I don’t think I’ve been in the alone in the condo for more than a couple days, in the last 3-4 years. It used to happen often, when Z was in school and I was working. Now, she’s left me….for seven days.

How shall I deal with the incredibly quiet home? Where each individual silent thought is so loud, it may as well be someone screaming at me? *quickly going crazy*
By blogging at 8pm (when was the last time that happened?), watching Sherlock (apparently), cleaning the condo and playing with my dwarf hamsters. That’s just today, who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Today, for dinner, I had some dirt and dust bunnies from underneath the stove as I’ve forgotten how to live and immediately turned into a savage.

Enough of this DAILY RANDOMNESS. Off to rewatch Sherlock, the best show ever.

I’m starting to really like Wil Wheaton…I didn’t realize how intelligent, compassionate, and sincere Wil Wheaton was until I watched these videos.

I think he so eloquently answers these questions in a helpful way, but also in a way that he truly understands and overcame these similar hurdles…

Even to my co-workers, even among (some of) my friends, even among my family – I can still be ridiculed for being a nerd or a geek. It’s frustrating – I don’t want to, nor should I, have to explain myself or the reason why I like things, or explain the nerd or geek culture – but sometimes I feel obligated to. Yes, it’s not the norm…does it make it wrong? No.

This ain’t Google (where, by watching The Intership, I realize I’d fit right in there) but I’m often surrounded by those who don’t understand nerds and geeks – but not only do they not understand, they ridicule or pass judgement. It’s frustrating fucking annoying as fuck.

I’ll say – being a nerd/geek is easier than it used to be. And I imagine it’ll get easier – gamers, nerds, geeks, hipsters even….they’re all building their own communities as it’s more normal than ever to be different.

Anyways…just posted those YouTube videos as I thought they were touching and useful, especially the first one.
