I'm proud to have been called "four-eyes" for many years prior to getting my contacts. I understand that I waited to get a real hardcore sunburn until I was in my twenties, because I was more inclined to be inside reading than outside playing prior to that. I'm more than OK with the fact that I actually used to walk to and from school with a book in hand, trying not to get run over when crossing streets. I'm comfortable with having been described as "too smart for my own good", and I recognize that I started my adulthood with a deficit of street smarts and an excess of book smarts. I relate to Brick on ABC's The Middle and to the boys of The Big Bang Theory.
One thing I've never done: attend a comics convention. One thing I might be doing this year at the end of April: attending the C2E2 Chicago Comic Expo. Burt and Adam and Julie are all scheduled to be there (and I have a thing for the BatUniverse -- stemming back to when I watched the classic TV show when it was on in syndication after school when I was younger). Since we're ALL aging now (me included), that kind of opportunity might not come again (case in point -- there's already no chance Eartha or Burgess or Cesar or Frank could join them).
So in that spirit, I offer up this tune tonight ...
