Day 28: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Today is Thanksgiving, which means it's time for a another retrospective look at the blog so far. One of the reasons I started this blog was to see if it was possible to be a fan of Taylor Swift without being a Taylor Swift fan. 28 Days Later and 0 zombies later, I can confidently say that I have achieved this goal. I have a real appreciation for Taylor's music, but I think I've made it plenty clear that there's a lot I don't think is very good. Overall, it's certainly a net positive. I've been having a blast even thought I've pretty much already run out of music.

So what now? Now that my objective has been satisfied what else is there to even talk about? I'm sure I'll have plenty more to say in these retrospectives in the future but I'm also lucky enough to have accrued enough of an audience to have some questions built up over time. So from here on out, holidays will double as half reflection and half Q&A. If you want your questions to make it on the Christmas post then the sooner the better to ask them! I'll answer as many as I can, but this blog already takes me way too long and it isn't even long. So without further ado, your questions and my answers.

Q: When are you going to finally talk about Fearless?
A: When it starts being good.

Q: Why are you doing this to yourself?
A: Why do people electrocute their nipples? Life is the most fun when you find fun ways to torture yourself. What I'm trying to say is that this is the Taylor Swift blogosphere version is self-flagellation.

Q: Will you stop listening to Swift when the 100 days is up?
A: Probably not. I expect myself to be in some level of shock when it first ends. Sort of like how POW's can't sleep on normal beds for like a year after getting back, except way less depressing. Also again, I'm doing this to myself so I obviously don't hate Taylor Swift music.

Q: What would you do if you met Taylor?
A: Probably nothing, maybe ask for a picture. I may be a fan but I try to remember that celebrities are people too. If you're asking if I would tell her about the blog, holy shit no. Is there a faster way to get your ass kicked by a bodyguard?

Q: Have you seen Taylor in concert?
A: No, and I probably never will, I'm not much of a concert person. She did visit Seattle in May, and funny enough I was actually across the street watching a Mariner's game. I remember very clearly because parking was a fucking nightmare. I would consider it in the future, but It'll probably be another 3 years before I get a chance and by then I'll probably be running a 24 hour twitch stream where I read Super Smash Bros fan fiction I find online while in full cosplay. Wait actually that's a pretty good idea.

Q: What's your favorite song so far?
A: Finally a hard question. I know it's pretty basic but right now I would probably say Mean, followed closely by Dress and Clean. Apparently I have a thing for short titles. This actually might not be a coincidence and I might do a post about it at some point.

Q: Do you think you're funny?
A: If I'm being totally honest I find myself hilarious. If I didn't then this whole thing would be way too boring.

Q: Will I see you tomorrow?
A: That's up to you.

See you tomorrow,
