Creeping toward Nerdvana.

Dad: I barely even know who Sting is.
Mom: It's alright. He was kind of after your time.
Dad: I mean, I always...I always thought Michael Bowie was the lead singer of Sting.

I swear I become more of a nerd every day of my life. A true nerd, that is, not merely an academic overachiever, escaping from the headaches of all the P classes (Physics, Precal, Phys Ed and Phrench) into a fantasy world of solitary revelry. I am a hardcore sci-fi junkie, a hopeless internet addict, and an individual of what many would deem desperately poor musical taste. Seriously, it's just getting worse and worse.

I've spent a lot of time trying to come to terms with this aspect of my character, but I realize now that it really defines me as a person. It's part of who I am, and there is no changing it. I'm going to have to tell my parents someday, although something tells me that they won't be surprised, but I wanted you guys to find out first. You have been such good friends to me thus far; I knew you would support me in this.

That is that. I have plenty of new blog ideas, some of which will hopefully become realities once this busy spell ends, but for now I must away.

'Nerdery' is a good word too.

Nerd is derive from a 'nerd' named Dern. His colleagues decided to mix the two outer letters of his name when talking behind his back in front of him.

Did you know Fuchs's (THAT WAS PUNCTUATIONALLY CORRECT) father was the source of the word nerd?

Impressive.
