I had a cel friend for several years that lived about two miles away from me, but I haven't heard from him for a long time. Had a couple of anime friends at work that were semi-intertested in what I was getting. I pass by my workplace on my way home from the post office so sometimes I would show them what I had gotten when I went inside. That was fun while they were working there. There's no one in my immediate area now.AerynAerie wrote:Do your Real-Life friends/BF/GF/Parents/Children enjoy your hobby with you?
I used to show my dad what I was getting and he was a little interested, but after he started saying stuff like "Okay, how much did THAT one cost?" and "Oh, you don't want to tell me eh?" I didn't bring up the subject anymore. It's too much of a pain in the @##.
The nearby cel friend that I had was a friend of my friend at work. I bought a cel from him and later found out that he lived nearby and that he was a friend of my friend at work. I wonder what he's doing these days. He may not even be watching anime anymore.If so...did you meet through cels? Did you get them interested or vice-versa?
Yeah, they are hidden away. No one sees them physically these days.If no, do you keep them hidden or do you take an online interest only?
I only have the anime and manga hobbies. The ren'ai gaming hobby is hard to do because I have less free time than I used to. The manga takes up much of what I used to have.Do you have other hobbies? Are they more social?
