–My book-reading rate. Seriously, I used to read a stack of books as long as my arm (admittedly, I was shorter then) just about every week.
–My patience. (The most recent HP movie is two and a half hours long? I could watch my entire weekly tv in the space of that one movie! Who has that kind of time?)
–My ability to simply enjoy the viewing process of a series when I know that there is a fandom waiting for me. Like, just started a limited rewatch of Buffy* and I'm already like 'I wanna be done! I wanna talk to people about all my new/old opinions!' And it's like, 'slow down, there
redbrunja , you haven't even gotten to "Angel" yet, focus on the journey and the joy of having a huge backlog of episodes.'
*To be honest, I think I've forgotten how awesome Buffy, the character, is. She's quippy and blonde and kills things! I can't believe I ever forgot how epic she is. Also, every time I watch early Buffy, I wish I had watched it when it first aired, without meeting Spike before Angel. Because I can sense the twelve-year old deep within my soul who would have loved Angel with all her preteen heart.
