That's just why I'm happy to call myself a nerd, less happy to be called a geek.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I stick with "a little off." Covers a multitude of things.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I knew there was a geek/nerd distinction but I can never remember what it is. If I start trying to figure it out from first principles I get all hung up on the guys biting heads off of chickens.
Eta what I was actually meaning to say: I don't know how to apply that distinction to myself. In any given subject, my depth of knowledge is quite shallow, especially compared to real experts/fans/geeks. But my wide-ranging shallow store of trivial knowledge doesn't really add up to academia, either.

I really like Tyra's haircut. Wish I could pull it off.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Speaking from the future, I can assure you that it will. Evenually.
Hey, you were right!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The good news: JZ after months of dispiriting job hunting got one job offer from a very cool architectural firm that specializes in hospital/health care design, and looks like she'll get another offer from the new biotech project happening in SF.
The bad news: After Emmett got dropped off at school today, he broke into tears and could not go on to the school ground. The principal collected him and took him to the office and his mother was called and he went home for the day. He doesn't know why he burst into tears or felt so disconsolate. It's like...like...he just crossed the barrier into crazy hormonal teenagehood two years early.
