I don't think I have anyone on my flist who's all-fandom-all-the-time. I wouldn't be averse to friending someone who was, but once they or I moved on to fandoms the other wasn't in, there'd be little incentive to keep that person on my flist. (And as I am an utter fannish magpie, that would probably happen sooner rather than later!)
About half of the people on my flist actually are folks I met through the Farscape-Shippers list on...well, it was Onelist when it was started, so that gives you an idea of how long ago that was. Again, fandom connection at first, and then we all got to know and love each other on the list, went to ScaperCons together, generally became friends...and now I read their journals mostly to keep up with their lives, and anytime we have a fandom connection (we tended to move amongst fandoms in a pack back in the day, and sometimes still do now), that's just gravy.
I like a good fandom post as much as anyone, but yeah, it's mostly about the people behind that post.
(I should actually warn you about my tendency to gripe about my school, since I'm not griping about it at the moment!)
Hehehe. No worries. I was tagging my entries for the past two years or so, and it's really amazing how often the tags "grrr, argh" and "academia" showed up together, so I know exactly what you mean. ;)
