what is really funny…
is when you are with someone who is playing some strange online game and talking to people neither of you can see, but you especially can’t even hear, and so it seems as though they are talking to either you or themself. Which is very strange and otherworldly. And nerdy. Here I thought I was the biggest nerd because I wanted to play some sort of quest-like PC game where I could be something fun like an elf….but then my computer wasn’t nerdy enough to support the game, dammit. But turns out…this is NOT the height or nerdiness. AND the people who are far more nerdy didn’t even feel like they were crossing some nerd barrier to get where they were going, like I did. They didn’t think it was weird at all. Which I guess means they are truer nerds than I am. Or perhaps the word nerd is insufficient, since nerd, nowadays, is less negative than it used to be.
Weird. And funny.
