I'm not exactly sure why this occured to me.
I mean, sure, I watched cartoons all the time when I was young. But I never read comic books or anything. And I know I've been an Otaku for years(which is an unfortunate cultural miss-use of the word, people need to figure out what it really means). So why one Earth would this hit me right now. It's absolutely ridiculous. And I love it. I mean, seriously, who can say that a college class got them obsessed with X-men and not be lieing.
It's not like this happened a couple days ago or anything, I think I'm pushing six months of complete obsession now.
I go to the library (cause I'm too cheap to buy them) and walk out with up to 6 books at a time. And people look at me weird, and its great. I read the books constantly, I reread them, I doodle, I write... hell I've started ranting about the injustice of some of the story arcs to my friends (like Sooraya in the House of M, don't even get me started), and I nearly had a hernia (in public) when Jean-Paul was killed...
The absolute stupidity of the whole thing hits me everytime I walk around with an armfull of comic books and people stare at me because I'm supposed to be an adult and all I can do is giggle.
It's so... freeing.
God I love being a geek.
