So why don't you kill me....
So apparently watching cartoons and "playing" with lasers makes me a loser. Being interested in advanced technology and refusing to submit to the misery of growing older has somehow placed me in that category. I don't think its fair to judge anyone for anything, its no ones place. Being told to grow up every time I bust out my lasers is becoming extremely disheartening. I've been on my own since I was 16 (about 9 years now) and I've always had a roof over my head and ill almost never miss a day of work. Watching cartoons and tinkering with my "toys" has never come between my responsibility and me. My father in law is constantly telling me to quit "playing with your stupid little lights and grow up" I'm almost too ashamed to take them out anymore. I've always provided for myself and my woman and I know I'm not a loser, but I finally find a hobby that I love and all they do is embarass me. I just lost my best and only friend in the world, my little brother Joe. So I've been turning to lpf for conversation and fellowship. Which of course brings on more ridicule from the old man, and to a much lesser extent, my soon to be wife. She's always been supportive, just not very understanding. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you Lpf for giving me a place to fit in. Thank you especially to Danefex and 9ring, you two are the closest ill get to having any real friends for a long time. Long live Lpf! Sorry if this comes across as butt-hurt its mostly a catharsis for myself. I love lasers and I love life and only my body ever gets older. :beer:

Listen, anybody who is telling you to get older is just jealous of how you manage to keep your mind so young! you should feel lucky that they are too jealous of you to even admit it. Anybody who can be entertained by a subject as complex and highly technical as lasers is bound to keep a young and healthy mind with them until the day they die. NEVER be embarrassed to pursue a hobby you love. My friends tell me all the time "enough with the lasers" and "You're addicted!" but i don't care because i'm having fun. Anybody who stops being your friend JUST because they don't like the same hobbies as you was never your friend in the first place. Don't worry, you have plenty of supporters at lpf!
