Hello. My name is Panda and I am a Dorkaholic.
I'm here for the support group meeting.
After reading Shin's myO I have realized that I am a Dorkaholic. As with any problem, admitting there IS a problem is the first step to recovery. Let's take a look...
1) You make extremely nerdy posts on your blog obsessing over a movie, band, television show, book, or other form of entertainment. If you obsess over something that isn't entertainment-related, you're not a dorkaholic, you're just a nut.
-Oh dear, I never knew my obsession with anime would lead me down the path of Dorkaholism! I am also assuming that my obsession with pandas makes me a nut as well. What have I become!!!??? ::shakes fist in air::
2) You spend more than ten minutes typing a rant about a very insignificant piece of news, yet ignore more newsworthy items in the world.
-I do tend to ramble on about insignificant things versus the real important issues of the day. I get all my news from the Daily Show...is that bad?
3) Your name starts with S and ends with U. I'm looking at you, Shamu.
-PHEW!! Dodged a bullet there!
4) You can't go one day without making at least five pop-culture references in some form or fashion.
-I have been doing this for years. Obscure quotes from Monty Python and movies, song lyrics, commercials and catch phrases. When will this madness end?!?
5) You've actually taken one of Shinmaru's posts seriously for more than five seconds. Ten seconds for the posts that are actually serious about something.
-You mean Shin isn't always serious?!?
I think I need to take a break and indulge in one of my vices...Bishonen guys!!
Is being attracted to Bishie anime guys a sign of my Dorkaholism?
Now you know my question is going to have to deal with this Dorkaholism I feel some...er...most of us have. It's ok, we are all friends here and we need to work through this together! Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
What are some of the "dorky" things you enjoy doing? C'mon, you know there are things you like to do that others may see as being dorky. Let's bring all these skeletons out of the closet and air out that dirty laundry!!
I will go first...ahem...
- I am a 28 year old woman who loves watching anime. Most women my age are busy raising their children and/or working on their successful careers. Not me. I am watching anime, drooling over Sanzo and attending cons dressed up in my panda hoodie.
- I sing along to the music I listen to in my car when I am driving. It more than likely is some cheesy 80's hair band music or anime music.
- DDR. I don't think I need I explain how stupid I look on the dance pad.
-Karaoke. I was in band in school since I couldn't sing to save my life...but give me a microphone, a Britney Spears song and an audience and I am there!
- I might be a furry. I haven't accepted this yet but I am afraid I am slipping into the fur-dom. I already have the right nickname and the panda hoodie. It is only a matter of time before I make myself a fur suit! Oh the horror!!
- I can quote ENTIRE movies. For example: Say Anything, Princess Bride, Monty Python movies and skits, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Airplane and countless other movies and cartoons.
- I enjoy playing Call of Cthulhu.
Ok, so I shared a few of my vices, time for you guys to share some of yours!! Remember if you feel like you are not a Dorkaholic...
Mental disorder or Dorkaholic...you decide.
Well kids, it's been a fun post today. Unfortunately I may not be able to do one tomorrow since I will be in Seattle for the "family reunion" to see my uncle who has cancer. I hope everyone is having a great week and I will see you all when I get back from Seattle. I am going to go to Uwajimaya which is a great asian food/gift store. Shopping always makes me feel better. I am sure I am going to need to do some hardcore shopping after seeing my uncle.
Love you all and I will see you Dorkaholics later!
