I need your grace to remind me to find my own.

New blog post! less than a month after my last one! *checks outside* The world hasn't ended!
So I'm at work... bored out of my mind, and I thought to myself "what a better way to waste my time than to self indulgently complain about my day to about six anonymous people and Rae?" The answer from myself to myself was "no better way self, you brilliant human being you, no better way." But actually I did nothing at work escept complete the few menial tasks that had to be done (it took me 2 hours), answer phones (4 phone calls), go on facebook, read Fanfiction, get caught up on all the latest facts and throries of my favorite TV shows and check all my favorite blogs. (post secret, failblog, and even MLIA, Rae.)All this makes me a horrible employee and an excellent Nerd. Which seems to be the theme of my life "I'm a horrible student, instead of studying I caught up on Lost, But at least I now know absolutely everything about it!!!" or "I'm a horrible daughter, instead of cleaning my room like my parents asked (begged), I read fanfiction and trolled message boards about all the best shows!" Sometimes I think this nerd mentality is a curse. When I like somthing I don't just like it, I obssess over it, and I obssess HARD. I've heard this from a bunch of other nerds so I know it's not just me. It's like this obsessive complusive need to know everything about something. If I find something I like I must immediatly watch/ read everything to do with it and then troll the internet for any extra theories/facts/oppinions/cannon, and screw anything else I have to do. This is obviously more importanant. I mean I know other people who love The U.K. and the culture and the history but not a lot of them would go out of their way to learn Welsh (so hard.)For abosolutely no reason at all. Oh man... It just leads me to believe that there is a certain predisposition to being a nerd. I just do a study. I could make millions, win a nobel prize... I'd probably need a psych degree... too much work. Maybe I'll make it a YA novel. They're always more profound than people give them credit for.

In other news Savy is staying at my house for august long, which is exciting. i'll get to see Rae again which is lovely!
I also through a successful surprise party on Sunday! I was pleased that she had no idea! Woo!
I am so ready to be done with work and go back to school. although I know that the minute I get there I'll be done with school and ready to go back to doing Jack all. I think I'm going to travel next summer. That'll be nice, and I deserve some off time. I've been in school for the past 14 years and working the entire summer for the past 6. thats six years of just getting weekends off. I think if I work another summer without taking a break I'm going to throw something through a window.

Update for those who care: I have twenty minutes left! Woo! This post has successfully wasted time and I Should probably go tidy things up before I leave. Blogs out of boredom.... hopefully it's not too boring.

TTFN,

Julie
