I grew up in a tiny town where being different made life hellish. I wish I would have had access to the internet and people like Wil Wheaton to show that being different was ok. It took me a very long time to accept my nerdy tendencies. I resisted the lure of technology and science-fiction until I was an adult because I didn't want to be a "nerd." I didn't want people to look at me funny because I didn't like the same thing as the popular kids. Now, I'm ok with who I am. I still have days where I feel not good enough, but overall I like the things I like and I'm fine with that.
I'm passionate and obsessive, and damn proud to be a nerd.
