This!

Minus the technology, this was my adolescent though process. I have to admit, I still think this way sometimes. Objectively, I'm not sure I was all that wrong, really, since I did have occasion to interact with girls and get stomped on. My suspicion is that some conversations really would have gone like this, but most would not. Hindsight being, in my case, about 30/40 I'm still not sure, but I suspect much of it was in my head. Even some of the girls who made fun of what I was reading were really just trying to come up with better conversation. I like to think that some things really are as we remember them, though.

*sigh* Oh well. At least another day has come where XKCD perfectly articulates one of my thoughts.
