So I am a closet geek who lives with three painfully normal roommates. (Sadly, my fishing roommates have moved out.)
On Wednesday, my roommate Stephanie says to me, "What are you doing Saturday night?"
And I tell her, "I'm roleplaying."
She looks at me. "You're what?"
"I'm roleplaying. You know, like, you've heard of Dungeons and Dragons?"
She nods.
"Sort of like that, only it's a different game."
Stephanie stares at me. "And you're excited about this?"
I tell her that yes, I am in fact excited about it, though at that particular moment what I'm excited about is the fact that Stephanie thinks I'm weird.
Another friend asked me a similar question, and when I told her she raised her eyebrows at me and said, "uh, you have fun with that."
Maybe it's different for me because I'm a girl, or maybe I just like to shatter sterotypes, but it makes me so happy when people ask me questions like that. I don't know though, being evasive about it sounds like fun too.
