A Whole New Nerd [Single White Nerd]

May 21, 2012 8 Comments by

On Friday night, I found myself in a sharing circle.  Actually, it was a birthday party.  We happened to be sitting in a circle and sharing.  It was much more fun than it may sound.  We had pizza. At some point, the circle splintered into smaller groups.  I talked to an artist for a while; [...]

A Nerd Goes (In)Sane [Single White Nerd]

May 07, 2012 5 Comments by

I walk into my supervisor’s office.  “This,” I say as I pull out a chair, “is going to be a sort of awkward conversation.” I’ve been building up to this conversation for weeks.  I’ve also been putting it off for weeks.  My inability to initiate this talk has dragged me into spirals of self-loathing and [...]

I Lie in Bed [Single White Nerd]

Apr 23, 2012 1 Comment by

I lie in bed. I’ve been lying in bed.  I keep lying in bed. I’m not particularly enjoying lying in bed.  I’d like to get out of bed.  I know that if I get out of bed and do 50 jumping jacks, I’ll feel better.  It really wouldn’t take much.  Just swing my legs over [...]

Seductive Magic–Presto! [Single White Nerd]

Apr 09, 2012 No Comments by

I’m sitting across from a girl on a couch. I whip out a deck of cards. “Want to see a magic trick,” I say. She smiles broadly. ”Yes.”  Awesome. For the past couple weeks, I have been taking magic classes at the (world renowned) Magic Castle. The class is mostly dudes.  I’m guessing that most of these [...]

The Nonexistent Nerd [Single White Nerd]

Feb 27, 2012 1 Comment by

The day I ceased to exist stood out only in its unremarkability. I woke up, did fifty jumping jacks, some squats, a few pushups.  I watched some porn on the internet, shook my head in disgusted titillation, and hopped into the shower. I emerged, dried, pulled on some faintly wrinkled khakis and a button down [...]

(Not) on Love [Single White Nerd]

Feb 13, 2012 Comments Off by

I’m supposed to write about love–pro or con or whatever–today.  And I find that, though I am the Single White Nerd and, as such, this should be right kablammo in the center of my wheelhouse, I do not want to.  Which is odd.  Because normally I’d jump at the chance to write some sort of [...]

Why I Love Theater [Single White Nerd]

Jan 30, 2012 2 Comments by

About an hour ago, a play handed me my ass. “Here you go,” it said, “have your ass.” In this case, “ass handed” means inspired, galvanized, surprised and moved. It reminded me why I love theater. Here’s the thing–this show, the one I just saw, I shouldn’t have liked it. It’s not for me. It’s about the [...]

Have you guys been reading some of the crazy blogs about dating on this site?  I mean, sexting, sponsored international travel, smooching on the brother of the guy you met on an online dating website for people seeking sugar daddies. Hot damn. I can’t hold a candle to that. Not even gonna try. You know [...]
