I'm not a treasure, I'm a mimic. Rawr!

I like how if you stare at an object long enough while ineffectually reaching out your arm and making Jedi hand wave motions at it, eventually someone will notice (or be concerned) and bring the object to you. Or how when I was just thinking out loud about how I needed some coasters and a few days later my sister showed up at my door, said "Here",

Those posters are awesome! The LeVar Burton comparison reminds me of something my ex used to say about not wearing a band's t-shirt when you were attending a concert for said band. "We know you like that band," he reasoned. "You're at their concert. You don't need to advertise the band to anyone here, either. You already know they like them." But! He did hang a Snoopy "READ" poster by our bookshelves. So clearly his convictions weren't that strong. Or maybe it was an order to any guests who wondered to that corner of the apartment.

See, I never understood that and I would totally be someone who wandered into a concert wearing the band's t-shirt and wonder why people were turning their noses up at me. I always thought it was like wearing a team's jersey to their game, you know, that it was the most appropriate time to wear the shirt.

I thought about putting up movie and video game posters in the book room and then reading posters next to my digital media collection, but then I'd just bounce back-and-forth between the two rooms being temporarily convinced that I should be doing the other thing.

Boo, just noticed my wonder/wander error.

But I think you make a good point. And I just remembered, he also hung a bunch of movie and music posters around our quite sizeable DVD and CD collections. So now I'm just confused. And wishing I had space of mine own to decorate with movie posters.

Okay, so it is kind of like sports jerseys in that if you wear a Lakers or Yankees shirt everyone else is like, "Man, screw you. You only like them because they're a popular, successful team." To impress everyone I have to wear my Fort Worth Brahmas hockey jersey.

hm, the key difference in this analogy is that at a sporting event there is generally an opposing team. at a concert it's safe to assume everybody's on the home team. the only situation where this does not apply is if you are going to see the backstreet boys and you wear an *nsync shirt. BIG no-no.

Ump, okay, it makes sense now. Unless it's some sort of Battle of the Bands type event, there's really no need to show your support for the band because you already did that by paying $20 to see their concert, just like everyone else there. I wish it wasn't that way, though. And haha yeah, an *nsync shirt will probably score you a few condescending looks at just about any concert you go to. I don't think you can even get away with wearing it ironically.
