I Just Read The Best Essay

[DeeDub]

While idly browsing the Internet instead of doing my work, I stumbled across what may be the best essay ever written on the subject of being a nerd in the disfunctional society known as high school.

It's very long and just as enlightening.

An insightful bit of work

Funny, I used to have this image of nerds as a very narrow, specific animal - math or science or music geeks with whiny high-pitched voices, stale clothing and funny hair. It took me years after college to realize that they came in all shapes, sizes and appearances...and that I was one of them.
