Dec 2012

Quiet, geeky, into early home computers, at the top of my class academically, isolated at home, not allowed to participate in any activities, terrible at sports in gym class, which I hated (ironic coming the guy who signed up for an entire year of personal training to take me all through 2013), socially awkward, and I related very poorly to other guys because I knew nothing about sports, cars, or women.
