Are we weird?? - Page 2

~~ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael~~ · 03-23-2007, 06:17 PM

Were not wierd, just misunderstood.

*Katie* · 03-23-2007, 06:28 PM

Everyone has something they like that someone else thinks is wierd. TMNT jus happens to be my thing. Better addicted to this than...meth or alcohol or something like that

I didn't have a really "functional" family life when I was a kid. I like them because they kinda had the family togetherness that I wanted. I guess it could have easily been one of those other things.

But seriously, yeah, I get lots of "you like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Are you, like, five??" I just smile really big and say "yup, I Like the Turtles." Then look around with pride at the oodles of TMNT stuff on my desk at work.

It's like my little secret that the turtles are more than the 80's toon that most of those people have grown out of

Brandatello · 03-23-2007, 06:33 PM

i agree with you totally

JetsAndHeels · 03-23-2007, 06:36 PM

If loving TMNT is weird, I guess I am not normal.

Of course I have known this for years.

Leonardo_ · 03-23-2007, 07:00 PM

Weird is, I mean, if people talk about the turtles-characters as their boyfriends, or if they were real persons and start insulting arguments with other fans, because of their different opinions.

But liking them, collecting every piece and having them on the walls is NEVER weird. I think without them I would feel very alone...not complete, if you know what I mean?!

These have been awesome comments everyone! I love hearing about your personal relationship with the turtles. Keep 'em coming!

*Buslady* · 03-23-2007, 09:01 PM

ACTUALLY....

We're normal...everybody else is weird.

My co-workers have come to expect no less from me, I'm weird period, what's my TMNT fandom to add to my insanity...

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 03-23-2007, 10:14 PM

My co-worker came over to my house one night and caught me in my TMNT pajama pants curled up on the couch watching TV with my big stuffed Mikey. She took a pic a pic on her phone and shows people ...
Now anyone who has known me since the age of three would say that's just her, she's always been like that but new people alway ask why and I get the same comments over and over how silly I am. Seriously it just kinda makes me smile because I wouldn't have it any other way.
I have done this for the past 20 years and I look forward to getting strange looks for many more...lol

*Masked Ninja* · 03-23-2007, 10:55 PM

Eh, people pretty much know me as being a TMNT fan. And I guess some think I'm kinda weird, but not enough that they shun me or anything. Which I appreciate.

Mostly, I think the Turtles are fun to draw and personality analyze the heck out of. Which is why I appreciate character based TMNT stories. And believe me, the Turtles have been all over the margins of my class notes for the past couple months and will likely stay there for a while. Hah.

But that's the good thing about being an animation major... my classmate buddies are all geeks too, just in different ways. They are perfectly fine with my Turtles geekdom, and I'm sure they find it amusing.

My mom kinda rolls her eyes sometimes, but she handles it well. This morning she called to ask if I'd finished the shirts I was painting for my friends and I to wear to the theater. And then proceeeded to inform me that my younger siblings were going to the movie this afternoon. Good for them.

Turtleman100 · 03-23-2007, 11:01 PM

Were just TMNT fans. big fans.

*Revan* · 03-24-2007, 12:33 AM

Hell No! Non-turtle Fans Are Weird!

I'm weird because I think details are important.

Not just any details. All details. I'm weird because I don't act like a typical person. I'm weird because I like it that way. I'm not weird because I love animation, superheros or TMNT. Actually, that's now becoming a popular trend among adults even. Why would I want to be normal when I'd never be good at it? FORGET THAT! Being me is too much fun in comparison.

*Spike Spiegel* · 03-24-2007, 10:22 AM

We are not wierd, we are the true fans, unlike many ppl who are getting hyped up for the film. We ar the ones who will wear out our copies of the soon coming DVDs watching it and the shows, while they only submit to the hype.

Stand tall, TMNT fans.

Brandatello · 03-24-2007, 11:17 AM

very nice statement.. we are the true fans, we are the ones who go on the site every time on the internet, we are the one who devote most of their spare money to TMNT, we are the ones who get excitied for a new episode on television, who are the ones who spend more on TMNT than our love lives (lol JK) but i do anyway (wonder why i have love issues)
WE ARE THE TRUE TMNT FANS!!!
and for that we are not weird

*Revan* · 03-24-2007, 12:00 PM

We are here because the outside world rejects us. We are unique among our peers. But we are NOT WEIRD! WE ARE AWESOME!

TerranigmaFreak · 03-24-2007, 12:21 PM

We're not weird!

BTW, I went around today on other forums flamming people who complain about the lack of Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady in the new movie.
