I was thinking more of talking about architecture, construction etc. I usually
makes drawings and calculations before building, and that kind of work seem to
be very interesting for some, espceially when explaining.
I have noticed amezed people when explaining how buildings are build and using
names for detials... only a few actually understands that!
It is not only girls who think that you are "crazy", but in general people
around you. Keep in mind here, that if they cannot acept you as _you_ are, then
are they worth dealing with?
(comment: dont let Lego rule your life, keep it as a hobby. There are weirdos
enough in this world)
It also helps plannig playing with children (when you get them). I hope to raise
my children with relaxed - and intelligent - building rather that war and
destruction. (I have noticed how well AFOLs children behave vs "other
children").
