Yeah, when I was acquiring knives (many, many knives...) I always told myself that I would probably have occasion, someday, to actually use each and every one of 'em. Even explained to my first wife how I really needed this one. Hahaha
Now swords are a little different, eh? Don't really anticipate ever using a katana or saber as it was intended (No dreaded Home Defense Debate off of this - Please!) Cutting bottles and pool noodles and maybe even tatami... Hell Yeah!! But I can't imagine convincing my present better half that I do now, or ever will, need a 30" piece of razor sharp steel... Nope, don't need it - but damn, do I ever WANT it!!
My name is John, and I'm a swordaholic.

Normality is the curse of mankind. Have you noticed that, for the most part, 99% of the people on SBG are highly intelligent and reasonable people? Get on a similarly sized forum about cars, and just see if you can go 5 minutes without seeing someone blow up. We are not only abnormal, we of SBG are extraordinary. I have immense faith and trust in many of our members, because these (you included, I assure you) are not the everyday beings of monotonous life, but people who for some reason or another are different, and in that difference lays an outlook that involves swords (and zombies, of course, but that's another story). I say, rejoice in your difference, and uniqueness. Be glad that you are not just 'another member of the collective crowd', so to speak. That's why I HATE going to large events with a multitude of people, such as concerts. I love being around people, but not when I'm 'just another homo-sapien', make sense? We. Rock. Get used to it. Congrats on your awesomeness, and that shared by your brothers (and sisters!) of the SBG. ;D And yes, I too have a girlfriend who thinks I'm wierd for spending so much time focusing on obsolete weaponry from hundres of years ago that costs precious money that could be used for video games, but *I* happen to be lucky in the fact that she shares my swordly whim, if only to a slight degree. Swords FTW! -Slayer

They are not inflatable. They are molded. ...Some are cotton and/or polyester. ...QUIT LOOKING AT ME. Seriously, though, I rate myself as far more normal than most normal people.

Hey, it's the real women who are unclean. Actually, all six-or-so of my dakimakura are still factory sealed...except the Rustle one, which I opened for photographing purposes. I need to get a good pillow for it........ ...Totally normal.

I am a sword nerd..er...ahem..sword enthusiast. Aw who am I kidding? I currently have about 100 sword pics saved on my computer from all over the web. Be it a sword for sale or a custom. I've even got pictures from this forum of fellow forumites pieces. I am A sword nerd. Recieving new swords is such a freakin gratifying rush. Holding that new sword in your hand for the first time is the lift off point. I think I relized I was a hopeless swordaholic a few years back. I'm a sword geek and proud of it.

My girlfriend called me the one day shes like "what you doing" my reply "looking at porn" shes like "really ?" I reply "no I'm looking at cool swords" she says "y know the first one would have made you normal..." When we're watching TV or a movie and nice sword or a swordfight come on screen, my wife goes, "John's got a semprini," in this little sing-song.

"Dakimakura pillow talk." Oh, the various ways that can be twisted around... Hearing everyone here talk about the various emotions they feel upon receipt of a new sword takes me back. I haven't felt that way in a number of years. Every sword I get has to first run a thorough examination of quality and value assessment, alongside general handling evaluations, and I get so analytical of every detail that I simply cannot become enthused, especially when I take into account the "more important" things the money I just spent on this thing could have gone toward. Granted, once I adapt to each new acquisition and move on from the expense, I begin to appreciate what I have. Most recently I have come to thoroughly enjoy my "new" 15" sirupate khukri, and having it in-hand has even given me a sort of renewed respect for my I-forget-which-model Army issue. Things like that are sometimes "nice" in their own ways.

Blah, whatever. Being a nerd is fantastic--I've had a much more fulfilling life once I admitted I was a nerd and fully embraced it (and that includes success with women).
I think it's silly people feel ashamed of being a nerd. There's a quote by John Green I like about it:
"…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you... are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’." — John Green
When you are enthusiastic about the things you love, but you're still able to participate in life and function socially, people want to be apart of your enthusiastic life.
I'm a sword nerd and damn proud. Why would I ever want to be "normal"? Normal people are miserable.

You can't be a nerd and be socially functional that is an oxymoron
