I loved that shirt. XD

Yeah, I just don't understand what's so uncool about, say, being able to pick up a Studio Ghibli flick at Target, or access... fffff, an entire database of fanfiction at once.

But I think it's exactly what you said, and despite his assertions of having to wait and isolation and blah de freaking blah? He ADMITS to having a circle of geekazoid friends who were in to the same things as him, a community he could share in--this butted up against the whining that communities for this type of thing destroy. He was never lonely, so how dare you use this as a commonality to make yourself feel less alone. What-an-ass! :D

He just reminds me so much of my brother, or a million of the other privileged white het male nerds who feel somehow Special Snowflakey come OMG ALIENATED FOR BEING SMART!!! (Which is another type of being a Special Snowflake, srsly. Also, with that alienation, wait until you've been female, married, and trying to join "a mommy circle"), and they see their nerdery as first a shelter, than a way to become our philosopher kings with their specialized arcane knowledge

... Wow, I'm sorry. You just know how I feel about the whole "special" thing. It runs rampant in my family and I've fought hard to check it in myself. I... can't... stand it... in others.
