"Two Nerds in Love" doesn't exist anymore...
let's just get one thing straight here...Indiana messed me up. I hate Johnny and Alex for what they did to me and how they took my courage and my ideals and my hope that the world was decent and flushed it down the toilet along with my soco ranked vomit.
I've wanted to get over my problem and with the use of therapy, I seem to be getting better to understanding why I am the way I am after New Years 2002. And through my false love of Pete Schiller, the 50 year old man stuck in a 15 year old's body...I thought I was cured. But it occurs to me now, and yes some people have told me this...I go for the safe ones. Ones I know who could never mistreat a woman.
so go to college looking for the safe one and who do you get? That's right: Braden Lamb.
I adore Braden for his dry wit...his love of Clerks animated...but just by looking at his room, his side parted hair (a friend of mine told me any guy who parts his hair on the side has problems) and his love for cartoons. But Braden, like Kevin says, is stuck in a pre pubescent world of dinosaurs and leggos. He is, unforunately like me in that he hides behind a journal full of cartoon worlds. His character is Stephanie the duck...mine is Annie Viller...hiding in your journal can be caustic to your life. Lord knows I resent Annie for what she did to me. She stole my social fabric.
Braden and I are two boats drifting apart...a fine metaphor...or any metaphor will do at least. We're two socially awkward kids in a world where what we watch on TV is the norm. I am 19 years old...I should be having sex with many people I dont know. I tried that...and look where that got me. So society is full of shit.
Braden just turned 22 years old...by America's standards he should be getting a job...going out with the boys and getting a beer...hitting on younger women, watching sports. Braden is a social drinker yes, I applaud him that he knows how to drink like a man. But sadly i must confirm that that's all that makes him a man. Other than that he's but a small child in a world that frightens him
So what happens now? Patience fellow viewers...
For I'm sure this is only the beginning of a socially awkward journey into romance
