I've recently been faced with the dilemma I personally face of whether or not something is worthwhile enough for me to be nerdy. It sounds silly but let me explain...
-So this all started out when one night me and my friend Dave were coming back from a bar on a particular night in which we were trashed. There was this reflector light we found on a construction site belonging to our school. Long story short, we stole it (for our dorm room of course) unknowingly with the guard booth no more than 10 feet away. So that's the basis...we got "written up" by the security guard.
-10 days later we find ourselves in a meeting with our RD, and basically we end up being coerced into a spelling bee of our building. Somehow I win. This left me with the dilemma of partaking in the school-wide bee where a $75 gift card to Amazon was on the line. I was pretty sure I could win, so my "nerdiness" was worth it. I guess I didn't factor in that I got lucky, wasn't actually a good speller, and just embarrassed myself by sucking and getting knocked out in the first round...fml.
-Fuck My Life... one of the many abbreviations for me that I use so much so that I now end up actually saying the letters FML when talking. A few others (some of which I made up, others I didn't) include: dwai (don't worry about it), cte (care to elaborate), LTD (living the dream --> it's pretty famous around my friends), pf (party-foul --> i often say pf flyers for some reason), and obviously slap (sounds like a plan...which is the only one besides fml that I actually say out loud). Some are shortened words such as: buff chick pee, buff chick dubs, choc chip cooks, choc chip pee, choc chip dubs, B and E with Chee, etc.
-Slightly off topic, but it will bring us back to am I a nerd...remote controls. I think the infrared technology in them is pretty cool, but imagine if they shortened the wavelength in those bad boys a little, and used LEDs of a visible spectrum. Think about it, you're changing the channel and lasers flying around, that's pretty cool. Also, you'd know if your battery is dead cause you couldn't see the laser (I'm a nerd so I know you can check it now with a digital camera that can see the IR beams). So, keep in mind visible LEDs for remotes...boom.
-Speaking of boom, that's a great fucking word. I say boom all the time, often coupled with the suffix -sauce. Sauce is a great suffix when played as the following: calling a friend noobsauce, saying boomsauce when something good happens, seeing what you're eating with your pasta (tomatosauce if you didn't get that one).
-So, this has been pretty off tangent, I think of stupid ass shit that not many other people would, does this make me a nerd?...you tell me.

Would you really want to constantly shot in the face with remote control beams while trying to watch reruns of Full House? I know I wouldn't, I need to concentrate.
well actually, you would only see beams when pressing the buttons, so you can spend plenty of time wondering WWUJD (what would uncle jesse do) without distraction
