Pure Nerd 56 % Nerd, 34% Geek, 30% Dork

For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in all Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. Congratulations!

silly people. Everyone knows that nerds do techie stuff for a living, that geeks do it as a hobby, and that dorks are just plain cute.

It's raining soon, I think. And I'm listening to a bit from neil gaiman's almost-to-be new book. And there's a harecord british accent:O

I forgot about this email that medif wrote after she came to my house back three years ago (almost exactly)
( it feels so weird to read this now. . . )

I really don't know. I wish medif would be online once in a while, but like most of the MHers, I dunno what I would say if she was. Three years ago seems like such an awfully long time ago now. Instead of being a junior, I was just an eighth grader (strange, because eighth grade was one of the best years ever. And I've been wondering the last couple of years if I might not be going in a three year cycle. Sixth grade and ninth grade both sorta sucked, seventh and tenth were pretty cool. But eighth grade was awesome. Does that mean that 11th will be also?) Before I ever performed at half time, made all region band, went to church camp, drove a vehicle, played final fantasy X(or any of them apart from 5), started loving languages, before bst, and eoff, before asking for forgiveness of my sins. . .

It's like a whole other world, really.

It seems to me that the changes have been pretty good. I'm not sure that I would want any of them to be undone, because I am rather happy with the way things are right now. Of course, it might just be precariously balanced, and I sorta have a lurking worry in the back of my mind, but it does not seem *important*

I guess it's just growing up.

And I like it.

but is there anyone that would describe this as "heaven"?

Meredith, if you read this, the banana trees aren't quite as tall as they should be-- a lot of them died this winter, but they're still pretty tall, even if they barely peep out of the four'o'clocks ;)
