So, there’s the notion of the unwashed nerd, and their many social failings that is popular among my more mainstream friends. When hanging out among my nerd friends, I have noticed trends that I like, and trends that cause me to roll my eyes. Sadly, they are often the same trend applied in different circumstances. I myself regularly fall prey to some of them. Most especially the notion that a friend of a friend is a friend. So appealing, and yet so very not the case.
I urge you to check out this article to get a better notion of what makes me tick in my charmingly neurotic ways. I hope to use the reflection this has prompted to seperate a bit of the neurosis from a bit of the charm. =) Read it and you might even figure out a bit about yourself.
