Lingering questions

[chimakwa]

OK, back to the questions:

A deliciously fruit-flavored nightfallcub asks:

What do you think is the geekiest thing about you? What is a geeky thing that you are just ever so slightly ashamed of and hide from the "normals" as much as possible?

Hmm.. good question. I don't hide much from the normals; I've never been able to pass as one convincingly. But what would be the weirdest thing? My ability to speak an artificial language? My fascination with bizarre religious practices and beliefs? My inability to tolerate "American Idol" and "Survivor"? I'm not sure.


Cute and fuzzy mattai asks:

What things do you do (aside from the SCA) to occupy your spare time?

I waste immense amounts of time on the internet, primarily. Even if I'm doing something else, chances are I'm also looking at webpages or chatting or whatever. Ron got me into square dancing a while back and I've enjoyed that a lot, especially since it gets me off the internet and off my butt. Also, I recently took up knitting which has been fun, and of course I read a lot.

An inability to tolerate American Idol and/or Survivor should by no means be taken as a sign of deviancy.

Let me put it this way:

[talvinamarich.livejournal.com]

"When exposed to a half-season's worth of re-runs of 'American Idol', the subject displayed the full range of normal, healthy, sane reactions: screaming profanity, psychosomatic illness, whimpering, bargaining for release including the offering of various body parts in exchange for the remote control, and unconsciousness. I recommend that, following post-exposure care, the subject be released as 'cured'."
