Alright, confess odd things.
Excessive complaining isn't allowed anywhere on the site. Keep it out of this thread.
For example, I'm jealous to my big brother becuase he discovered The Smiths first. Dammit, now I can't have a crush for Morrisey without feeling weird about it.

But I don't want to learn how! I have no interest in it whatsoever. That's part of the reason I feel so inferior.
EDIT: Well, I know how to steal someone's password with a fake URL, but that's a matter of convenience.

If it helps, Meaty, I probably know less about programming computers than you do.
Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text-Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffWait wait wait, you think you're inferior because you don't know how to program? That's sort of backwards. And if you don't want to learn, don't, it's not like it's an essential life skill.
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.I probably know more than you two seeing as I used to play around with RPG Maker.
But not knowing programming is no reason to feel inferior.
I feel so much pressure to learn, though. I hang out with too many nerds, I guess.
Same.
I'm also ridiculously behind the times in other technological aspects, as well. For instance, I still have a working VCR and still haven't made the transition from CD players to MP 3 players. Pathetically enough, I have one, but don't really use it (maybe I convince myself that downloading music/transferring all the music I want from my C Ds is too time-consuming).

I do know how to program in several languages, but I have such a short attention span that I never do anything with it. I want to make a game over the summer to prove myself wrong, but I have to beg one of my more artistically-inclined friends for graphics.
Okay, seriously, computers are only a tool. Anybody who seriously thinks they're better than you just because they can generate primes or whatever is out of whack.

What's a theremin?
A kind of electronic instrument.
Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text-Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffAwesome electronic musical instrument.
WTF NINJA
All professions have their niche humor. I know that I learn a lot from XKCD, because if I don't know what something is I check it on Wikipedia (for example, LISP, the Ackermann function, and Graham's number).

Productivity is for people without internet connections. -Count DorkuThere are only more programming/computer jokes because there are more programmers/computer nerds around nowadays, and for obvious reasons they have been using the internet for longer.
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.Wait, Made Of Meat, you play the theremin? Awesome.
Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text-Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffI wish I had a midi theremin. It would make my life complete.

I do not know how to program either. I do not feel inferior for it.
Actual weird confession:
Most Body Horror doesn't bother me. Monoko doesn't even phase me; I think she's cute. There is, however, one exception... Things growing in your skin, or skin growing around things. Those toads that spawn their tadpoles on holds in their backs FREAK ME THE HELL OUT.
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaYou think Monoko is cute too? She isn't as cute as the caterpillar girl from Franken Fran though...Were Monoko and that girl realistic CGI though I'd probably be very disturbed.
I sometimes want to be a parrot because I'd like to ruffle my neck feathers and play with my vocalisations. It's mostly about the ruffling though, it looks fun you know?
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahI have an odd kind of morbid fascination with things that disturb me, like Body Horror. I somehow feel compelled to understand them better.
Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text-Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffI confess that I was both Vegeta and Nappa, It seemed like a good idea at the time.
@Freezair: I could have posted the same thing. You're scaring me.
Some writing.Freezair: AIEEEEEE. There's still certain parts of Gremlins that I feel uncomfortable watching for that exact reason.
online since 1993 | huge retrocomputing and TV nerd | lee4hmz.info (under construction) | heapershangout.comFor my final animation project I made a 3D model of a man with eggs/wombs in his back. Best part of the presentation was seeing the Professor look away and mutter "ew" when one of them twitched at the end.
I don't have the animation online but here's the concept art if anyone's curious.

(Well, I meant like games, utilities, etc.)
Hmmm, let me think about what you should start out with. I started by messing around on my graphing calculator, but that's hardly intuitive.
