\t\t\t\t\t\t I learned another new word today.. and I love it !.. Otaku..\u00a0 (Otaku<\/b> (\u304a\u305f\u304f\/\u30aa\u30bf\u30af<\/span>?<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/span>)<\/span> is a Japanese<\/a> term used to refer to people with obsessive interests\u00a0 usually video games, manga, etc) .. A new friend said that she was a Science Otaku ,too.. \u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0 I’m finding the older I get the more I appreciate others.. and my own obsesions.\u00a0\u00a0 I love finding kindered spirits in others who share my own obsessions, but there’s nothing more entertaining than meeting someone who is irrationally absorbed with a topic I know nothing about.\u00a0\u00a0 I have friends who are in to model trains (you know who you are) ,
postage stamps, clarinets, word play, history, metal, music, player pianos, musicals, postcards, guns, languages, helicopters, orchids, accordions, .. <\/p>\n

The world is a better place because of these obsessives..\u00a0 I salute you (us) all.<\/p>\n
