So, the one
thing all geeks can relate to, regardless our passion or fandom of choice, is how
often we have to hear from non-geeks just much they simply don't 'get us'. We hear it from family members,
to classmates, to colleagues, to random strangers... we simply cannot get away
from it. We're told how we 'have no life',
how our interests are 'just a phase’,
we have to defend and/or explain all kinds of aspects of our interests pretty
much on a regular basis. Yet, we are always expected to see the non-geeks' point
of view. I think pretty much every geek in the world is aware that not everyone
shares or understand their passion and interests, but it doesn't seem like
non-geeks realize that their interests can be just as baffling to us as ours are
to them. So, with
that in mind, I'm going to make a list of people/interests that I simply do not
get...
