No. After March 1st, snow is pure concentrated evil.

I do find it odd that we're still getting snow when it's almost April.

Snow's middleroad to me.

I watch far less anime than I read manga. Watching videos involves setting aside a lot of time, comics you can just pick up and put down at your leisure.

Maybe it's because they aren't interested in Western stuff, and if they aren't, they shouldn't feel compelled to be so for the sake of the people who are?

Don't take it too literally. What I meant is simply "hey, we're in a site that catolgues all forms of media! Why not try them all out?"

Yes, I know. If you don't care or don't like it, then you shouldn't and whatnot. and I don't think that everybody must do it. But I want to be able to talk about stuff I like without feeling like weirdo. tongue

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

I used to not know why I am so vocal about my anorak-iness here, when there are entire sites devoted to them.

Then I realize that they know far more about the subjects than me and are too formal. (TVNT was a bit "formal" for me as well; forum-self intruded too much into my persona there and I tried to tone it down, to no avail. I'm weird, I know)

I'm still not entirely sure I understand the whole "forum-self" thing, though I imagine it's much like how I have a TV Tropes-self and an IJBM2-self.

We desperately need people with quirky interests though, and I always tend to look favorably on those with non standard obsessions, even if I don't share them.

As I said, wiki-self is a less formal version of my Wikipedia self (obsessive who dutifully updates articles with a straight face), and forum-self is a goofy, loud, outspoken spaz who obsesses over things nobody else cares about.

[up][up][up][up]That does sound kind of awesome, actually.

I think my wording in the other post was kinda stupid. I'm hardly the arbiter of whats cool, it's more that it puts a smile on my face when someone geeks out over non typically geeky things.

What, music collecting?

It is kind of cool, but it's frustrating more often than not. Also Crack Is Cheaper.

I like... y'know, I think I'm just your basic common-or-garden geek. My biggest obsessions at the moment are probably Doctor Who and MS Paint Adventures.

I don't think I have a forum-self, but I'm probably slightly more polite here than elsewhere on the Internet.

My big obsession, media-wise, is My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. Hobby-wise, graphic design and branding in general.
