I may not be drunk yet. I believe what constitutes drunkenness includes a lot of stumbling and a general inability to form coherent sentences. See? I'm not there.
You know, I thought I was pretty far on the nerd end of the people spectrum. Then I started playing D&D Minis and programming got even more exciting. The two are entirely unrelated, but both of them push me a little further into total geek territory. Even my Mexican roommate recognizes my transition to nerdity. All things considered, its really not that bad. The being a loser, I mean. It feels more natural than trying to fit in with everyone else.
Since starting college, I have completely stopped caring. I didn't care before, but now its even less. I only have to actually get along with three people, and one of them is never there. I can walk around naked if I feel like it, but I won't. I don't trust them...I care more about keeping just the minimum grades for this scholarship (just the minimum!) than getting laid, but should the opportunity for the latter present itself, I will certainly take it. I just won't pursue it. This is also due to my laziness.
In effect I am doing everything I want to do, and nothing anyone else wants me to. I am doing exactly what makes me happy. I'm like a technological hippy. Sort of...Except for the making love instead of war. I make code instead of love. Yeah, it's shitty low level code, and yeah, I've got a few years before I'm really worth anything, but it's what I enjoy.
Somebody in an art class was talking about their major (we're all freshman, so we're pretty new at this). I think he was computer science. He said something about how "the software engineering guys sit around and program for hours. That would be so boring, I don't know how I could do that." That would be ok, except that the difference between a CS and SE major is about ten courses, and most of those are in software architecture and design, not the actual programming. That pissed me off. Instead of hitting him mutliple times, I just went back to drawing henna on my arm. It was our assignment, I am no Indian...
So the point is I should do what I enjoy. I've been doing a little programming here and there, and I've always liked it. Now its OOP--real OOP, not crappy high school OOP. I still like it. I like it even more, actually.
Well, that's the end of that. You can apply this to you too. I don't even care what people think about me, and I feel super. Just spectacular. I might hit ten reviews on this. Enjoy, bitches.
