Yeah, it only takes 30 seconds to make crappy insults like the drivel you type.

Yes, look at me, I'm so sad. I sit on my computer all day and I never go outside. I have no friends. In school, I am one of those "computer geeks" who gets bullied and sits in the library talking about maths equations and the good old days of dungeons and dragons. I've never tried alcohol, that's naughty.

Pffft, if you really believe that then YOU'RE the sad one. :P

I was just wondering what's wrong with talking about math and D&D. It just so happens that math is my best subject in school, and I've been playing D&D for the past three or four years. I spend a lot of time reading, and I am considered to be a computer geek by most of the people that know me. I spend most of my time inside, but only because I live in the middle of nowhere and there's nothing to do here. I do have friends, and I tried alcohol when I was 13, but I didn't like it. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, but that's mostly when I'm writing. I don't get bullied because I'm not a scrawny wimp (I'm 6'2" and weigh 220 lbs). I also have glasses that are about an inch thick and obscure about a third of my face. Without them, I can only see something clearly if it's less than two feet away. I know a lot of that is awfully convenient, but I swear it's the truth.
I'm not offended or anything, I was just wondering if you knew any of that.

Absolutely nothing at all. I was merely describing the common stereotype of so-called "Computer Geeks". Many people think that if you enjoy computers or indeed any of the other things listed, then you automatically fall into the other categories too. There is absolutely nothing wrong with liking/being any of the things listed! Indeed, I like some of them too.

That's okay. I don't have a problem with being called a geek or a nerd, because I know I am. On top of everthing I mentioned earlier, I wear plaid button-down shirts and slacks every day, I comb my hair to the side and keep it about two or three inches long, I write, I draw, and I hate almost any sport that requires vigorous physical activity. If that isn't a nerd, I'd like to know what is.
Anyway, on an almost unrelated topic; did you get my e-mail?
