Dearest Darling Readers,
I have just returned from nerd camp! This is technically my second nerd camp of the summer, though the first one involved an internship as well. Anyway, I miss nerd camp.
Okay, so at home, I have a fairly close, but substantially sized group of friends. We're probably like 20-something people all together. But basically we are a big collection of all of the "weird" kids from pretty much every grade. We are all big nerds, even if we aren't all straight-A students like Geek. We know everything about Harry Potter (except Geek--who ever said that the Dementor's Kiss kills you? :-P), we get excited about book releases, we read xkcd, we watch dorky youtube shows, we watch Doctor Who, and we are just overall awesomely crazy. But then there's...the others. AKA the rest of our school, many of whom are "normal."
Now at nerd camp, EVERYONE is just like my weird, crazy, awesome friends! Instead of taking all of the "weird" kids from every grade, you've got "weird" kids from schools all over the world all in the same place! It's so amazing! I never really thought about it before, but it's kinda crazy that there are so many people as weird as my friends and I are. Except maybe if you went to PotterCon...but that's online, so it doesn't really count...
Anyway, have fun imagining 150 Freaks, Geeks, Books, and Bimbos running around!

A Gracefully Aging Geek
Dearest Darling Readers,
HEY PEOPLE! It's Geek's birthday today! So, to celebrate her 17 years (she's so old, right? As old as Bimbo!) on planet Earth (hopefully all seventeen were spent on this planet, anyway...or, actually, scratch that...being from/going to somewhere that's not Earth would be pretty damn cool...I would know, I'm an alien), I decided to write a completely useless and random post! I was GOING to list off all of the AWESOME memories I have made with Geek, such as spending Friday nights in middle school at Barnes & Noble doing our Menu/Palettes of Problems, or going shopping and eating Korean food in Chinatown, or our amazing prom, or our band's Six Flags trip last spring, or her defacing of my ninth grade yearbook, or--and do you see why I decided not to do this? There are just TOO DAMN MANY awesome times!
So! Here's to the special day of the year that we get to do nothing but celebrate this super awesome, smart, funny, nice, friendly, supah sexy, amazing person who we are so super duper lucky to have in our lives! Love you, Geek!
