My nerd power level.

Chagen

It's too low.

I can barely walk into an anime store without getting all nervous. A store I like, Ooples, was selling tickets to a con, San Japan. There was like 80 people there, which was impressive for a tiny store not much bigger than a living room (nearly everyone was outside--Ooples is inside a mall--, though).

I felt very nervous in there. It's like....my nerd power level isn't high enough. I didn't feel like a true nerd, like I belonged in that store. Everyone else there seemed so much more passionate than I did about anime/manga....

Has anyone else ever had this feeling?

I ended up buying a Ticket and a Haruhi-Chan T-shirt, though.....so it wasn't all bad. And a girl implied that she found my shyness cute~

Radd

That's a good thing.

I'm pretty sure you're just looking at the hardcore idiots who grind too much and burn all their food money on cash items to boost their damage.

RedEyedAbyss

You think that's low? Try not being all that involved in anime on this forum.

Perhaps your power level is too high.

Uh, this is a serious IJBM.

I wonder why I feel so nervous around my own kind.

I'm to nervous to walk into any store by myself, and I'm nearly 21, so...

DYRE

^ This.

Except I'm not 21.

DonZabu

^^^^ Twitter sucks, man.

Counterclock

Why does walking into stores cause you all so much Ire?

I'm a music nerd, but thankfully I can download most of it over the Internet BUY IT ON ITUNES THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GOOD SIR.

DYRE

^^ Because I get nervous and I have a hard time dealing with talking to people at the cash register.  Especially for fast-food where you have to actually tell them what you want.

MadassAlex

This is probably presumptuous of me, but I often feel like a kind of alpha-nerd. Because I know that a lot of nerds are very passive, I can essentially control most social situations involving others of my ilk.

It's kind of horrible writing it out, but that's how it often is.

The only problem I have is when the cashier tries to have a chat with me or something about the product i'm buying.

MadassAlex

I like that, personally.

GLORIOUSLeader

I like that too. Though only if they actually have something interesting to say. So especially in record stores, whenever I feel like going to them nowadays.

Wait actually I think I only have that problem when they're talking about online games for some reason.

Or when I just don't know what the hell they're talking about.

@Clock: They're all anti-social weeaboos. Duh.

Ooples

Aww, that's cute.

Also, how is this a bad thing?

Counterclock

^ Well still, that's pretty silly!

Bob

Exactly.

Counterclock

Shall we tear through the stores while they watch helplessly outside due to their paranoia?

Bob

Yes.
