I love jury duty (although I've only done it once). I did get asked that same question of whether I would let something (my age, since I was at least 10++ years younger than everyone there) prevent me from having a different opinion from everyone else. I would say I have had a shameful nerd argument, but I am in no way ashamed of said arguments. I am a big giant nerd and that is what my life is. I've been to 3 harry potter symposiums and spent several hours listening to lectures, reading papers, and discussing in roundtables. I once spent an hour in a New Orleans restaurant talking about how Umbridge (the character I dress up as) was raped by centaurs in OotP (order of the phoenix). There is no shame in loving fandom. I am a giant nerdy dork and I am cool as heck. And for the songs I turn up? Well I'm (almost) 22 - it seems my obligation as a young person is to keep the volume as loud as possible.

Oh, I could go on about that all day. An extrovert friend of mine once asked me, "Why do you, as an introvert, hate people?" And I had to give him the run-down on what it means to be an introvert. I don't hate people. I *love* people. I am therefore dissatisfied with superficial and inadequate interactions with people. I want to really connect, which is impossible in a crowded setting. It's really the extroverts who hate persons. Right? ;) Introvert vs. Extrovert… Oh, I could go on about that all day.
