Overcoming Your Nerd-Dom

[sobrique]

Now I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but theferrett does write some really good stuff.
This one is about:
Overcoming your Nerd-dom

And aside from such flagrant use of a horrible Americanism (which I guess I'll allow, given that ... well, he is) it's really rather good.

hmmm... sometimes people really are too polite. I found that when being introduced to Mai's dutch friends and occasionally being encouraged to geek tremendously, just so they can have an insight into what sort of guy she managed to pick up. I treat those occasions with deep suspicion and try to make it as easy to understand as possible and only cover general concepts.

Otherwise, i try to avoid geek with normal people. It just doesn't work :)

Then again, i'm not one to be very sociable in general. I wonder if my lack of interest in other areas is the cause of it. Then again, its just so easy to just stick to what I know and not do anything else when i get home, so I never develope the capability to speak about something else.

Been thinking about it, so maybe i should give myself a kick and vary the diet of entertainment and other non worky things i do. :)
