^^ lol my bro has a simliar idea of our type.... "looking at boring white dots in the sky" and my dad..... "it's all the same stuff over and over again" sometimes they both do show some interest though, like asking me some questions about astronomy
My husband calls star parties "GeekFests" and as a generalisation, Astronomers are the "Socks and Sandals" crowd.
As funny as I find that statement, I would hereby like to officially announce to all and sundry that I have NEVER IN MY LIFE worn socks with sandals, surely the greatest fashion faux pas that there is.
My usual viewing footwear consists of army boots with no socks.
Dunno what they call us but like the Good Doctor, I think of myself as a "citizen of the universe and a gentleman to boot" (with excellent fashion sense)
In Summer, I'll admit to wearing a pair of socks under my sandals to keep the mozzies from biting my toes.
Just don't pull your socks up to your knees while wearing shorts. That just too sad.
Well i dont know what i am. i think confused sometimes.! Im a engineer that spends no time in the engineering Common room, i live in the "Astronomy" Lab at uni.... I love getting my hands dirty, can build just about anything yet my miss's calls me a metro :S hehehe then gets angry at me because i ware shorts and shirt with thongs in the middle of winter while looking at the hevens because aparently the sight of me out there like that makes her feel cold ... pfffft. or as one of my mates has kindly said, Do you ever ware anything other than shorts shirt and thongs?. so this is what i say,
Im a confused star nut. ;D with only one thing that i know is clear. I LOVE TO LOOK AT THE STARS
