Conclusive proof that I am but merely an aspiring nerd, for it is only common knowledge that every nerd out there has his or her own blog. Sort of like it’s part of the package. One geek equals goofy wardrobe, outstanding academic ability, arithmetic mastermind, relentless passion for sci-fi movies, superior IT skills, and of course one standard technologically enhanced blogspot! Standard nerd criterion.
As much as one can try to be a nerd, the same rule applies, you either have it, or you don’t. Like style, or charisma. You can spend a lifetime trying to be the perfect nerd but chances are you’ll never make it. Nerds are very similar to cats really. Especially the way they relate to dogs. They have that aloofness. I think it’s almost like a higher calling to be a nerd; the nerd must have extreme patience and perseverance dealing with us mere mortals and our stubborn mental refusal to grasp complex concepts that’s been generously and carefully unpacked and simplified for us. They’re geniuses! The rest of us are but mere civilians. This is a troublesome truth, but we must accept it.
So with this humble introduction to my very ordinary civilian blogspot, please bear in mind that I do, from time to time, resemble marvellous and much sought-after nerd qualities that will be proudly displayed in honour of those I admire. You can become a follower should you wish to investigate the accuracy of the latter statement, and feel free to participate by recording your observations and conclusions in the comment box.
Respectfully saluting all the nerds out there! (My favourite book is the dictionary – please can I hang with you???)

Lisi, there's no way I'm going to classify you as a nerd. You're just to cool for it. You write wonderfully and dress with understated class. There is more to say but I'm inept to wax lyrically, like you. Just know how cool I think you.
I meant to say: Just know how cool I think you ARE!
