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

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."

This is why I married a geek. He complements my geek behavior well and is amused rather than appalled when I fail to meet social norms.

That was so sad - if you can't be yourself - your true self - around your girlfriend, then why be around her at all?

I made my boy get a copy of old TRON for me last night, and he laughed at me. But he did it anyway.

Although I will admit I don't have a girlfriend!

Same here. Starr is insisting we make the pilgrimage to an IMAX 3D theater to see it, and after we showed Celia the original TRON last night, she signed right up for the trip.

Someone is stuck in the nineties, it seems, not the eighties.

I'm also an overweight thirty-something geek, and I also like having a girlfriend, and a wife.

I haven't talked about this with the girlfriend, but the wife is far more interested in TRON than I am. She may drag me there.

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)
