Make up, The Hulk, Fandom thoughts

[saintgilbert]

I've been writing a few Avengers drabbles, which I'll post later, and I just ordered some make up off Amazon, so I'm in a pretty good mood! The make up is basically one green lipstick and some green and purple eyeshadows. Are you sensing a theme here? You should be. It got me thinking, because this is obviously a thinly-veiled, "HEY GUYS DO YOU KNOW HOW INTO THE HULK I AM, DO YOU?" I'm really into The Hulk. Anyway, I was thinking:

How do you guys say you are into things that your RL friends don't necessarily know you're into, without actually saying it?

This could be fandom stuff, or anything really, I suppose! I'm really curious! For me it's definitely clothes and make up. 

This is the make up, in case anyone wanted to see!



The green one!

My friends here in the library science program are all Doctor Who fans too, so I'm fine discussing that with them. I actually met one of my friends during orientation because I noticed she had a Tardis sticker on her phone! The main thing I don't talk about is my love of roleplaying on forums...even though I spend a good 2-3 hours a day roleplaying, I've never told my friends about it. I also feel like they wouldn't understand the extent to which I interact with people online in general, or the concept of internet friends...once I mentioned that a livejournal/fandom friend might get to visit me, but I told them she was my pen pal. that seemed more socially acceptable for some reason. >.>

I think people draw different lines. And the temptation, for me at least, is to just casually mention fandom-related things all the time - I have to work really hard to keep that impulse in check because none of my friends know about it/probably would get bored hearing about it!

What do you roleplay?

Dragonriders of Pern mostly, sometimes Sherlock.
