I kept thinking to my self... suddenly all of these popular alt people want to be nerds. I remember how much I suffered as nerd in grade school and part of junior high school... the super thick glasses, the insecurity and finding refuge in books. Being a nerd was not being a popular kid, not in to theater, not in to sports, not in to clubs.... it was a bit lonely. I worked my butt off to de-nerd my self, played sports in high school, lifted weights, became a performer... but those insecurities stayed with me, and still do. I still read a lot more then most people, went back to wearing thick glasses, and am still not part of a so called popular click. I never was the square jaw punk singer, the flamboyant musical singer, the long haired metal G-d, the leading man. I was not the object of desire or the winner of any contest. I do not call my self a nerd anymore, I gave up that when I made the varsity team, when I began road tripping all over the place, when I despite stage fright I spent most of my life on stage. I am lucky to have found out that a not applying a label to myself was a much better way to go... Me, I just keep plugging along, but am not fooled that easy.
