I've been perusing the net, and came across a website that I haven't been to for a while, an editorials like this: What difference does make? [And no, that is not grammatically incorrect.] ... makes me wonder why on Earth I stayed away. And this guy certainly hit the nail on the head.
Its always the way in society - people with unusual interests are marginalised, and subjected to the pressure to 'conform' to what is perceived as 'normal'. I know what that is like. I watch Desperate Housewives (Ok, its not that bad and its beginning to grow on me), Eastenders, and a variety of other soaps. I enjoy Sci Fi and crime drama. It takes a lot for people to get inside my comfort zone where I will openly talk about what I am actually interested in.
And I know that's wrong.
A few weeks ago this kind of conversation came up, and I discovered (maybe the wrong word because I've know these people for ages), two Trek fans, an SG-1 fan and a group of people who knew what we were talking about. It's a pity the topic didn't come up sooner.
Oh well, lesson learned this time I think.
Random Note: Check out SF Crowsnest . Its a really cool site with loads of news and reviews all on the Sci Fi, Horror, and Fantasy theme.
Back to random browsing ...
