You know i could just let the headline stay there, but I'll explain.

Presenting Arson Suspect # 1
Note the scarf. Now over on [livejournal.com profile] doctorwho they are debating whether or not that is a REAL Tom Baker scarf. I used to wear a long scarf to my high school - didn't even have more than one color - as well as a trench coat. Every time I passed by the stoner dude hang out I heard them yelling "Doctor Whooooooo" at me. Hell, one time I wasn't even wearing the scarf or the trench coat or the big floppy fedora (ok, so maybe I did get my fashion advice from Doctor Who. Is that wrong?) and I still heard it.

No point there. Just babbling. Move along.

I watched America's Top Model last night, because class was canceled and I couldn't let an writing opportunity pass by without wasting it on television.

One questions - if these are supposed to be models, shouldn't they be pretty? There were some fugly creatures walking around in front of the camera last night.

The Five Geek Fallacies

Actually they all boil down to one big fallacy - assuming that people that are just as weird as yourself are your bestest friends forever and you can say and do anything you want with them and accept them as pagan idols. Or just the fact that running into people with your geekiness does engender friendship, but it's not any more genuine than the friendships you made in high school (one or two MAYBE but not all of them)

I do remember my college days and trying to eek out some sort of morality and it was "Don't fuck with my friends" and that was pretty much it. I mean I had a hard time making them in the first place. Now I suspect at least 1 (if not a 2-3) of them of being a manipulative sociopath. Ok, The Sociopath Next Door is a dangerous book because you read these case histories and go "SO THAT'S what was going on!!" and they can explain everything about one or two relationships, but you start seeing it everywhere and in a social setting known for lack of normalcy and social skills, the first "sign" of a sociopath, ie. inability to conform with societal norms, kind of flies right out the window since if anyone had the ability to conform to societal norms in these settings, we wouldn't be wearing Spock ears and spinning around in circles to drum jams or spending hours talking abotu Doctor Who now would we?

But it is very easy for someone in this kind of setting to get away with a lot of harmful shit under the guise of being "a rebel against conventional morality."

Speaking of which - whose going to LunaCon. I'm doing at-door registration.
