Love in the Time of Cooties

I recently watched  "this American Life" season one. My favorite was episode two, Joe No Love. Joe is 14. He sees his friends getting crushes, falling in love and acting stupid. He is happy- playing Dungeons and Dragons, reading, just being a kid. So he decides to opt out. He even makes a video message to the 25 year old, future Joe, telling him that he hopes he has not given in.The only exception is that he has had a dream that he meets a girl in another "realm" and together they have awesome weapons and fight dragons. Well Joe, thats my dream too. Except in my dream I'm Buffy and we fight vampires.
