this thought came to me when i was thinking about the kind of stuff people write on their t-shirts.
i saw a girl wearing a shirt saying something like, "I wanted it, I threw a tantrum, I got it." and in my head i was going "poor girl, you've never known anyone with the courage to stand up to you and discipline you."
i started thinking about the kind of shirts i like... they usually involve horrendously bad puns, or in-jokes which not everyone will understand. example of the former: "Christians have the best sects" example of the latter: "There are only 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't."
i suppose it's part of geek culture to be proud of the fact that you have accrued ostentatious amounts of obscure information, and also to show off your vocabulary every now and then. :D
i am beginning to understand that this is a bad thing. i do like to show off what i know at the expense of loving others. praying for change.
i mean, seriously! i even read webcomics! how geeky is that?
