Truthfully, I *do* think he is in many ways a self-insert, or at least the one they most identify with/most want to be. But because they're all huge, 12 year old nerds, they're flaws, their adorable "guy" behavior you were writing about in your post and their random cute friendshippie bits also find their way into the character.
If a woman/group of women was/were writing Keller as their insert character, I honestly feel she'd be a lot different. And I think I'd connect with her a lot more.
But that's just me. *shrug*
*huggles* Really sorry this has got you down :( Don't worry, I'll stick completely to squee with you from now on! ^_^ (New ep tomorrow...wheeeee!!)
