barney's like that too. he's very much into academics and takes his education pretty seriously. he's a total dork, but tries to act a lot more cooler than he actually is. he tends to get really nervous when a pretty girls around and will tend to ramble about nothingness when he's feeling uncomfortable. he's a bit of a klutz too, but prett sweet and friendly once you get past his dorky exterior. i could totally see them being best guy friends.
