Why the shame? Self-deprecation I hope. Because there should be no shame in having a productive and creative hobby.
I wish I had the patience to paint such tiny figures but whenever I've tried my hands start itching, I even feel itching behind my eyes, in my brain, and I just scream and throw things on the ground.
- fatboy 7y agoWhen I was at secondary school I was in a group that was big into warhammer. We spent more time war gaming than we did in higher education, but we never spoke about it at school! At that age it was hard to imagine any girls would even speak to us if they knew how dorky we were. Part of our concealment of this extremely uncool hobby was the method we used to enter the games workshop stores, which we dubbed "the nonchalant walk". It involved walking "past" the shop entrance, pointedly not looking its way, then making an abrupt ninety-degree turn when we'd reached the shortest distance to it. It must have looked very odd to anyone who did glimpse it.
