Cue the creepy children!

Oct 16, 2006 23:37

So, there I was, doing the standard LJ scouting thing and looking for various cammies of recent acquaintance. I come across a guy I've been RPing with on the East Coast, and he has a feed to something called "monkeysignal". How odd, I think to myself. I know a Monkey ( Read more... )

He's been hanging with the wrong crowd. He knows princessdiablo and others from back east, even goes to visit them occasionally.

The wrong crowd? We are decidedly *not* the wrong crowd.

We may be the drunk crowd however...

I refer you to this piece of evidence:
http://www.twistedmonkey.net/index.php/2002/01/

Please, if you will, click on that link. Check out the reference to dorkery, and look upon the link that he refers to as "freaky". The link may no longer work, but the sentiment is there. I think it's safe to say that, at least at the time, he would have said the Cam in general was the wrong crowd.

As to the rightness of this particular crowd, I reserve judgment. ;)

Whoa. dppw.tamu.edu? Talk about old school.

....is it a bad sign that I used to dev for that box?

Not so bad. You're just dating yourself. ;) I wasn't deving on it, but I was right there with you.

The wrong crowd (in this sense) is definitely the right crowd. I'm certainly not one to throw stones.

I generally assume that if one doesn't consider LARP a little freaky, that's even *more* freaky. It's a weird hobby, but one I enjoy nonetheless.

And you're right that, in general, most people I know have strange hobbies. Your example is one. Heck, some would consider it odd that I've spent hours upon hours of my life running a little cow around collecting bobbles off of various fake creatures in an online space. I play a fake plastic guitar, rather than a real one. And so on...

As for your post, long ago, it really was mostly tongue in cheek. You never judged this hobby all that harshly. It deserves the occasional ribbing, but really--all of our hobbies do. :)
