Hi guys! My name is Lewis and I am excited to talk to you guys.
I am a freshman and my class is too big for anyone to really make fun of you. It really depends on how much diversity there is. For example, I went to a middle school in a rural area and I had problems being myself. Now that I go to a school with over 2,100 kids, my interests are not as important to others. Sure, my friends may call Super Sentai "Power Rangers", but I just remind myself that it's Saban's fault :D (Sorry if I offended anyone). I do not go around proclaiming my love for Toku, but I will never hide it from anyone. You think I am childish, go ahead. I am not going to change so I can be a "normal person". Being normal sucks, I could not imagine life without this wonderful hobby. People's reactions may even suprise you. For example: Today I had to talk to someone about my favorite TV character in english class. Obviously it was Takumi, but to my suprise, the guy looked at my paper and went "Kamen Rider? You mean Dragon Knight?" I facepalmed while he wrote down "Kamen Rider Faiz" so he could try it out later. To conclude, why not talk about Toku? From writing it down on a piece of paper to screaming "HENSHIN!" in the hallway, I really do not see a problem. If people do not like it, sucks for them. Because they are missing out on the best series ever :D!

I don't openly broadcast what I do. I don't want the attention. This is my side-job, my side-career if you will. I don't want it to become my only career, and I'd rather not try and explain myself to every single person that I deal with on a daily basis.

It's different at conventions - I will rep the site with a shirt and hand out business cards and shake EVERYONE'S hand. At a convention, I want everyone to know who I am and what I represent. It's why I'm going to Power Morphicon - I can't afford it so quickly after SDCC, but I need to go to at least represent.

She spent 15 minutes talking about why she doesn't like Baron last night. It was pretty entertaining.
