Actually, I watched him with school "buddies" at an event the other day where he didn't know I was there, and I was sad for him. He was faking it like a pro. But I could tell he was not really having fun. It was a little eerie.

Poor guy. That is tough. I hope that he is able to find a kindred spirit soon.
