Nerd Convention

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!
