mediocre nerd

you may be asking yourself: how did the name mediocre nerd come about? (and if you didn't you get the answer today anyway). i thought i would do a little explaining on today's post.

others in my life tend to refer to me as a nerd. i'm fine with the label. i can see how some of my interests definitely sway nerdy.

however i do believe that in no one area am i a hardcore "nerd". just a few examples:

• music: i can't play an instrument. i can't read music. i know some bands that aren't on the "radio"but there is no way i can tell you what cd a certain song is from or what the album artwork is.lyrics and the ability to guess who's singing is about as far as i go.
• television shows: i love doctor who, firefly and sherlock just to name a few. other than watching the episodes and knowing main characters you won't get any, "hey this happened in season 4, episode 22 at 5 min and 10 sec." 
  
• technology: i can't fix technological stuff. i am not an it person. i simply know that turning it off and back on sometimes helps. if that doesn't work then google is your friend.
• i love to read. wait this one might just be straight up nerd.

and that's how i ended up as the mediocre nerd. i half ass all of my nerdom. but half ass nerd just doesn't have the same ring to it.

as a side note: i would be like nick if i ever met prince. i love prince!


let me know what you nerd out over and how in depth that nerdery goes.
