She doesn't judge me (too much) when I tell her I'm going away for a weekend of magic/DnD. She lets me do my thing. It's really refreshing to be allowed to do what I want.
Yayyyy. Yeah, sorry to pull out the PSA from a parenthetical in your post, but nerd shaming is one of those things that makes me fucking nuts. Glad to hear you don't have to deal with that crap anymore.

Listen to you wierdos with your happy careers, and outside activities, and real relationships. I miss the old internet, where everyone was a bitter, lonely nerd who came together to be pissed at the real world.
Humbug.

Don't worry, I have lots of great stuff and I'm still bitter and pissed at the real world. Just for different reasons.

I love dogs. But dogs require walks, and taking care of.
Cats? Put out food, clean the litter box. Job done.
