Personally, I'm rather proud of my geekiness. I've never really fit in with people my own age. It's not so much that lots of people hate me, I just feel like people don't really want me around. But that's okay. I have 3 good friends my age, and I get along much better with adults than those my own age. I have one firend who's 18 years older than I am (she also has the same birthday as JRRT - I'm so jealous!). I find that if people dislike me because I'm into music that was cool when my parents were kids, or I dress differently than they do, or I have very different politics than almost everybody where I live, or I'm constantly talking about LotR, it's really their problem, not mine. I think my vocabulary of elvish insults helps, though! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I really think I have more friends here on the 'Downs than in "real life." Nobody's really mean or judgemental here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
