I wouldn't say I'm a full on otaku, I have a social life and none of my interests are the end all, be all in my life, though they take a decent % of my time.

Quote from Razril

Yea, totally agree. I mean, I don't see why it's sooo offensive either... especially if it's not true or if it isn't used as a derogatory term (like how most Westerners use it, not like the original Jap meaning).

Actually, even in Japanese, being called an 'otaku' has a negative connotation. It's means you're a weirdo (and a geek-- in the negative sense). Most Japanese people would imagine it as someone who stays locked up in their small houses, full of merchandise of whatever it is they're obsessing about, never seeing the sun, no social life, etc. It encompasses a whole lot of obsessions, not just manga. If you're a geeky die-hard star trek fan who knows every single detail about it, costumes, and whatnot, you're still an otaku. It's not just manga or anime.

I know. When I say "otaku", I'm not using the orignal Japanese meaning (i.e. someone who's totally obsessed with something and locks in their rooms blah blah blah...) and use it more lightly (mostly like an inside joke for people who hates that word ^^), like how most Western anime/manga fans would use it. You prolly misread what I said? Or maybe I wasn't clear.

Between the 3rd and fourth. I have a lot of boring time, so I read a lot. However, I play my guitar more often.

First one. Manga/Anime[whispers Yaoi] is life. 😛

I read manga and play video games when I have free time. I don't have alot of free time. I'd say I take about 3 or 4 hours a day to either play video games, watch tv or read manga

More or less.
I really don't want to think of myself as an otaku. When I was reading Genshiken there was part where members in the club all had theme ringtones. As I was reading that part I thought to myself "I hope that doesn't make me an otaku" since I have anime and game ringtones.

Depends which ringtone. xD 70% of the time, it is a little bit otaku though. A little bit! xP
