Otaku, a word borrowed from the Japanese (thank you), used to describe people who are consumed by their passion(s) - more commonly understood as obsession. Here, in 'Murica, the connotation is a little different (and more positive in some regards): it tends to be used by the culprits themselves who proclaim to love Japanese culture and/or entertainment. Both tend to be lacking in social skills and knowledge of proper social etiquette and are quite eccentric.
I am, in my opinion, a fairly high-functioning "otaku". Understand it with a bit of salt on your tongue and some restraint in your brain. I'd like to tell you (the world or really the random people who find me here dawdling on and on) a bit about my adventures and of my obsessions. What a scary thought to be perfectly honest.
Dear me, let's hopefully shed some light on a culture of nerd. So here is to the adventures I'll share and may the jokes and banter ensue.
