An oldie but a goodie from the VlogBrothers on YouTube:
“Why is being a nerd bad? Saying ‘Hey, I noticed you’re a nerd’ is like saying, ‘Hey, I noticed that you’d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you’d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you’d rather believe there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsey Lohan. Why is that?'”
and…
“It’s not that I mind being insulted, it’s that I mind being insulted so poorly.”
Why can’t I be this nerd-cool? I want to be this nerd-cool.

I really want to click on that link but I know if I do, I will be watching their videos the rest of the day.
I want to be BFFs with Hank Green. So. Much.
Also you need to stop talking about how you want friends to come over and surprise you and build forts and have story time, when you are far away instead of an apartment right across from mine. 😛

It’s true. I was watching those videos late into the night cracking up and delighting in their nerdery.
Haha yeah, I apologize about that. I think when classes and graduation are over, I’m going to host a fort party, or something. Pack up all my stuff so the living room is open, and make a bunch of fort-tents.
