I'm so glad I'm not cool.

My abfave advice columnist, Cary Tennis over at salon.com wrote this really cool response to a LW: http://www.salon.com/mwt/col/tenn/2007/04/12/hipsters/index.html

My 2 cents--

Geek Love

"...beauty and the intoxication of (being) cool, the automatic, nonlinear, simultaneous cultural recognition that is an ancient phenomenon of tribalism, or belonging, or religious ecstasy."

Ah. Sweet.

Exactly what I felt when I walked into the Star Trek convention and a pimply guy with spindly arms wearing a stained t-shirt with cut-off sleeves and enormous Bermuda shorts pulled high up on his body grinned at me with chipped brown teeth and flashed me the Vulcan greeting.

I would've fucked him if he didn't have a girlfriend.
