Earlier this evening, I was chatting on the phone with Angel. Got updates on the new home situation, and shot the breeze for a good while.
We somehow can't ever have a truly serious conversation, though. Inevitably, we start to giggle like lunatics over... I dunno, anything, really. I believe tonight we started on the topic of feral vs. domesticated nerds.
Yeah, you heard me. We started delineating traits seen in nerds in their wild state and how, depending on the amount of socialization they receive, they can adapt to normal day-to-day interactions with others. She worked with several here in Dallas who were still feral, the ones who had trouble with mandatory "fun" days because it involved talking to people, the ones who maybe haven't discovered soap and showers.
We laughed for a long, long time.

bwahahahahaha.
Oh man, this is even funnier if you are, say, an engineer, physicist, or computer scientist, or went to a school entirely populated by those.
Feral nerds.
I think we could probably apply for some kind of anthropologic grant to study the behavior patterns of feral nerds. It sounds as valid as some other studies I've read.
