Yah.
Um. Happy New Year?
I sure showed NaBloPoMo who was boss... not only did I stop blogging half way through November, but I totally ignored my blog through December and I'm about half way through January and I considered not blogging just to be stubborn.
But then I decided, maybe not.
I have been busy. And actually, it involves writing and watching cartoons for a legitimate purpose... so now you can't judge me. This whole development is still in it's infancy, so I won't discuss it much just yet but it is exciting nevertheless.
I won't bother to do a recap of what transpired in the last 8 weeks or so. I'd rather it remain enigmatically surrounded by mystery and sex appeal. You can come up with your own theories and discuss the exciting unknown events of D in December and it will totally be a hotbed of intrigue like Agatha Christie's 1926 disappearance.
Speaking of Agatha Christie - I've started watching Doctor Who. And by started, I mean I've finished all 5 series of the relaunch on Netflix and I eagerly await the upcoming new season. So that was awesome.
I need to start an organization. I'll call it Nerd Scouts. You'd get a uniform and a hat and a sash and you collect badges in your Nerd Troop. For example, if you're a Nerdie, you're the lowest level nerd and you make Star Wars light sabers out of popsicle sticks and Star Trek insignia patches out of macaroni that you give to your parents as a thank you for letting you live in their basement at 35.
As you go up in the ranks of the Nerd Scouts, you collect badges - I probably would have just received my Tardis Badge for catching up to Doctor Who in under 2 weeks, but my Nerd Scout superior who has earned the rank of Elf Scout carries a bow and arrow that he earned at his LOTR ceremony and a Dalek Badge for having seen every episode of Doctor Who since 1963. The badge earning possibilities are practically unlimited!
Once a year, we'd sell Nerd Scout Cheesy Poofs (nerd snack of choice) in flavors like, White Cheddar, Burninating The Universe Spicy and Classic Orange and suggest flavors of Shasta to compliment with the sole purpose of collecting enough funds to make it to our annual scout jamboree in San Diego aka. ComicCon.
Seriously, doesn't it just sound super awesome?! Who's in!?
I love it. Count me in to be a Nerd Scout.
ReplyDeleteI'm in too!
ReplyDeletei'm not a nerd but will gladly be our admin girl :P
ReplyDeleteAs much as I want to avoid the Nerd vs. Geek debate, a few of your analogies stray into Geekdom do they not? Yes I know, splitting hairs.. count me in as long as I can use both Nerd and Geek synonymously.
ReplyDeleteI look to the Venn Diagram for guidance: http://laughingsquid.com/nerd-venn-diagram-geek-dork-or-dweeb/
ReplyDeleteShane, you're correct - my analogies are largely geek! Because nerd covers all our basis, Nerd Scouts is probably the best umbrella term. We're bound to have some social ineptitude in our ranks, but that's why it's going to be awesome!
