I’m a geeeeeek
After I typed up about the repainting the Vespa… I realized the other bad hobby of mine was starting to show. o_o I guess I never really talked about it until it came up by chance in chat with my friends the other day…
I have a lot of (very expensive) hobbies. That’s probably why I never have enough money for dolls because it’s spread thin among others. Everyone knows I do video games. I don’t just play them, but I collect the consoles. My collection is embarrassingly immense… And I still play all of them very often, including my old Atari *huggles her atari* About the only thing I don’t have is a coin-op arcade. I just don’t want to go there. XD
I do computers. There are 11+ functioning computers in this household. Hehehe… my brother and I are both compsci majors. We can’t help it!!!! We see computer parts laying about, we hafta build a computer out of it! It’s a must.
But the hobby I’m addressing . . . is so boyish of me. My brother laughs because he can’t understand how I can jump from dolls to… Remote Control Cars. XD When I was little, my brothers used to race their electric RC cars in the backyard on a huge track they dug out of the side of the hill. Every once in a while, they’d let me have a try at the controls. Of course, back then I’d send the car flying off the hillside. Hahaha.
Eventually I told Tony I wanted my own RC car. >_< I didn’t know how expensive they were to build and maintain back then. But geez. These are really miniature working cars and keeping them in good condition is expensive, even if they are electric… I can’t imagine maintaining a Nitro car (runs on a gasonlinish formula instead of batteries). But anyway, I snapped a picture of my two cars for my chat buddies. These cars are really cute, but it’s too bad they’re 1/8th scale. Would be just too cool if they were 1/6th. I didn’t mention to the girls, but the headlights and break lights are fully functional along with the backing lights. I’m a geeeeeek, I know!
While I don’t race them professionally, my brother and I always like to take them out for a spin at the local high school parking lot. 😀
So my secrets out! I’m a race fan and I like little sporty racing cars, always have. Hahahaha. *geeeeek*
