The geek dance

One of the funny things about being a geek like myself is that you spend most of your life going around trying to convince people you’re more or less normal—yes, yes, I understand how to have a conversation, yeah, I can order coffee, what’s that? No I wasn’t talking about Babylon 5, where did you get that idea?

But then you meet someone else who’s a little bit geeky, and it suddenly becomes a contest to see who’s geekier. It’d be funnier if it didn’t feel so pathetic ;)
