Nerd Convention

I almost wrote 'Geek Convention' but that's just too nice. If you've never been to a nerd convention, I highly recommend it. Especially if you were a nerd previously, and have found your way to geekdom, this is the place that will confirm just how far you have come. I'm currently at the APS March Meeting- a gathering of many of the world's prominent and not so prominent physicists. They really are a sad group of pimply (or the bad skin that comes from post pimples), glasses on everyone, bald hair with the long pre-balding hair that they never cut, not to mention the jinormous gearth some of these men have- wow. The women are even sadder. They've speant the majority of their female lives dealing with the over inflated ego of horny nerds, so they've tried to blend into the shadows, instead of standing out like the gemstones that women really are. They wear frumpy clothes which hide their curves, most are very very pimply (like the rocky mountians pimply), and they walk around with this beaten over the head look in their eyes. Its just sooooo damn sad and pathetic here- my mind is reeling. I just wish these people would pull each others heads out of each others asses, wake up and realize that they can actually make a change to the world. These people are all very smart, but its like being smart has become the center of their focus, and this event embodies that idea because it gives them all a forum where they can say, "Look at how SMART I AM!!!"
