I have several private programming projects I am working on now, and I usually have some dorky sort of scheme or something I do behind closed doors… and it’s sort of unnerving trying to communicate with people about these things, when they a) don’t care b) don’t understand, or c) have no experiences or interests that even closely correlate with mine.
I’m a pretty normal person on the street, and at work, and wherever, but its just one side of the coin. It would be nice to interact with people (face to face) that might have similar projects or sets of interests as I do. Most of the problems I have with setting and accomplishing goals in these areas have to do with having no one to talk to about them.
Absolutely no one in my peer group that I interact with on a daily basis has any interest in most of the things I am most interested in. I feel like a boston fan, in new york. The few ‘geeky’ friends I do have, have no where near the depth of depravity I do… they just want to watch a bunch of sci-fi and play video games. This isnt the 4th grade, even the cool kids do that kinda stuff nowadays gosh. Poser geeks.
