...of security. I act all normal, giving off the impression that I might be a little off-centre, but still a normal kinda guy, before BAM! It's too late for them to back out of the friendship/relationship, and I hit 'em with the full force of my geekosity. Works every time. Kind of.
: : -- His report should've been on finding the 'normal' people at the ComiCon.
: -Normal people don't go to Cons. Hell, even if some kid dragged his parents so he could get into the preview of some new XXX Konami game, his parents couldn't be considered normal- they are letting their kids check out XXX Konami games, aren't they?
-- I want an XXX Konami game now. How do you masturbate to them though? You'd have to use the controller with your feet or something, and that's always lead to severe cramps in my experience.

: :I'd love to go, but I wouldn't tell anyone I'd been. Yeah, I'm a self-loathing nerd.
: -I am a nerd, but everyone already knows, so I don't worry. I'm into all of that nerdy stuff- computers, sci-fi and fantasy, movies in general, math and science, classic lit, basically everything you can be a geek of, without including music. I love classical music, but I know next to nothing about music in general. Bask in your geek status, man. People won't think you're cool, but that doesn't matter anyway, right?
-- Let's see... I post on more than one web-board, I reads me the comics, I buys me the occasional action figure, I likes me the sci-fi & fantasy flicks and by next week, I'll own two t-shirts which have images from web-comics on them (Intelligent Brian & Homestar Runner, if you're curious). So I suppose I'm a reasonable geek, but even though I study literature, I find it almost impossible to enjoy the majority of the 'classics'. So instead of being a clever geek, I'm a stupid one. Humph.
