The desire for solitude = disease

Ever think about how many different ways there are to diagnose people who don't like spending time with other people? Avoidant personality disorder. Asperger's syndrome. Social phobia. Schizoid personality disorder. Noti…
A text mesage conversation between nerds

(Let me preface this by saying that, on a whim, I spent Tuesday counting every Prius that I saw. I was in Mountain View -- Google headquarters -- for most of the day, so the count finished at around 45.)Wednesday morning…
Ten things I like about not being single
