Nerdoff!

I am currently in the middle of a 'nerd-off' with a fellow geek like creature and I am actually quite saddened at how many horrific nerd like qualities I have -

1) Healthy eating - apparently eating lots of vegetables is good for one's health and detrimental to one's coolness factor. If I was to be cooler, my diet would consist of bacon sandwiches and 57 varieties of cheese.
2) My teenage years - There are photos of me as a teenager that are hilarious as they are confidence shredding. I had, in no definite order, braces, a bad fringe, spots, a tendency to smile with the lips tightly closed (i.e a scowl) and a predilection for badly fitting jeans.
3) Fancying Matthew Bellamy for 8 years - he's really hot, ok? H-O-T. I refuse to apologise for being attracted to a man who is a quarter of my mass and who wears multi coloured woolly jumpers.
4) Buffy The Vampire Slayer - I wanted to recreate her every move - which casts a vaguely sinister light over the reasons why I did tae-kwon do.
5) Thick lensed glasses - a nerdy stereotype, I know, but heck, I comply!
6) Regular baking fits
7) Regular museum visits
8) I briefly, actually considered attending a sci-fi convention
9) Comedy knickers

So ha! I am indeed a nerd. I will not be cowed, or intimidated from my superior nerd position, unless someone threatens me soundly. In fact, I am going to go out and buy ill fitting jeans. Right now!

I am back in Belfast and working temporarily in Subway. The highlight so far has been meeting a rather hot Belfast Giants ice hockey player and getting to wear a snazzy apron. But being back in a city is cool - I am partying incessantly, going to gigs (Mogwai! - excellently depressing) and most importantly, catching up with the people that I have missed over the past year.

As for those of you that I am missing right now, I bestow a small gift upon you -

You will never be a nerd, because

a) you are a hot girl, and
b) you do not play Warhammer.

I win!

Ha! You both think that you outnerd me but I have a secret weapon up my sleeve...I shan't reveal it, however, as it will most likely fill you with shame and foreboding, as it is the nerdiest thing you could ever conceive.
