I'm a nerd...
This weekend has been devoted to the completion of homework and job-work. (I have explored several words in order to express the idea of bringing work from my job home with me. So far the pretend vocabulary includes: "work-work", "employed-work", "job-work" and "horrorbeaver". While none really have a nice ring to them, I've elected to use job-work for the time being.) Sometime yesterday, while researching Hesiod's Theogony, I allowed myself to get side tracked. I ended up at one of my favourite band's Myspace page. While the band is on hiatus, it appears that the lead singer is writing some solo material. I went to her MySpace page...
*side note*
My mother, in her infinite hipness, thinks the site is either named "MyFace" or "SpaceBook". Also, my unhinged art teacher told us this week how much she loves playing "Guitar Player" on the "Playbox". I find these misnomers to by hysterical!
I now return you to our regularly scheduled livejournal.
I went to the lead singer's MySpace page, and listened to her solo material for roughly half the day. After a little more homework, I went all fan-boy and sent her a message on MySpace. You know, just the typical thumbs up message. Nothing embarrassing or involving flailing in person.
Anyhow, the point of this non-sense is that she messaged me back a few minutes ago. When I first saw the reply, I was nonchalant about it. I assumed it would be some typical generic reply with little value. Instead, it was an actual reply about three times the length of my original message. Her reply was grateful, inquisitive, and invited me to communicate with her in the future. Upon reading her message, I went momentarily giddy. In a rather embarrassing and temporary loss of control, I jumped up and down until I hit my head on my ceiling.... (being tall has obvious disadvantages).
*sigh* I'm better now.
*Caution* Pointless trivia below!! *Caution*
In reference to the title (plus the fact that I learned this little tidbit over the weekend), apparently Dr. Seuss is credited with the creation of the word "nerd"... again, this is something which I find funny.
Good night!
