There's still that element of insane passion behind all of it. I mean, WHY would you decide to collect all the Indiana Jones Burger King Glasses? Why bother remembering the origin of the Silver Age Green Lantern, or all 7 Gilligan's Island castaways? I've noticed theres still that intensity behind it all, and you CANNOT tell me someone who works all year to put together a WORKING battlemech (precicely modeled after the mecha of Battletech or Voltron fame) to wear to a Sci-Fi Convention (yes, they're up in Canada somewhere & the guns are loaded with water) doesn't qualify for both.
AAAND! I've also noticed, the hard core gnerds, (yourself included, buddy, i've noticed your desk at work) exibit the same wild creativity as ANY of the "Lovers, Dreamers & Me"- they just work in materials that don't qualify as "Artistic" because of some equally screwed up definition of Art. I'm sorry, your dioramas of battling Ninja and Other Various Action Figures are just as "Artistic" as a diorama of the Naitivity made from clay, or blown glass, or artfully arranged eggshells. Or, in much sadder cases, they have all the intensity & passion, but life/circumstances/public school/parents have bludgeoned that creative urge into cringing submission, leaving a very frustrated - but still painfully creative - person behind.
Okay, enough of this. I'm off to bed, I get to move all my large wordly posessions tomorrow.
