This summer I have come to terms with the fact that I am a nerd.
Let's face it: I get good grades, I like comics and science fiction, I obsess over anything related to music, I dress strangely, and I'm socially awkward (the last two were demonstrated very well at my trip to Carteens*).
Also, another thing that I think puts me out there, is I don't typically find the socially acceptable looking man (muscles, overly confident, masculine, etc.) to be attractive. Mark Wahlberg is really the only acception to that rule.
Earlier tonight, I was watching a rerun of SNL. Them Crooked Vultures happened to be the band that was playing that night and I squealed in delight because I want to marry Dave Grohl (My dad approves, Dave). But my eyes kept lingering over to the singer, Josh Homme, who sings for Queens of the Stone Age, as well. I'd never seen him before, but I must say, I found him to be very physically sexy. And sexy is a word that I use sparingly because I think it's creepy when sixteen year old girls use it. I'll let you see for yourself:
A little muscle, a little chub. He's a big dude. And I thought he was very attractive.
Moving on, I like super skinny guys, too. It's strange, but I can't help it. Geof Manthorne from Ace of Cakes is freakin adorable:
Now, back to the topic of nerdiness, which was clearly displayed above (;
While browsing a while back on Steven Smith's blog** (another man who I think is totally cute)***, I found this:
I thought it properly displayed the differences between geeks, dorks, dweebs, and nerds. But who uses the word "dweeb" anymore? People who are stuck in the past, that's who.
*I had to go to
Carteens on Wednesday and it was a very uncomfortable time for me. Everybody was really nice and friendly so I blame my being a nerd on my awkardness.
