on nerds



"First, the general breakdown of women to men in publishing is about 3 to 1. And of the men, about 70% are gay. So you're talking a 10 to 1 female to heterosexual ratio. On the top of that, aside from new more high-profile departments like publicity, publishing is filled with a high percentage of former nerds (myself included) who spent the majority of their childhoods indoors, reading books. My friend Jaqueline, for example, was featured in her local newspaper in North Carolina for reading over five-hundred books in one year; she was five at that time. Not that I should talk -my greatest accomplishment as a kid was making it to the state tournament spelling bee, losing in the final round on the word precipice. This is not to say that all former nerds are unattractive. To the contrary, I think we're a great breed -quirky, smart, and far more interesting that your average former-cheerleader or ex-jock."

por eso yo estoy con un ingeniero y no hablo de mi infancia (a menos que esté entre mi secta).
