I think it's easy for me to open in RL because the people I know are either geeks/artists or that every interest that is NOT OU football is weird to them. I used the example to adis723 that most people in RL that I write (er, or that I can write, not much of the actual practice going on these days.) Most know that I wrote Buffy fanfic with an "online writer's group." Their reaction upon finding out was tepid (to comatose.) However, when I attempted recently to discuss the tour of the Harlem Renaissance exhibit at OKC's art museum with a few of my (non-geeky, non-artistic fans) my enthusiasm was met with, "I didn't get it. Most of it just made me feel bad for being white. Of course, YOU'D like it -- you're weird."
I think everyone should experience Oklahoma. Just once. :)
