Mailorder: As you know, you're always free to chill with our crew! We like anime and video games so we're all pretty nerdy at the core. And don't worry about your quirks, everyone's got a social twitch. If you really say something inappropriate like wanting to rape someone's dead mother, we'd probably let it slide and then let you know later to turn it down a bit without alienating you and making you feel like you shouldn't talk to another person ever again.

GAR: Nerdy? More like GEEKY. I don't think any of you sit down and talk about programming or physics. Stop saying you're nerdy when you're all just a bunch of geeks!

Mailorder: Haha, I guess you're right. My co-workers were talking "Anathem" by Neal Stephenson, some almost 1000 page sci-fi about quantum physics or something. I envied their conversation because it sounded so interesting, but I simply couldn't add to it. I don't even have the patience to finish a book that's more than 300 pages without Spark Notes. There's a flaw to being outgoing right there... imagination is limited when you're in the comfort of your personal space, even when with a good book.
