[QUOTE="MDSnowman, post: 1656279, member: 6255"] My father is one of those people... though he refuses to call it a shrine... he perfers the term "tribute". As long as he keeps it in the garage with a garbage bag over it he can call it whatever he likes... As for my own experiences in geekdom... I used to be very very tenative about letting anyone know. Especially my senior year of high school. I shaved my ratty muschae started to dress in colors aside from black, essentially tried to fit in. If anyone knew that I loved to RP I would have been mortified. This carried over to my Freshman year of college as well... and inevitablly lead to a weird situation or two (On a personal note you should know... beautiful women think Cthulhu plushes are neither cute nor funny). Afterward I grew a bit as a person and since then I've come to grips with my geekdom... I freely admit I'm a geek. I own lots of Anime, I've got Manga, I've got Daredevil Trade Paper Backs, I love D&D, Playstation 2, and I've been writing a Mutants and Masterminds superlink book... I am a geek... and you know what... I'm damn proud of it. As for women I've also realized that I have more success with women who accept who I am and are willing to indulge in it a bit too. It's a lot more emotionally fufilling than having to hide all the things I love to do from a woman for fear of scaring her off. [/QUOTE]
