Yes. Word. Everything you just said about the aloneness of geekiness. I read the sci-fi/fantasy, did the Star Trek cons, played the RPGs and yeah, I had friends who did the same, but I'm still socially clueless. And let me tell ya something, being a girl with no social skills? So much worse than guys have it. Society kind of expects the guys to be clueless, no one gets it when a woman is both a total geek and can't understand subtlety, or body language or any of those other fun things I think I was supposed to learn in high school. Yeah, back at those dances I didn't attend, the dates I didn't go on ('cause books were so much more interesting), etc.
