I played tournament chess from fifth grade up into high school.

I do lots of crowd work in my set, because I enjoy writing material through riffing and conversation.

When I was in grade school I was into chess club, Latin club, D&D, computer camp - everything that made vaginas go away.

We're gonna have fun, god***it!

I would say that nerds, as a rule, are much more sexually active than the average person. There's a lot of anxiety and stress in the nerd brain, so sex is good for that.

There are certain parts of a classic nerd's brain that can destroy that person - obsessing about things to the detriment of everything else in your life. But those are the same tools that you can use to turn everything around.

It changed my whole outlook. I lost a decade to self-pity, and the next thing I knew I was turning 40.
