i never expected to get this obsessed with a new fandom again

Me neither!!! It makes me feel young again to be so excited about a fandom. And I am even writing fanfic again, which I also thought I would never do again! It is the best kind of revival. :-)

Your wine bottles made me giggle, because I do understand - fannishness makes us do cheesy things sometimes, but it's out of the pure fannish love in our hearts, so it's okay. :-)

I am usually pretty resistant to merchandise, and only weakened once before when it came to Dean's necklace from "Supernatural". Maybe necklaces are my particular weak spot...
