Okay, so a few days ago, a friend of mine sent me this link to a song called G33k & G4M3R Girls. She was really enthusiastic about it, and I'm glad she drew some enjoyment (and maybe even some empowerment) from it, but I found it just made me depressed. Really depressed. This article neatly summed up why.
As a palate cleanser, I offer this Nerd Girl anthem from Marian Call as a much nicer substitute:
For these lyrics alone:
All the cool kids keep enthusiasm rationed
Right down to the last explosive ounce
But I'd rather indulge my many passions
Even if my squaritude's a little too pronounced
....
The world is much too interesting to entertain ennui
And I won't ever play it cool so I won't ever once be bored
I am now officially in love with Marian Call's work. A True Story by Jane, The End.
