I am a geek and a nerd, even though I spent many years of my youth defensively declaiming that I was such. Only nerds carry LEDs and 9-volt batteries to class."Close Encounters of the Third Kind" freaked the shit out of my 5-year-old ass because that kid who got abducted looked like me and the setting of the movie looked like Lubbock where I lived. Also, my bedroom at the end of the hall had a mirror I could see from the kitchen, so at night on the way to bed I'd see my big-headed alien shadow down the hall and freak. Also, at age 3 my entire family was abducted by aliens and replaced with replicants.They're out there, man.
