Hey, y'all. Umm... bear with me as I struggle to introduce myself. Intros aren't normally my specialty. *shy*
Anywho, I'm fairly new to the Foster's fandom and I began to religiously watch the cartoon about, oh, three days ago. =3 I'm just very happy that the episodes have been new so far. Simply put, I guess I became a fan after reading a fanfic and it just took off from there.
I realized also that watching an animated series that wasn't part of the Adult Swim lineup made me feel very much like a kid again, in the most wonderful sense. I don't recall ever having enjoyed or laughed out loud at a cartoon so much, specially one whose main target is an audience of 7-year-olds. I'm not embarrassed, but I DO wonder if I'll ever grow out of my cartoon-loving phase! What makes Foster's so appealing to me is its humor; I'm sitting there and I still can't believe I'm laughing at jokes and dialogue that don't have foul or shrewd language in it à la Family Guy. There's something about Foster's that I can't quite put my finger on (or put effectively into words) but considering how old I am, it's an amazing feat how they managed to hold onto the short-as-it-is attention span of a college student. It's just fun, witty, smart, and everything else that I thought no longer existed in a world where cartoons were strictly kid-friendly and purposely meant to lack humor that grown-ups might understand.
So that's that. (Oh, yes. Veeeery shy, aren't I?) XD
I wanted to come up with a username that had a little interesting story to it, but I couldn't come up with anything save for 'fashion roadkill', but I figured I needn't bore you with it. The one I have right now kinda speaks for itself. Ok! Well, I think that's about everything on me; I've rambled on and on long enough. You may all now sigh with relief!
