Is being a nerd a bad thing? That's a thought I have pondered for many, many years. All throughout my years in school I was labeled one and would get so frustrated and angered by it. I guess when you're young, everyone is just dying to be considered cool, and heaven forbid if you are even seen talking to or standing near someone even thought of being a nerd. As you get older, you learn not to trip so much when people label you, no matter what it is. I guess you realize that they are just words and really don't have much weight when you think about it. I bet you're wondering why I decided to analyze such a term so deeply. Well, it stems from what a friend of mine said to me earlier. She got the e-mail I sent about my blog while at work, and she yelled from the other room, "Oh my God Katherine, you are such a nerd! You have an online journal? That's so corny!" I can laugh about that now, and know that Tina only teases me out of love (I hope!). I couldn't help but die laughing at that, now at least. It's funny how things just don't matter as much as you get older.
p.s.: Tina, you make me sick! (LOL!) You're still my homie though! :)
