I'm married and have been with my husband for 25 years. Going to CP at least once a year was always part of the deal. He likes roller coasters, but isn't an "enthusiast" like I am. He indulges me, tho. He rode coasters in Vegas with me, went to Michigan's Adventure last year, and attended Coasterbuzz Con with me at PKI. If I want to go to an event and he doesn't, I'm still able to go.

I introduced my girlfriend to both of my hobbies, coasters and 311, and she's grown a liking to both now. And she introduced me to, well let me just say a certain type of baseball. ;)
Well I wouldn't call my girlfirend an enthusiast like myself, but she does love going on rollercoasters and makes it a point to go with me in the summer more than once.

She's been a great sport about the whole thing. We always go to parks together (except PKI...she really doesn't like it there) and her coaster count is only about 5 or so less than mine. She's by no means an enthusiast, but she's always enjoyed herself on our trips, even our first "enthusiast" event, SRM.

Doesn't it seem as though morons always have the caps lock on?
Oh well she was a bia anyways.;)

Stop the lawyers, not the rides!
Married 13 years and my wife can't STAND it. She thinks all of you are a bunch of total weirdos and I am the head king of all freaks. She utterly despises CP and in all likelihood will never visit again.
She even managed to convince CoastaBaby to bail out of the CPlaya 100--which CBaby has never stopped kicking herself for doing.
On the other hand, Playette has purchased a VF season pass, accompanied me to USF/IOA and even suggested adding BGT to the trip. If you asked her where she'd like to vacation next, PCW would actually be #3 or #4 on the list.
I don't think she's figured herself out yet.

The CPlaya 100--6 days, 9 parks, 47 coasters, 2037 miles and a winner.....LoCoSuMo.
Well, I don't know much about this yet, I've never really had a serious g/f or anything like that, just basically close friends. I don't think it's geeky, I mean, almost everybody has a hobby that seems weird to some people (hey, I know guys who collect beanie babies, and NOT to sell them for money). I like alternative/rock/punk music, coasters (obviously), Notre Dame sports especially football, collect sports cards, play a lot of sports, and have a good size collection of posters.

I was hoping someone would get it...
I got it, it's just not very funny!

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it!
Well I have been with my fiance for over 2 years now and about 1 month after we got together we did a rode trip from Maryland to do CP, PKI, and SFWoA. It didn't take much convincing because she loves coasters too. In fact, the guy she was with before me refused to go on coasters...she forced him to take her to parks and stand there and watch her as she got on all the coasters. Neither of us are geeky and our friends/co-workers think that we have a cool hobby. They are always asking us about our trips and the coasters that we rode.
Happy Coastering!
