I really like fanfiction. Reading and writing it. Nobody in my life knows and I plan on keeping it that way.

Basically anything that I don't know enough about to explain well, which is basically anything as I am dumb.

I am sure you know a bunch of things about topics better than a lot of other people. Maybe you just think you don't know it well enough. Plus, being into something doesn't mean you have to be able to teach it to others, this doesn't mean your dumb. When you get a chance, give yourself some grace, you deserve it! :)

I'm not shy about letting my freak flags fly in many ways, but you have to know me IRL for a good while before my deep and abiding love for a good prank phone call or a well-written monster-focused erotica story might come up in casual conversation.

I have quite a collection of speedos and I didn't buy them for swimming

I'm obsessed with learning about particle physics and quantum mechanics. And of course slowly learning all the math that underpins it.

I just find myself to be very curious about how the world works, in many different ways.

It's exhausting having to go into the defensive posture simply for saying I'm interested in a subject that is way over most people's heads. Instantly arouses feelings of inadequacy in people. It never fails to sully the enjoyment of my passion, and create tension between friends.

That and pro wrestling.
