... okay, my life isn't really all that bad

[jazzfish]

A commenter over at Scalzi's place: "As an overweight, thirty-something geek I wouldn’t be caught dead at the new TRON because I like having a girlfriend."

My immediate thought: "Seriously, dude? Both of mine are pretty excited about it."

And as an attractive, androphilic¹, twenty-something female geek, I wouldn't be caught dead talking to someone who's so obsessed with how he appears to the world that he refuses to acknowledge that there is such a thing as girls who like geeks.

Blarg. Unhappy Sor is unhappy. (And I haven't even seen the original Tron yet, yes I know, I'm awful)

~Sor

1: Androphile, person who likes men. Compare to Gynophile. May be spelled slightly wrong.

Not awful, just ignorant. Ignorance can be cured. Stupidity can't - and you are NOT stupid! (as proved by the above statement of what you wouldn't be caught dead talking to)

I /knew/ I liked you. (He seems like such a Nice Guy, too...)

The original is something that I can't really recommend to people: not because it's bad, but just because I literally can't tell whether it's good or not. I've known other people to be this way about, say, the Disney Robin Hood. I think it's fantastic; I also think that I may not be capable of seeing its flaws.

(An excellent word. And your spelling seems fine to me.)

Disney Robin Hood is seriously like the Best Disney Movie Ever. I love that one!

I wouldn't be caught dead talking, myself.

I think that would just be creepy. I mean, shambling around looking for brains dead is creepy enough. Talking would be worse.
