It’s odd that a nerd like myself would so willingly take on such a bad-bum persona. I was a textbook nerd before I turned 15, with crappy-looking glbumes, a library obsession, always wowing the teachers with great work. But after I took on the Falcon persona, I gave the finger to school, stopped caring about my grades (well, other than “hacking” grades in high school), and actually starting caring about things like acceptance and image. In support of our military, I always wore my personally-bought BDU jacket to school, even after they came up with a BS new dress code rule vaguely prohibiting such things (articles that attract attention, or something like that). But I retained some of my nerdiness amongst this new persona.
