I've always thought it was odd how most geeks have the same interests in common. Have any of you ever wondered why that is? Most of us seem to like science fiction, comic books, anime, computers, etc.

It's weird to think about, but it does give us a culture of our own.

I somewhat shamefully participate in the following geek activies:
Love Sci-Fi
Post multiple times a day on a website dedicated to part of the Star Wars saga
Play a lot of videogames
Collect Action figures
Have action figures on my desk at work
Read and collect Comic Books
Enjoy new technologies
Enjoy serious western cartoons (Batman TAS for example)
etc...

So whenever someone starts talking about anime, I think I should probably like it. However... no matter how hard I try... I just can't seem to get into it.
They make some Matrix Anime and I think, "Maybe now I'll like it." No. They make Halo anime and I think, "Maybe now I'll like it." No.
I guess I'm a broken geek. Only most of me works. Maybe it's this new robotic hand I got. Perhaps it makes me more machine than geek.
