right so i just watched project hail mary and LOVED it. absolutely beautiful movie and i really really need the book. it is a necessity. this is not my point here my point here is today in class i was next to a girl who i know has read the book in full and was a big fan even before the movie. my first thought: holy shit thats awesome!!! i should talk to her about it since it's a shared interest and a good bonding opportunity. i am met with DISSAPOINTMENT as i am called a poser and that i dont know it like she does . :( what the hell man.. like she was joking about it but also Wouldnt Drop It even when i tried to go "haha yeah anyways-" and move into an actual talk about the book/movie so i just . dropped it. like am i insane or is this strange. if someone came up to me like "hey! i just started getting into this thing youre a big fan of" i would be delighted to talk to them about it immediately!!!! not be like "oh haha i know it BETTER poser" even if it was a joke because it feels mean :( am i insane. hello. anyone!!!!!!!!!!
