A little possibility exists here, I'd follow it. And privately I thought what I look like resembles this avatar.

Actually I don't want to take along a notebook always and everywhere, nor do want other one to look at me as if I'm a monster when I take a notebook out to read. But when I take out my smart phone and pretend that I'm browsing websites or entertainment apps, all things that annoy me would not happen. The new words being preserved here means I can review them wherever I am and whenever I'd like, as long as my smart phone can work.

So you are essentially an undercover "nerd"
