But really. We've all been there. Don't tell me you've never found yourself in a situation where you become too nerdy/geeky without noticing, only to finally realize it by the weird looks everyone has been giving you? Do share!

That is such a mood... with me it's the Silmarillion, which is geeky even for Tolkien fans. Also my obsessive interest with history (yes, problematic history and all).

Another option is Kierkegaard. No matter how depressed you are, he's more depressed.

"Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." [Ogden's translation.]

I get the geekiness thing. I get the shut-out-the-rest-of-the-world thing. I get the idea of minutiae and recondite knowledge; and I fully understand how to bore people to death with it - in fact I may be a master.

There is a spectrum and we are all on it. Somewhere.

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
