You Know You're a Nerd When

So I don't have your usual today because its been a pretty hectic week and I haven't been remembering all the funny quotes you guys have been saying. (If you're here for the quotes, why not try something differnt)

I went to the MyLife premiere. It was really quite fun! Talked to all my old friends and got a hug which I was COMPLETELY unprepared for. (Sorry Emma.) Walked the red carpet, Declan left me hanging, then left a message for the Class of 2010 on Ash's thingy. (at this point I should ask Ash what its called, but I'm bad at blogging.) Jonathan's behind the scene music video was great. You can see me looking like a complete idiot on it.

Um something different

You know you are a nerd when:

1. Getting a date to the formal due to your social awkwardness is harder than any math test you've ever done.
2. The only way you're going to get a girlfriend is if there is a Zombie apocalypse and you are are one of the few alive. Other ways of getting a girlfriend are similarly extreme and retarded situations. Movies depicts nerds as the most underrated type of guy ever.
3. Your computer is your pride and joy. Without it you would cease to function as a nerd. Without your computer and subsequently access to the internet you wouldn’t be able to keep up with what is happening in your social life. (Yes, you can have a social life and be a nerd)
4. You are completely freaky in some time of novelty game whether it be Tetris, Touhou or COD. When you try to explain to your friends who good you are at the game, they just shrug and get back to whatever you’re doing.
5. You are also completely freaky at a popular game. This includes but is not limited COD, C.S. 1.6, WOW, DotA or any such intense computer game.
6. When some of your friends has left their assignment to the last minute, you are the go to guy for a copy and plagiarize off. You have a moral obligation as a nerd to help everyone achieve the best grades possible by any means necessary.
7. Your role in class is to whisper the answer of the question the teacher is asking. You should not take any of the glory of being able to answer the question. Your glory comes when the results of the tests are handed back. Asking people who you know went badly for their marks is considered bad form.
8. You have not participated into the highest level of any sport since you were born. You are mediocre at sport and you’re often last picked. Similarly, your recess and lunch is not composed of you doing any physical activity of any kind but rather you and your friends (most likely fellow nerds) talking about your latest accomplishment on your tests/ tetris/ computer game.
9. You have download tones and tones of anime and watch it every night. You wish you were cool like naruto and have the ability to make millions of copies of yourself. Subsequently because you stay up so late watching it, the times when you do forget to do your homework is because you’ve been watching anime.
10. Pokémon discussions are not frowned upon but highly encouraged. Not knowing the pros and cons for each starter Pokémon in any of the Pokémon game is something to be avoided. Discussion about the pros and cons of any one of the first 150 Pokémons is a daily facet of your recess and lunch.

So me and Jonathan Calleja have decided to write a collaborative story together. Jonathan's blog is often a lot more darker than mine. I have enormous respect for him because he does not have any problems are about revealing details about his personal life. The first chapter of our yet to be named story can be found on Jonathan's blog "http://hyperwater.easyjournal.com/"

Part 1 saw the introduction of the main character Dane who is a teenager. He lives in a dysfunctional family and does not seem very happy about his life. At the end of the part 1 we are also introduced to a girl who is having her first day at school.

"Mum! Where's my uniform!" Anne yelled

"They're on the the chair. I ironed your dress last night."

Today. would be Anna's first day at her new school starting in year 11. Her family had only moved in the week before and because of all the unpacking arguments with her younger brother, Anna had not had a chance to go out and make some friends.

Anna ran down the staircase of her new home.

"How did you sleep last night sweetie?" Anna's mum asked.

"Bad. I'm really nervous about today." Anna said.

"I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends! Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to school?"

"Yes mum, I'm sure!"

Anna was just like your average year 11 girl. She was good looking but not good looking enough to have all the guys in her old school following her. She was smart enough to be in the advance mathematics class but she certainly wasn't the best. Anna was also a key defender in her previous school's hockey team.

As Anna got onto the bus, she looked about for a friendly face that she could have a conversation with. She didn't see any. All the boys and girls were sitting in their respective groups talking and chatting happily way. All of them were wearing their school's striking blazer and none of them noticed her. Desperately Anna looked for a vacant seat. She found one at the very back, full of graffiti.

A boy got on a few stops later. Unbeknown to her, he stared at her briefly looking quite annoyed. He took a seat by a window. S

taring out the window with the most vacant look on his face who seemed quite alone. When Anna finally noticed she tried to make conversation with him, but the boy just ignored him, seemingly distant and unresponsive.

"Well, looks like I'm off to a great start." Anna said.
