(Star
Trek: TOS theme playing)
These are the voyages of the library nerd club
Our mission: to explore new ways of being nerdy,
To seek out new ways of using Mac computers
To boldly use our speak and spells
Like no nerd has done before
Above
is what I found myself singing out loud with my mom in the room, while I was
trying to think of a topic for my blog today. My mother commented that I should
just write that down, because: A. it’s extremely nerdy and B. because it would
be a nice way to start out my blog for today.
Nerds
I feel are very smart in the sense that we are so overly nerdy, our brains fill
up with so much knowledge that eventually we invent something that out-nerds
even ourselves. We are also very imaginative people, if you can explain using
analogies the way a warp engine works (which I have), or how the light saber
works, or even how Dungeons and Dragons works (because I have no clue how it
does, but bullocks to you if you do, you sir or ma’am are a proper genius.
When
you live with a nerd, or are around nerds a lot, you might pick up some strange
thing, or saying, that will engage your thought processor, mine is a Dell
because I can’t work a Mac (again, if you do, bollocks to you, you strange
person), and by doing this, your brain is instantly although in a minor way
reshaped to think differently about the world around you, even if you don’t notice
it. When you pick up on little things for years and years and years, you will
become so fluent in that way of thinking that you are probably able to start talking
differently, too.
Nerds
are also a bit to get used to sometimes. If you live with a nerd presently, you’ll
probably remember your adjustment period, where for around the first couple
months you just stop listening to them by turning up the volume on your TV
during Wheel of Fortune, just so you don’t have to give an opinion on what
bubble-gum suspenders look better with their pizza striped jacket (that was a
bit farfetched, but you know what I mean). And for those of you just living
with one or newly together, hold on tight, because it’s going to be….interesting
for lack of better term….oh wait! Psychotic works great, so to all of you newly
moved-in-together people, I hope you’re both nerds, because if one’s not it
could be a long….long adjustment period for you, best wishes.
