what I've done.
