Help! I think my brother is a dork! (SM.AC 4)
A few advice questions to catch up on as my electronic pen springs to life once more.
Dear Dr. SymphonicMan,
My brother is a dork. He tries really, really hard, and he even dates cute girls, but deep down I know he is a really big dork. The people would like to present Exhibit A: His blog. Also Exhibit B: His bassoon. Exhibit C: his CD collection (it's mostly classical... I know, maybe it's just to get chicks, but I think he actually likes Mahler more than most chicks).
Please do anything possible to help him. Though I have already been diagnosed with Terminal Dorkitude, and am hoping to use my condition to raise awareness and get a Ph.D., perhaps it is not too late to save him from the same fate.
Sincerely,
Sister of a Seriously Dorky Dude
Note: SM.AC is a series of "advice column" (AC) posts based on actual questions from actual readers, who may or may not be telling the truth, and may or may not be blatantly misrepresenting who they are and what they actually think. Send your questions here.
Your brother's condition sounds serious, but remember: it could be worse. It could be much worse. If it is true that he has a blog, I hope he updates it regularly. The only thing worse than having a blog is having a "blog" upon which the "blogger" never writes. As for playing the bassoon, again, it could be worse: he could be an oboist. And as for his CD collection: well, at least he has good taste. Mahler is, in fact, quite preferable to "most chicks," being altogether more passionate, fulfilling, and beautiful. Have you considered that the reason he only dates cute girls is perhaps because the non-cute ones don't compare to Mahler, Beethoven, Debussy, and Mozart?
