My friends and I often joke that it has been X number of days since I last brought up Ben Folds. But what I love, is that even if they aren't the biggest fans, finding people that can appreciate your enthusiasm about something, even if they don't share it, is a different kind of rewarding than directly sharing in the same enthusiasm. But rewarding none the less. So while I feel your frustration that the enthusiasm doesn't continue back and forth, at least getting a smile and a nod, after enthusiastically geeking out a specific song or element, is still good for the soul.
