Truly A Coaster Fanatic?

Have any of you guys gone out of your way to prove that your obsessed with coasters? Like at my high school we had homecoming week, and one day was Fanatic Day. I had a Volcano hat (actually it was an ordinary Adidas hat, but my mom sewed on a Volcano patch to the front), my Georgia Scorcher shirt, regular khaki (sp?) pants, a rolled up issue of RollerCoaster! magazine in one back pocket and my ACE membership card in the other back pocket. Then I had an ACE jacket tied around my waist. I got some wierd looks and the seniors stole my magazine for a few periods, but I didn't care. (We only have 186 students in our entire high school anyway). I was proud to be an enthusiast! Anyone else have an experience like this? :D

lol. Me neither. Most people wouldn't realize what in the world I was doing, because by talking with some of them, they aren't too knowledgeable about coasters. I doubt anyone would know what ACE is or GS or V:BC anyway. Nice school spirit!

Everyone that I know at my school pretty much goes to me for amuesment park questions/comments. They know I have a unhealthy liking of coasters. I have heard several time, "This kid wears a coaster short every day." or "Do you get a shirt for every ride you go on?"

Well, the biggest thing that I have done, is worn my SF shirt, and drew coasters all day long. Then someone told me that my obsession is sick, and unhealthy. I don't care though, I LOVE COASTERS!!!

Well... kinda. Half my school papers/speeches/reports are about coasters, I occasionally wear a coaster shirt (but not to school, I'd get weird looks at mine), and I draw coasters all day. People know of my knowledge of coasters, and they'll sometimes ask me questions. Other than that, I don't go out of my way to prove that I'm a coaster enthusiast.

i try not to show it that much, everyone knows i'm into freestyle skiing tho by the inside of my locker with all my pics of me pullin off sick moves, but if i'm bored in a class i just draw B&M's on the back of my notebooks. one kinda follows kumba's layout and the other is what i think wud be the sickest of all b&m's, a curving 150 ft drop, huge immelman, incline loop, cobra roll, barrel roll, vertical loop and then interlocking corkscrews.

i've done some stuff, no shirts, i don't want to die. But I always talk about rollercoasters. Almost all of my reports with free topics are about coasters. Most of my freinds try to search up bogus facts and quiz me, but i ask them a simple question and they get it wrong. And I usually get most of their questionis right. But none of them know where the Bili-Bili is :D. Do you?

Ditto.

I'm a WWF fanatic too, but I don't dress in all WWF clothing, unless I'll be with my own during a WWF event.

The people I work with think I'm fanatical about coasters. I have a pic of MF as my wallpaper, when MF was being built, I checked the site daily and posted the layout on the wall in my office, and this week when I was asked to test our new email creation/maintenance program, I created three new "test" accounts:

Login name: magnum First name: Hyper Last name: Coaster
mantis Standup Coaster
raptor Rules Thesky

The two techies programming the system just shook their heads and said I was obsessive.
