Re: On being judged for your hobbies....
My headache medicine has a little "Ex" inscribed on the pill. It's not a brand name; it's an indicator that it works inside an Anti-Magic Field.
Blue text means sarcasm. Purple text means evil. White text is invisible.
My signature got too big for its britches. So now it's over here!

Re: On being judged for your hobbies....
But it's not that much effort, I mean it's just a shove, then gravity does most of the work...
I think that I've found this to be more true than the reverse, my career aspirations are often judged pretty harshly by geeks or nerdy types. I've also seen a lot of geeky people act fairly judgemental about other people's hobbies, particularly if those hobbies fit into the kind of hobbies that preppy popular kids were into. For example during football or baseball season, most of my geeky friends on Facebook go out of their way to point out that they don't actually have any interest in those sorts of things, which always seemed odd to me.My Avatar is Glimtwizzle, a Gnomish Fighter/Illusionist by Cuthalion.

Re: On being judged for your hobbies....
My boss used to play AD&D so I got off lucky there.
Nobody I work with has ever heard of mideval combat groups, I was a boffer a while back and still have my stuff. I can dumb it down as much as you want, I've described it like someone who spars in martial arts for exercise, and in armor it is a workout, but I always get that look. That dreaded "You're a weirdo" look. Once I get that look it either takes months of acting normal to get someone to treat me human, or I immediately throw my old buddies to the wolves and call them crazy to level out my current situation. (I've never tossed my old friends out like that)
