I just started Storm Front on the recommendation of my PC doctor. I'm enjoying it a lot. Love the quirky characters.

Actually, I am a geek. I do not have any tape holding my eyeglasses together and I have never cut my hair so short that I don't have to comb it when I get out of the shower.
Geeks are nerds with style.

that's exactly what I thought. It seems a bit breathless - paragraphs-long sentences, etc.
