    Reread this sentence Barmy :D

    I defy the stereotype because I'm a big gay. Most of my brethren are busily concealing their spots and straightening their hair while I hammer away at the keyboard! Score!

    Now when I was younger we didn't have these hipsters and hardly any rivetheads to speak of...

    ...and basically they're just pure nerds who look kinda funny...

    And emo kids? What the goshdurn is wrong with them? Geeks with existential angst? With their mascara dripping? Tear. :cry:

    Unless I'm misinformed here -- which is not only a possibility, but nearly a certainty... okay, ahem, now that I've established my credibility -- one big thing that's changed is the stigma around the word "geek."

    This used to be a grievous insult, but these days it's rather something to be proud of. I have plenty of geek in me, and I'm not ashamed one bit! In fact, I wouldn't mind it if I were a touch geekier!

    Geekiness is next to godliness... or something.
