The jaw-drop of affinity

[primsong]

My son has a childhood friend visiting from CA, one of those times when you know they used to have a lot in common/two peas in a pod/the two amigos - but time passes and kids turn into teens and I wondered how it would go if interests had diverged too widely. Would they have enough common ground for any of that old affinity?

He arrived and was given a tour of the house, stepped into our library and saw... a bookcase stuffed top to bottom with ALL of Doctor Who on vhs tapes. Arm waving! Shrieking of "DOCTOR WHO!" and random bounding around the room hugging everyone in a euphoria of geekiness!!

I think we're okay. ;-)

Priceless. :)

Absolutely! Much better than those who see that and go "Uh....?" 0.o as if they'd found a line of unmentionables hanging up to dry instead of the treasure trove it is.

Aww.

Your icon is love.

It is refreshing to see a friendship withstand the ravages of adolescence, so many kids drift away from their 'little kid' friends then. :-)

That whole scene from Curse is love. :)

Yeah, all my childhood friendships drifted away, so I know how rare this is.

Ah, sci-fi geekiness! Next to music, the universal language! LOL

You said it! They've now worked through a good part of Three's era and are heading into some of Four - in between talking Runescape and Tom Clancy, lol...

[clocketpatch]

Yay!

Guess what we're now spending each evening watching? ;-D
His affinity is for Three and Four too! Nice to know all good taste is not wasted on us old folks.
