I wear a green lantern ring. I have a collection of my little pony ties. My house is littered with action figures. I have a hand knitted Tom Baker doctor scarf. Hell, my gorham url you got to me from was brandonkleonard.ninja I think it is fairly easy to say I am a proud nerd. But I don't like that term.
Shortly after I graduated high school I noticed something. There were people, normal people, calling themselves nerds. They read the Harry Potter books, or they bought a video game console. Suddenly they were calling each other that word like it was another term for friend or bro. Those ass holes didn't get dirty swirlies, or accused of making threats to the school because the school sold their prize darkroom equipment for sports gear, or pushed into the girls locker room. So fuck those people. They want to be nerds, fine, they can have it. I'll take ownership of another name I was called.
I am a loser.
