a place where I can expose all my nerdiness
My genius, if I can call it that, is to combine a whole load of averageness into one compact frame. You might say there were millions like me, but there aren't, really: lots of blokes have impeccable music taste but don't read, lots of blokes read but are really fat, lots of blokes are sympathetic to feminism but have stupid beards, lots of blokes have a Woody Allen sense of humor but look like Woody Allen, lots of blokes drink too much, lots of blokes behave stupidly when they drive cars, lots of blokes get into fights, or show off money, or take drugs. I don't do any of these things, really. High Fidelity

Os meus livros (que não sabem que existo)
São uma parte de mim, como este rosto
De têmporas e olhos já cinzentos
Que em vão vou procurando nos espelhos
E que percorro com a minha mão côncava.
Não sem alguma lógica amargura
Entendo que as palavras essenciais,
As que me exprimem, estarão nessas folhas
Que não sabem quem sou, não nas que escrevo.
Mais vale assim.
As vozes desses mortos
Dir-me-ão para sempre.
Jorge Luis Borges
